Auburn Robotics Club (ARC)
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.
