History
2025-26:
Triton Robotics successfully competed at ARCC 2026 at Purdue University. We improved our suspension design, refactored our electronics boards, and developed navigation using LiDAR-based localization. Thank you to all the sponsors and members who made this possible.
2024-25:
This year, Triton Robotics successfully hosted the 24-25 RoboMaster competition. We successfully deployed computer vision, reintroduced carbon fiber parts and suspension, and had one of TR’s best showings in years. In the photo on the right, you can see our members who helped us attain this victory and make hosting the competition a great success!
2023-24:
Triton Robotics travelled to Colorado to compete in another RoboMaster competition. This year was focused on updating our current robots and working on building a greater sense of community outside of robotics. Triton Robotics returned to doing outreach and worked on getting company sponsorships.
2022-23:
This was one of the most monumental years for Triton Robotics: 501(c)(3) status was obtained and Triton Robotics officially became a non-profit student organization; complete new redesigns of the robots were made; and the non-technical teams were created. In the photo to the right, you can see our members wearing the new jerseys at the University of Washington.
2021-22:
After the pandemic, Triton Robotics continued to grow and become one of the largest engineering project teams on campus. During this year, Triton Robotics tried to expand into RMUC with the drone, engineer, and dart sub-team; however, budget issues proved to be too significant.
2019-21:
After the founding members left, COVID-19 happened and made it difficult for progress to be made. Members were forced to work online and competition ceased. The RoboMaster North American community decided to host its very first RMUL NA competition in Texas A&M during the summer of 2021, where Triton Robotics competed again for the first time in years.
2017-18:
Triton Robotics was founded in the Winter of 2017 by a group of undergraduate students with the hopes of creating a platform and community for robotics at UC San Diego.
Aspiring to participate in RoboMaster, an international robotics competition hosted by DJI (Dai-Jang Innovations) in Shenzhen, China, the founding members went through the initial challenges of establishing a RoboMaster team and were able to qualify and attended their first RoboMaster Competition in 2018.
