We are thrilled to share that we won the 3v3 confrontation and placed third in the 1v1 confrontation at RoboMaster North America 2023, making us the three-time consecutive North American champions! Despite the many challenges we faced throughout the competition, we persevered and held an undefeated match record, not losing a single game in the 3v3 confrontation.

ARUW is incredibly grateful to our wonderful sponsors, whose support made our win possible by providing us with the resources we needed to succeed. We are excited to build on our work from this season and continue to innovate as we face new and exciting challenges in the upcoming year. We can’t wait to compete at RoboMaster North America in 2024!

Two-Time Robomaster North America Champions!

We are overjoyed to share that ARUW is once again the Robomaster North America champion! This year, the team took home the championship title in both the standard RMUL competition (3v3) and the Standard Confrontation (1v1). Throughout the entire weekend at Texas A&M University, we managed to hold an undefeated match record in both tournament brackets, and our 3v3 team did not drop a single game all weekend.

ARUW is incredibly grateful to our sponsors, who made it possible for us to continue to compete in these competitions through their generous support. The team is very excited for all of the new challenges and innovations in the upcoming year! We hope to see everybody again at Robomaster competitions in 2023!

Alumni Spotlight: Pico Premvuti

For ARUW’s first two-part alumni spotlight, we are pleased to present Pico Premvuti. Pico was one of the founding members of ARUW when it was first started in 2015, and he was an instrumental part to the engineering team as a lead in his second year. Pico studied as an Electrical Engineer, yet he stated that ARUW allowed him to expand his skills in CAD and computer vision. While Pico was a part of the club, his favorite memories revolved around traveling to China for the RoboMaster competition. His favorite part of the trip was staying in the team’s rented apartment that also functioned as a workspace for the robots.

After his studies, Pico's first few jobs were in the Seattle area working on embedded systems, computer vision, and control systems for robotics startups. He is currently in his second year working at a robotics startup in Tokyo. Pico said that one of the most valuable skills that ARUW taught him was giving himself the space to learn, as he believes it is one of the most important skills an engineer can have. At his current position, Pico said that he is constantly going through the process of trying new ideas and prototypes to continue building his skills. The skills Pico learned during his time with ARUW have transferred well into the workforce.

When Pico was asked what he would tell current members, he mentioned to keep trying new things and don’t be afraid to break things. “If you fry a circuit board or break some component, don’t worry about it since breaking things is an important part of the development process” Pico stated.

Pico believes that some of the greatest minds within the University of Washington are a part of the team. All of his opportunities were through connections that he made as a member, and he encourages current members to take advantage of the team’s network. Pico also noted that ARUW members are well prepared to enter the workforce thanks to both the technical and professional skills they learn. ARUW wishes Pico good luck in his endeavors and thanks him for all of the essential work that he did as a founding member.
