Our main focus at AURA is competiting and with projects running alongside them, there's no shortage of things for members to do!

We compete in the VEX Robotics Competition, Droid Racing Challenge, Robot Soccer and Combat Robotics.

Projects are often on a smaller scale but we have also done larger scale projects, with a highlight being our custom Puma Beatbot replica.

Volunteering is a key part of what we do at AURA.

We primarily provide support to the VEX Robotics High School scene in Auckland but other programs include Robot Olympiad, FLL and we have also visited schools and organisations in the past to teach kids about robotics.

AURA runs the Mini Robot Rumble competition with the generous support of our primary sponsor Vodafone.

Mini Robot Rumble is a Combat Robotics competition for students in New Zealand.

AURA sells kits to teams and provides support, with it all culminating in the competition day, where teams get to test out their bots.
