Bot Wars is a competition at UB that is held during E - Week in which all the engineering clubs build a battle bot and compete against each other. The competition is very similar to those seen on TV. The annual competition is usually held on a Friday and it takes place in the Student Union.

2007 Design

This years newly designed robot introduced some never before seen design concepts to UB Bot Wars. The robot cost over $1,200 to build and it wouldn't have been possible without the help of our sponsors. This years sponsors specific to our bot wars project included Fisher Price, GM, Sagentia, Sunstone Circuits, and a fifth sponsor that wishes to remain anonymous. We thank them for their support.
