RobotX: Battlebots 2009

Imagine being able to conceptualize a machine from thin air, using only a provided list of materials and your wits. Imagine building it with your own hands and ingenuity, all the while strategizing on how your machine could out-maneuver, out-last and ultimately out-battle a rival robot. Now imagine watching your creation methodically and systematically taking out the competition, in the ultimate test of design and engineering.

Welcome to RobotX–an invigorating and fully hands-on initiative within the Faculty of Applied Science and Engineering at the University of Toronto developed to immerse high school students in a week-long, live-in robotics competition to build the best battlebot. To enrich the entire learning process, each team works closely with an Advisor—a mechatronics expert to help you troubleshoot throughout the week.
