Railside Robotics

Railside Robotics was founded so that Purdue students (and anyone else interested) would have the resources and support to build competition-ready “Battlebot” type robots.

Railside Robotics exists as a way for students to gain hands-on experience in the engineering process by collaborating on something durable and accomplishable. Other contributing reasons for the club’s creation are developing teamwork and management skills, manufacturing skills, school spirit, and, last but not least, because the founders of the club believe that battlebots are fun. Railside Robotics values teamwork, lifelong learning, professional practice, and innovation. 

We would love to give a shoutout to our sponsors for the 2026-2027 academic year: . We wouldn't be able to do what we do without you!
