About

What Is Purdue SIGBots?

Purdue SIGBots is Purdue's competitive VEXU robotics club. We design robots, maintain open-source software like PROS, and build a team culture around engineering that has to hold up in real competition. We bring together students across various majors and backgrounds to work together. Some members spend late nights tuning autonomous paths, some machine parts or wire new systems, and others maintain the tooling that teams across VEX depend on every day.
