Competiton Teams

Check out all of our competition teams, all of the teams are free to join and open to anyone.

Intro To Combat Robotics

The Intro to Combat Robotics competition is a great way for new club members to learn the fundamentals about how the club operates, the manufacturing/design resources on campus while being mentored by an experienced club member. Open to every major and experience level!

Combat Robotics

Already have experience with combat robotics at Mines and want to build more? This is the team for you! Receive funding from the club to help build your own beetle weight (3lb) or smaller robot! The Mines Robotics Club both hosts and travels to competitions to compete in.

MATE ROV

Want to create an underwater rover that completes tasks with driver control? The MATE ROV team is for you! This robot is built to simulate real world applications for underwater ROVs in a game that changes every year. 

VEXU

Are you looking for a competition based game scored on what tasks you can complete in a set amount of time while a different team works against you? VexU might be the best fit for you! This game is similar to FTC, FRC, or VRC!

Rival

Rival is a new game, and not just to us at Mines! Often thought of as a happy medium between VexU and Combat Robotics, this game has you compete with and against others with a robot that you build with self selected parts. The games will change every year, so be ready to come up with new ideas!

Space Grant

Have you ever wondered how rovers navigate unknown terrain completely autonomously? This competition teams lets it’s members get an inside perspective. The robot competes in the Space Grant Competition and aims to complete as many courses without human intervention. This is a great team to exercise your coding ability in!

Don’t see everything you Want to?
