ROBOT magazine articles range from small news briefs to major feature stories and reviews. Feature articles are typically 600 to 2,000 words in length, but this is just a guideline. Please see the About ROBOT magazine page for a description of the scope of our content.

Vibrant, dynamic photography and compelling graphics are desirable, and must be provided at a minimum resolution of 300 pixels per inch at the physcial size the image is to be printed. Digital photos should be delivered in untouched format, right out of the camera (high res jpg or tif preferred, although we accept other formats).

Sample code, schematics and line drawings are typically published on our website and referenced in the print magazine. Extensive technical discussion (e.g., of a robot build) can also be published online to complement the story in the magazine.

ROBOT magazine strives to attain the highest professional standards in terms of clarity and accuracy, but the process by which we accept proposed articles or assign projects is informal. If you are interested in contributing to ROBOT, please contact Tom Atwood at toma@botmag.com. We welcome new contributors!
