New club, all skill levels
We're building from scratch — first-timers and veteran builders sit at the same table. No application, no portfolio, just curiosity.
Sign up on Rubric →ANU Robotics & RC Club
We build robots. You can too.
A student club for anyone into robotics and remote-controlled engineering — from a first CAD sketch to a bot on a competition floor. No prior experience required, just curiosity and a willingness to solder something.
Workshops, builds, and competition goals
- Workshops
- Hands-on CAD and 3D-printing sessions — design something, then print it.
- RC excursions
- Organised trips out to local RC tracks to run what we've built.
- Showcases
- Regular project showcases to demo builds and find collaborators.
- Campus racing
- Mini racing competitions run right here on campus.
Longer-term, we're chasing competition floors — RoboCup, F1TENTH, VEX Robotics. Battle Bots isn't a someday goal, though — we co-run Canberra BattleBots with UC Robo right now: 150g antweight combat robots, workshops and starter kits provided, an exhibition match and a main competition day each year.
Industry trips overseas
Alongside workshops and campus builds, we run international trips to see how robotics and RC engineering work at industry scale:
- Japan
- Robotics company and RC shop visits.
- China
- Manufacturing lines, plus DJI and Tencent.
- New Zealand
- A visit to Auckland's "Endgame" team.

Autonomous racing needs ROS, Python, C++, computer vision, SLAM, or real-time control experience — bring whichever one you've got.
