The College of Engineering presents the V-BOT Robotics Kit, designed for an open architecture approach to robotics education, suitable for students of various levels. Join the excitement of the 2009 Vandals Robotics Challenge, taking place on May 2nd in the Memorial Gym. The V-BOT kit features modular design with snap-fit pieces, facilitating the creation of complex structures while withstanding significant forces. Students can participate in engaging competitions like Sumo, Balloon Raid, and Freeze Tag. Advisors Steve Beyerlein and Joe Law guide this innovative educational experience.
