Purdue SIGBots
We build robots, write open-source software, share what we learn, and run robotics competitions.
SIGBots by the numbers...
What is Purdue SIGBots
Purdue SIGBots is Purdue's competitive VEXU robotics club. We design robots, maintain open-source software like PROS, and build a team culture around engineering that has to hold up in real competition.
We bring together students across various majors and backgrounds to work together. Some members spend late nights tuning autonomous paths, some machine parts or wire new systems, and others maintain the tooling that teams across VEX depend on every day.
Club Initiatives
SIGBots is more than one robot team. The club supports competition, open-source software, community resources, and events that reach beyond Purdue.
Competition
VEXU Teams
We are split into BLRS, BLRS2, and BLRS4, with each group competing at the international level.
Open source
PROS
We maintain PROS, the Purdue Robotics Operating System, and continue building tools used by VEX teams around the world.
Resources

The SIGBots wiki collects guides, documentation, and lessons learned so teams can learn faster and build better.
Outreach
High School Competitions
We help support and organize high school events that strengthen the broader robotics community around us.
