Founded in 2007 as the York Univeristy Rover Team (YURT), and restructured in 2013 as the York University Robotics Society (YURS), the society has been a part of York University's community for years. We have sent teams to events such as NASA's Lunabotic Mining Competition at the Kennedy Space Centre in Florida, The Mars Society's University Rover Challenge (URC) in Utah, the Canadian International Rover Challenge (CIRC) in Drumheller, Alberta, and the Centre of Surgical Invention and Innovation (CSII) in Ontario.
