After months and months of prepping, ARVP finally had the pleasure of unveiling our latest robot, Arctos, to our sponsors and community! With a presentation detailing what has been in the works to get to this day, to a live demo of Acrtos doing autonomous tasks, and pre-qualifying for RoboSub 2023 all on the same day! Thank you to our members for working endlessly to move this team forward and share your learnings with the community!

ARVP welcomes back Lancôme's robotics club for another live demo! This year they get to see our new robot, Arctos in action! Teaching them what kind of systems and environments we use to get Arctos working. Letting them have a go at remotely controlling the robot and doing some barrel rolls through the gate, with some demonstrations of our early autonomy progress on Arctos!

ARVP started off the new year with a solid first community pool test; partnering with Kinsmen Sports Centre, who graciously allowed us to book their deep tank every Saturday to test Arctos! These weekly tests are open to the community to come watch and engage with our team to learn more about the club and robotics!

In our Winter Term, ARVP reached out to one of our local high schools to teach aspiraring young students about robotics and autonomy with our TIE fighter bot, Auri which helped us place 4th at RoboSub 2022! Hopefully giving them a taste of what they can do with their own robotics club!

Early in the school semester, ARVP got invited to Copperstone Technologies -- a Canadian-based engineering firm specializing in design, production and operation of robots -- for a tour and presentation insight on the processes of their work! Our members enjoyed a long day of learning and hope to come visit again!

Every year, ARVP participates in our annual University's Clubs Fair! We ran a booth and small BBQ on campus grounds, followed by an overview presentation of the club's workings, and what students can learn and get out of it by joining! Hoping to engage our community with robotics!
