The MIT Combat Robotics Club (CRC) uses the tagline “build, battle, destroy, repeat,” which is a pretty spot-on description for a club that embraces learning opportunities through destruction.

Since their 2023 reboot, the team has hosted house battles at MIT, competed in the national arena, and forged friendships within the team and wider Combat Robotics community. Read all about their destructive creations via MIT News, and experience a CRC House Battle for yourself at the new Met Warehouse on November 14th.
