If you love RC vehicle sized autonomous race cars or are interested in learning about autonomous cars on a small scale, RoboRacing is for you! Our RoboRacing team started in 2013. The team initially competed in the [http://robotracing.wordpress.com/ International Autonomous Robot Racing Challenge] (IARRC) competition. Starting in 2016, RoboRacing also competes in [https://avc.sparkfun.com/ Sparkfun’s Autonomous Vehicle Competition (AVC)].

RoboRacing is a competitive robotics team geared towards autonomous racing of small scale automotive platforms. The team started in 2013 and has since built robots to compete in the IARRC competition since the team's inception, as well as the Sparkfun AVC competition since 2016. RoboRacing is additionally planning on competing in the evGrand Prix Autonomous competition in 2020.
  
Our RoboRacing team, being involved in autonomous RC vehicle design, fabrication, and programming, puts its members at the fore front of emerging technology in self driving cars. Each competition has proven a great opportunity for learning everything from robust mechanical design to advanced programming skills that could be applied to diverse engineering applications.
