has been a long-time sponsor of EMU5 and we could not be more grateful! We’re especially proud to be supported by a business that is Melbourne-born and based, like ourselves.

We also had the privilege of touring ANCA CNC Machine’s headquarters earlier this year, during which we got to go behind the scenes to see the building and development process of their CNC Machines. The experience was insightful and worthwhile, and we thoroughly enjoyed chatting and learning from experienced industry professionals.

One of the highlights of being a competitive robotics team is being able to develop relationships with professionals and industry leaders.

We’d like to thank our amazing sponsors , , and for their support, which has been fundamental to our ability to compete as well as to run events and workshops for students!
