2025-2026 Season Recap

This year was a great point of development for CWRUbotix as an organization! Below are updates from each of our competition teams.

NRC Micromouse

This year our Micromouse team did not go to competition, but instead focused on redesigning the robot to reach its smallest size yet, and to directly connect the LIDAR encoders to the board. The next goals are to further develop the robot and ensure competition readiness.

MATE ROV

Our MATE ROV team placed within the top 50% of teams at the world championship, this year in St. Johns, Canada at the Marine Institute of Memorial University of Newfoundland. The team was also awarded the gROVer Award for demonstrating courtesy, kindness and professionalism.

NHRL Combat

Our Combat team had a momentous success last year. Over the course of two semesters, we fully designed, manufactured, and assembled our drum spinner robot, Boreas, which competed at the NHRL May 2026 competition. Our members learned a variety of valuable skills, including CAD, engineering drawings, supply chain management, machining, circuitry, and mechanical and electrical assembly. At the competition, we also identified several areas for design improvement that we plan to address during the 2026-2027 academic year.

Thank you!

Our sponsors are a vital part of our program, as we would not be able to make these robots without them! Looking forward to this upcoming year, we are excited to keep moving forward and go for the gold!
