Welcome to the Comet Robotics at UTD website

We strive to promote robotics in UTD and the Dallas area through outreach, projects and workshops. CRUTD supports all competitive, combat and hobby robotics at UTD. Join our diverse discord community to support our mission, or check out the links on the side bar to read our blog and project pages.

Combat Robotics

Our combat robotics team has history going back to 2004, with Blender our 120lb world championship winning Battlebot. Since the clubs' revival in 2021, we have expanded to dozens of 1lb, 3lb, and 12lb weight class projects. Combat robotics is all about sparks, fire and spilling robot guts. The excitement around the sport is perfect for spreading awareness of robotics. Our combat division also promises something for everyone, with entry level programs and lots of upward mobility.

competitive robotics

Competitive robotics has larger, teamwork-oriented projects. Competitive robotics projects include VEX, Chess Bots, and the University Rover Challenge. Competitive robotics challenges students in fast paced engineering environments to solve real world problems. Working in larger teams on big projects builds on the hard and soft skills students learn in their classes.
