Robot Fighting League is a Robot Wars style event, three times a year, open to anybody, who wants to try building fighting robots!

See the rules on our website

We have a 5-a-side and 11-a-side football team in the university league. We also have hockey training sessions and friendly matches (since there’s no hockey league). We are currently working on having a dodgeball team.

To get more information follow the ShockSoc Sports facebook page.

We run highly successful monthly socials, like our freshers Otley Run, or our end of exam socials. Exact calendar of all our events are coming soon.

We host open lab session every week, in one of the ELEC labs. (Precise time and place to be announced) This allows members to catch up on their university projects, or experiment with their own ideas. This space also holds regular workshops, mainly centered around Robot Fighting League.

Although mostly intended for first years, we welcome any member, regardless of year. All we ask from higher year students is that they are willing to help others with their projects.

We organise larger trips twice a year; previous locations include locations like CERN and Geneva. Further details to be announced.

We are also working on smaller, local trips.

Membership costs just £7 for the whole year and includes discount to our events, socials and trips and free sign-up to our sports teams. It also comes with a wristband that proves your membership.
