What do we do?

We are a society aimed for anyone and everyone to talk to other individuals interested in Robotics! You don't have to be studying a Robotics degree or even STEM subject, we run workshops from the complete beginning upwards!

Our highlights:

• Workshops throughout the year! Take part in our workshop series and have a fully assisted, fun, and learning experience to create your very own robot! Last year we ran a series of three workshops to produce a Hoverboat! Prior to that it was the boat race, prior to that sumo bots... We've done it all! This semester 1, we are working on a Racing-Kart!
• Crash-courses throughout the year! A complete beginner to git, overleaf, or want to improve your skills? Then we might have the course for you! Come along to our 1-3 hour sessions, teaching you the fundamentals of things that regular classes might not have the time for!
• Training throughout the year! Ran by the GRID maker space, be the first to hear when further training opportunities become available, such as 3D printing, or laser cutting! Join our Discord using the bubble at the top to learn more!
• Have a more competitive edge? We have support systems in place to help advise and sponsor competition teams, such as our 2023 entry to the Pi-Wars competition!
• Want to test something with a Raspberry Pi? We might have one in stock! We'll shortly be rolling out our parts borrowing service
• Socials and other fun events! BBQ's, games nights, ice skating, club nights, we've ran it all! Keep an eye on this page, or join our Discord using the bubble at the top of this page!

What can I expect to see in the future?

We're currently working on many things behind the scenes! Here's a few sneaky details from some of our plans:

• Robotics Hub! We have access to various other labs around the University, with academics itching to work with vairous teams! Get in touch if you are interested, or, we'll advertise available opportunities!
• More inter-society collaboration! Last year we co-organised the UniBots competition with the University of Cambridge, and collab with other robotics societies around the UK to bring bigger events to you!
• Academic and business relations! We are currently sponsored by Maki&Ramen! They offer our members a lovely 20% discount, available via our mailing list, so sign up as a member today! This is an ongoing effort to get more companies interested, so do keep an eye on our Discord for any future events!

Volunteers

Our amazing volunteers work closely with our committee to keep the society running! We're always looking for more too, so if you are interested, please reach out to any of our committee members for more information!
