Red Robot 2025 - Robotics Hackathon

When: Friday, November 7 5:00 pm - Sunday, November 9, 2025 5:00 pm

Where: In person, Room TBD

Are you looking to explore robotics but don’t know how to start?

Are you interested in what a hardware hackathon is?

Red Robot 2025 is a beginner-oriented hardware hackathon consisting of building a robot to complete a set of challenges.

In teams of 5 people of your choosing, you’ll be given a robot base, access to raw materials, Roboclub’s fabrication resources, and access to Red Robot mentors (including CMU grad students and engineers from the industry). This hackathon was created to provide students with a fun and hands-on introduction into the world of robotics, and we highly encourage freshmen and sophomores to attend.

We’ll also have workshops and training sessions throughout the event, including on Arduino programming, SolidWorks, laser cutting, and 3D printing. And of course, plenty of opportunities to meet new friends while enjoying the food provided throughout the competition. Roboclub’s corporate sponsors will also be at the event, so it’s a great opportunity to network if you’re interested in internships.

If this sounds at all interesting to you, please visit the Red Robot website for more information on how to sign up! Don’t worry if you do not have team members in mind, there will be a mixer at the beginning of the competition to help you find other attendees to create a team.

If you’re an upperclassman with significant experience with robotics, electronics, or programming; and would like to be a mentor or volunteer for the event, please reach out. Mentors will receive special mentor swag, free food, opportunities to interact with our sponsors, and the infinite gratitude of the club.
