3D Printing

The Club also has a 3D printing division located in Daktronics Engineering Hall, Room 061..


Battle Bots

The robotics club will be hosting a battle-bots competition this spring.


Autonomous Sprayer

The autonomous sprayer project involves retrofitting a new Ryobi electric mower with a navigational system using a microcontroller, GPS, and radio communication. The finished project will be able to spray vineyards autonomously using GPS location and obstacle detection. The project is funded by the SARE grant which was presented to us by SDSU alum Jerome Natzel.


Collegiate Combat

The robotics club will be attending a collegiate combat/battle bots competition in the spring."
