welcome to husky robotics

Husky Robotics is a Registered Student Organization (RSO) at the University of Washington building a Mars Rover to compete in the international Rover Challenge Series. In 2019, we placed 2nd in the world, outscoring teams from Shanghai to Warsaw. In 2021, we placed 3rd overall in the Virtual University Rover Challenge, with a perfect score in extreme delivery and traversal. In 2022, we again took 2nd at the Canadian International Rover Challenge, with a perfect score in dexterity! We continued this streak in 2023, placing 2nd yet again at the Canadian International Rover Challenge, this time with the highest score in the Land Speculation task! Most recently we placed 3rd at CIRC 2024.
