Texas A&M University will be hosting RoboMaster North America, a strategic robotics competition founded by Da-Jiang Innovations (DJI), from June 25-27, 2022.
RoboMaster is a seven-versus-seven robotics competition that features a university student’s ability to design robots and meet different criteria to engage with the opposing teams’ robots. The criteria requires that robots are able to launch 17-millimeter projectiles and golf ball projectiles and can pick up field elements.
There will also be robots created by students such as a drone that is able to shoot projectiles while in the air as well as an autonomous robot that uses computer vision and artificial intelligence to track different robots and shoot at them as well.
Texas A&M’s robotics organization, TAMU RoboMasters, will be competing in this competition with their premier robotics team, the Texas Aimbots. The team consists of many engineering students across multiple departments, such as mechanical engineering, computer science and engineering, aerospace engineering and more.
Eighteen universities will be making their way to Aggieland in hopes of taking home first place. Six of the 18 teams are from international universities in Italy and Canada. The University of Texas at Austin will also be attending, continuing the friendly rivalry with Texas A&M.
Watch the competition
The RoboMaster competition will be streamed online, is open to the public and can be attended in person at the Memorial Student Center, in Room 2300. It will begin with two full days of competition on June 25 and 26 from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. The final matches for the top four teams and the award ceremony will be held on June 27 from 10 a.m. to noon.
