Penn Aerial Robotics (Penn AiR) is student-led team for the development of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and robots. The club aims to provide students with the resources to construct, develop and test their own UAVs, travel to and compete at inter-collegiate competitions, and to connect with people who share this same passion. For the 2023 season, we will be building two aircraft to compete at SAE Aero Design East in March/April 2024.

Question: Can you be considered for both Mechanical and Software? - John D'Ambrosio
Yes, but please keep in mind the additional time commitment needed to contribute to both teams.
You are welcome to apply to both teams and choose which team to join once in the club if you feel that you will only have time for one.

Question: Can graduate students participate, and have they in the past? - Anonymous
Graduate students can definitely participate and have been on the team in previous semesters. However, they are not allowed to vote in board elections because this is technically an undergraduate club. We also meet on weekends which has been an obstacle for some grad students who don't live near campus.

Question: How much programming do you need to know to join? Is it okay if you only know the basics? - Anonymous
While programming experience is useful for the software team, it is absolutely not a requirement for joining. Many of our members had no coding experience upon joining, but they were eager to learn throughout the semester. This is expected to be new material. We are looking for hardworking individuals who will take the initiative to do the research and learn, not know it all coming in.

Question: Do you have to be in SEAS to join - Pavan Iyengar
Nope! Anyone interested in robotics is welcome to apply. Our team and even our board includes students from across the university. What we're really looking for is dedicated hardworking members, not people in specific majors.
