Robomaster Robotic

Texas A&M University's premier robotics team, Texas Aimbots, focuses on engineering, teamwork, and innovation. Participating in a yearly competition, TAMU RoboMasters competes against universities worldwide. Through hands-on experience and collaboration, members are provided with invaluable skills in robotics, programming, and problem-solving while fostering a passion for cutting-edge technology. Each year, three robots are developed for the RoboMaster North American Competition held in various locations in the United States. The Standard Robot shoots 17mm projectiles and serves as the main offensive robot. The Sentry Robot is a fully autonomous ground robot that moves and shoots at enemy robots using computer vision. The Hero robot shoots golf ball sized projectiles that do extra virtual damage to bases and enemy robots. Each year, three additional robots are developed for the RoboMaster International Competition held in Shenzhen, China. The Engineer Robot collects "minerals" to submit for virtual currency used to buy upgrades and ammunition during the match. The Aerial Robot is a ~5ft. Drone with a turret mounted at the bottom, which can be called in using currency as air support. The Dart Robot System launches missiles at a 12x6" target 80 ft. away. Robomaster Robotic was founded in the fall semester of 2018 by Computer Engineering student Zimo Ding (20'), with advisors Dr. Denzhen Song and Professor Stravros Kalafatis.
