Oct. 8 update: Schedule of events added at bottom of this post.
It’s almost here! C&A Robot Factory and Chibots present Fall Chibotica 2012. Fall Chibotica is a robotics showcase and games where robots compete against each other in different events.
New this year! Robot Drag Racing! Two robots race against each other in a small scale version of NHRA drag racing. Each robot must run the length of a racing strip following a line. Other traditional competitions will also be held, such as Mini and LEGO Sumo, Line Following and the crowd pleaser, Line Maze. Join us, bring your robot, talk to other roboticists, share and learn, but above all have a great time!
Get a group together, compete as a team!
