We meet every Wednesday from 6:30 to 8:00 PM in the Super Fab Lab in Kennedy

Welcome to Charlotte Combat Robot Club! Our goal at Charlotte Combat Robot Club (CCRC) is to share our passion for robotics in the most fun and exciting way possible: action-packed and spark-flying combat!

We fight combat robots in a 8ft by 8ft cage made of bulletproof glass. We fight around 5 times per year around the North Carolina robot fighting circuit in museums and colleges. Fights are typically two minures long, and the last robot moving wins. If a match goes to the judges after the two minutes, points are awarded based on damage done, aggression, and control.

Although robots with spinning weapons and sharp edges are dangerous, we are highly committed to the safety of all members of CCRC. We follow nationally accepted safety guidelines for robot combat (SPARC), and club members are trained on safety to ensure the only things being hurt are robots in the ring. Another top priority of CCRC is inclusivity. All UNCC students are welcome regardless of major, experience, race, or sexual orientation. Our goal is to build a community in which everyone is accepted and feels welcome. The club is free to join, and we cover the cost of the robots for all members.

Last year, we hosted a robot fight on campus with 48 unique combat robots and over 2500 estimated audience members during the day! We fought against builders from as far as New Hampshire, as well as the NC State combat robotics team. A robot from UNCC, Skadoosh, placed first in Plastic Antweight with an undefeated record!
