Public Relations
The Public Relations Team is responsible for the team’s public activities. We speak to companies and alumni and engage in public outreach programs. We educate younger students who are interested in STEM fields at S&T and around Missouri. The PR team is also the team’s fund raising and social event planning team.
PR Lead Austin Renwick can be contacted about the PR Team at ar8k4@mst.edu

Making the Transition: Underwater Robotics Fully Moved into SDELC
The Underwater Robotics Team is now completely moved into the Missouri S&T Student Design and Experimental Learning Center, SDELC for short. This change was long overdue, and with the recent team re-brand, it was an obvious choice to relocate. For years, the Robotics Design Team (now the Underwater Robotics Team) had used a personal space […]
A New Vision – Robotics Gets an Upgrade
For years the Robotics team have discussed using visual media to reach out to our supporters, in the forms of videos and live streams. Enabling experienced members to share their process and insight to the design process will engage sponsors, alumni, and prospective members alike. The biggest obstacle thus far has been obtaining a […]

New Robot Drives Anywhere Without Turning
Though we obviously have a few big robots we’ve built for competitions, we at Missouri S&T’s Robotics Competition Team now have a much smaller addition. Our new pint-sized robot, which we’ve given the name Micro Prime (or μPrime), uses an advanced drive mechanism called swerve drive. Basically, this means that it can immediately go in […]
