University of Minnesota Robotics is a student organization at the University of Minnesota. We have three major goals: to design and build robots, to support the FIRST Robotics program in the Minneapolis and St. Paul areas, and to host outreach events to raise awareness of robotics and STEM education. Currently, our teams compete in the ION Autonomous Snowplow Competition, Vex U, the Nasa Robotic Mining Challenge, FTC U and Bot Shot. Additionally, we participate in non-competitive robot builds, including Robot in 3 Days (RI3D). Outside of competition, we mentor local robotics teams, volunteer at regional events, and facilitate workshops for students in Minnesota.
