Battle bot-to-bot at BatSuBot this December
An intensive BatSuBot is coming
The BatSuBot Robotics Competition, now in its third year, represents a collaborative effort orchestrated by Tarek Elderini, Andrew Dahlen, and a dynamic team of organizers of the esteemed College of Engineering & Mines, School of Electrical Engineering & Computer Science. This annual event proudly carries the torch of its inaugural triumph in 2021, promising another exhilarating spectacle.
BatSuBot is a unique fusion of BattleBot and SumoBot robotics competitions, which beckons the creative ingenuity of UND students to conceptualize, construct, and operate robotic contenders with the purpose of competing in a robotic match, expelling their opponent from the arena. Student enthusiasts of robotic technology and innovation are invited to witness this spectacular display of technological prowess and participate if they have what it takes.
