Built by students.
Driven by curiosity.

The UC Davis Robotics Club is a student organization dedicated to immersive robotics engineering — from combat robots to robotic arms. We turn technical curiosity into tangible skills through active design, wiring, and fabrication.

Our Purpose

We strive to give UC Davis students a space to learn, build, and compete in robotics outside the classroom. Every member — regardless of major or experience level — can contribute to a real, working system.

We run hands-on workshops, field competition teams, and collaborate with faculty on research-adjacent projects. Membership is free and open to all students.

Our values

⚙️

Build to learn

Real learning happens when you make something yourself. We prioritize hands-on projects over passive instruction.

🤝

Inclusive by default

No experience required. We pair veterans with newcomers so knowledge flows freely across the club.

🏆

Compete seriously

We enter real competitions and treat them as high-stakes learning opportunities, not just field trips.

🔬

Innovation

We tackle problems that don't have easy answers. This requires complex mechanical systems, custom PCBs, and programming.
