Just finished an awesome Duke Virtual Activities Fair! We met lots of freshmen who are interested in robotics -- they're going to make great additions to the team. Many thanks to Duke Groups for sponsoring this event as well as to all the people that made it possible.

We'll be hosting our info session on next Tuesday (August 25th) 7-8 PM over Zoom. If you're interested in joining Duke Robotics, send an email over to [email protected], and we'll get you added to the email list. That's how we'll be distributing Zoom links to our various events and meetings 😀.

In a normal world, we would have been arriving home today after a week of sleepless nights, boatloads of teamwork, and tons of fun in San Diego at . But even though the in-person competition was canceled, we still created a journal paper and video for the online component, which we’re really excited to show you now. We can’t wait to see what the next year will bring. Here's to RoboSub 2021!
