Applications are closed until January 2027. You can still join the Discord server now. When applications reopen, start at the Join page, then complete Stage 1, sit a short team interview and finish Stage 2 alongside probation.

How the team is organized

Racerbot has two working teams: the Autonomous Team, which develops the self-driving software, and the Tech Team, which handles electronics, tools and parts, 3D modelling, testing, calibration and tuning, firmware and club IT. Marketing works alongside both, and an Executive Board of seven offices oversees the club. The full roster is on Our Teams.

What is expected of you

Member expectations live in the governing instruments, not on this page. Start with Article II (Principles and Commitments) and Article III (Membership) of the Constitution. Both are in drafting and not in force. Before working in the lab, read the lab safety documents.
