About US
We are Alabama Astrobotics, a robotics team at The University of Alabama that competes each year in NASA's Robotic Mining Competition at Kennedy Space Center in Cape Canaveral, FL. In addition to designing, building, and testing our robot throughout the year, we coordinate and participate in several outreach efforts with the University of Alabama/Tuscaloosa community. Our goal is to ignite a feeling of excitement within K-12 students for pursuing STEM careers.

Halloween Fun
The children of the RISE school attended a fun trick-or-treating session at H.M. Comer on the University of Alabama campus. Our team created a candy off-loading belt to fill the kids' buckets with loads of treats!
