Unibots turns classroom knowledge into a complete engineering challenge. Students make decisions, solve problems, adapt under pressure, and learn from teams across the UK.
Enable accessible robotics
Help keep entry and attendance free while supporting the equipment and infrastructure students need.
Build meaningful connections
Share your work through talks, event presence, judging, volunteering, and conversations with teams.
Your support in action
Back the moments where learning becomes real
Arena materials, venues, prizes, travel-ready equipment, and event delivery all shape the experience students take away from Unibots.

Student impact
What participants take from Unibots
Testimonials adapted from post-event student interviews.
"Resilience was the biggest learning experience. Our robot kept breaking, so we made changes, adapted, and kept going."
"It was cool seeing simple solutions work. Everyone was solving the same problem, but in so many different ways."
"There was a lot of fun talking to people from different universities and seeing how everyone approached the problem differently."
Support with your time
Help make the event happen
Not every contribution has to be financial. Volunteers welcome teams, keep matches moving, support refereeing, share expertise, and create the atmosphere students remember.
