The purpose of the OSU Robotics club is to promote independent supplemental learning to the existing Engineering curriculum. We purchase prizes and materials to build projects and also reserve campus resources for our members.
We invite all majors and engineering disciplines into our membership. Our members participate in international competitions against university and professional teams.
We host both internal projects geared toward the beginner, as well as external projects which encompass all levels of knowledge and skill.

Mailing Lists
OSURC has two mailing lists: osurcmembers@engr.orst.edu and osurcofficers@engr.orst.edu. If you're a member or interested in becoming a member, join the members list. If you have a question or want to get some information distributed to all members, email the officers list. We’ll then be able to answer your question or post the information to the members list immediately. Only officers are authorized to post information to the members list, in order to minimize irrelevant list traffic. This means that if you try to reply to the list on a message you got via osurcmembers, we might not see your post for a week or two.
How to Join OSURC
If you are not currently a member of OSURC or need to update your annual membership, just come to an OSURC workshop, competition, or general meeting and an OSURC officer can get you signed up. Membership costs $10 and lasts for a year. All you need to do is go to a meeting, pay, and get your membership card. If you have any questions or would like to join at a time other than the scheduled events, email: osurcofficers@engr.oregonstate.edu.

Mars Rover Takes 1st!
Oregon State University places 1st in the University Rover Challenge! Out of 400 points we scored 315 (106 points ahead of 2nd place!). We were the only team to find the astronaut and did so in only 3.5 minutes! This is the third year the Rover Team has competed in the competition, and the second year we have won 1st place! Congrats to all of the hard-workers on the Mars Rover Team!

Roboshocked!
Roboshock 2010 ended today with quite the shock as FLL, FRC, and FTC league teams competed Friday, May 28th in the Alumni Center for awards, prizes, and gratitude. Teams competed all day, were given a tour of the OSU campus, and saw demonstrations of the OSURC's best external projects.
Thanks to sponsers, volunteers, teams, and coaches for putting on an awesome Roboshock! Until next year!
