Schedule
Build nights are held every week on Thur in the PSC (EB 107). Build Nights are optional except safety inspections.
Build Nights are a great time to work with your team. There are lab tables, soldering irons, LiPo chargers, and test boxes. Club Leadership will be there to answer any questions you have.
All Build Nights have open lab time. Some build nights are unique:

12 | 4/3/25 | Final Safety Inspection |
Safety Inspections
Safety night is where you can get your bot officially checked-in for battle! We make sure you are following the safety guidelines.
Attendance is required to compete. You do not need to have a completed bot for the first safety check! Bring what you have (if anything), and we will tell you which safety items you still need to pass. You can leave once your team is accounted for.
Don't wait until the last minute! Many teams don't pass safety the first time. Use the first safety check as a buffer!
All bots must pass safety in order to compete. For non-BYU teams, see the Discord for ways to pass safety remotely, or email byucombatrobotics@byu.edu
