The Robotics Club at UC Davis was rebooted in 2010 after a long hiatus. The club is now actively participating in robotics competitions, welcoming new members, new ventures, and new leaders. There are currently over 100 members from a wide variety of majors, engineering and non-engineering alike. The club has commandeered a former geology lab/classroom in the Physics Building and made it into a giant project space equipped with plenty of tools.
The club's competitions so far:
The 2011 Robogames: Built two autonomous sumo robots (3kg weight class).
Over the summer of 2011, the club has been working to design an autonomous quadrotor (like a helicopter, but with four propellers) to communicate with a ground-based robot called iMobot being developed in the Integration Engineering Lab, by club advisor Prof. Harry Cheng. There are several possible competitions for a UAV.
Contact the webmaster to recieve club communications. Look on the website for meeting dates, announcements, and information on how to get involved in the different projects going on.
If you have heard of a robotics competition that you would love to participate in, or just want to build a really cool robot, the robotics club will get the word out, and support you with the funds, project space, and parts you need.
The officers for the 2011-2012 academic year are:
Kevin Taylor, President - kevtaylor at ucdavis.edu
