UQ MARS (Mechatronics and Robotics Society) is a community for anyone with a keen passion for robots!
A student-run society within the University of Queensland, UQ MARS aim to foster the development of the robotics skills of our members. We do this through a variety of extra-curricular activities, including competition teams, support workshops and social events. Membership is open to any UQ student and not just limited to those in the Engineering faculty.
Sam is ok. Her body noticeably twitched at the last microsecond of the video when we brought sushi into the room.
Stay strong during this exam season.
