Purpose:

At Auburn Robotics Club, our mission is to provide Auburn students with the opportunity to gain knowledge of robotics through practical application and become involved in efforts to support & promote the increase of quality STEM Education in Alabama and surrounding states. We host the Auburn VEX U Team and the Auburn Combat Robotics Team, which allow students to implement newly-learned skills in a fast-paced competition setting. We also provide members with STEM Outreach and Volunteering Activities through numerous events we host or help out with throughout the year.
