What is ARC Robotics?

The ARC Robotics Championship is a university-level robotics competition where teams of student engineers design manually or autonomously controlled robots for head-to-head combat in the 1v1 Competition, the 3v3 Competition, and the Engineering Challenge, launching 17 mm and 42 mm projectiles in an attempt to disable opposing team while protecting their own base.
