Intro to Combat Robotics
Combat robots are known for their destruction! The aim of the game is to make the most powerful robot and destroy the other robot before they destroy yours!
Already Did Combat at Mines?
Check out our Combat Robotics Team to see how to move forward from the introductory program!
How it Works
The introduction to combat robotics event is held once a year, starting early in the fall semester and ending around October or November. This event is open to all those new to combat robotics.
You‘ll be assigned a mentor and team to help you make your first robot, equipped with an electronics kit and team budget. This competition is mainly a mechanical challenge, without explicit need for coding as the robots are piloted via a remote control system. However, there are still options for those well versed in computer science, making bots like “melty brains” or optimizing your ESCs.
If you miss the meeting where everyone is assigned teams you can still compete! Reach out to the person in charge of the program to let them know, and they‘ll do their best to put you on any empty spots within the teams.

The Intro to Combat Robotics program is made to introduce Mines students to combat! If you have already done this program once, you are not able to go through it again. Fear not, you can still build, with our Combat Robotics Team.
