The Ursaworks Robotics Club at Washington University in St. Louis secured a second-place finish at the 2024 Midwest RoboMaster Competition.
The club represented the McKelvey School of Engineering as it battled teams from host school Purdue University, the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, the Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology and Pennsylvania State University.
The newest team in the arena with about a year of experience, the 12-person WashU squad only lost one match, against Virginia Tech.
“Our team overcame a lot of obstacles,” said Mark Quan, an electrical engineering major, Ursaworks founder and president of Ursaworks Robomaster Club.
The team is now preparing for three-on-three contests at the RoboMaster North America Competition, held later this year in Boulder, Colo.
