Astrobotics is a design team based out of the Joseph F. Ware Advanced Engineering Laboratory that competes in the NASA Robotic Mining Competition. We are a senior design team for mechanical, electrical, and computer engineering. The team is currently comprised of 19 members: 13 seniors and 6 underclass volunteers. If you are a student at Virginia Tech and are interested in volunteering with team.

The engineers operate on a one-year design cycle, designing and fabricating the robot in-house at Virginia Tech’s Ware Lab. The engineers are organized into two sub-teams; mechanical design and autonomy.

The team participates in multiple STEM based outreach activities throughout the year with a focus on hands-on activities. If you are interested in working with Astrobotics for an event.
