New Society Instatement
Mission
• Illinois Robotics Organization serves to bring together students of different disciplines at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign to partake in the education and research of the multi-disciplinary field of Robotics. IRO's main purpose is to be an organization without a particular departmental home; a middle ground for all engineers and non-engineers who are interested in Robotics.
On Campus
• Projects• Workshops• Seminars/Lectures

More Info
• Plan to succeed: In the 2009 competition, our Bioware team received a silver medal and our Software-Tools team received a gold medal and won Best Software Tool. This year both teams are shooting for a gold.
• Why you want to join Engineering Council: Synthetic Biology is an engineering discipline, and it would be encouraging to members to be a part of the engineering community at UIUC. We would also enjoy being able to participate in events like E-night and the opportunity to receive funding.
