Event Description
- MRCA and TNRL are excited to come together for this crossover event!
- Tables and chairs will be provided, but bring extension cords if needed. Doors will be open at 8:00 am, competition will start at 9:30 Central time.
- Please refer to SPARC Rules, if you have questions about rules or reach out to Jason Rogers at Backwoods Combat Robotics
- We will be using a 6x6x4 arena made from 1/2in polycarbonate and additional ½ in x12in poly toe board with seamless steel floor for all classes, with negative pressure and external ventaliation. Unlimited magnets are allowed.
- We do plan to have a food truck on site for lunch, but coolers for food and drinks are welcomed.
- We are setting up registration as a waitlist so that we can make sure to have representation from both groups.
- We will have 32 ants, 32 beetles, and 8 fairies
- Henry Horton State Park is about 10 minutes south and has hotels and cabins available if you need a place to stay. They have a campground as well. Their online registration often shows they are booked, but most times if you call they have availablity. If you have a camper and want to stay here, please let Jason or Jenna Rogers know ahead of time.
- This will be a TNRL qualifying event. The top 4 ant weight robots will qualify for the TNRL finals. The finals will be hosted here, tentatively in November.
- We will be running a swiss style competition with four rounds for this event. This will guarantee that everyone gets to compete four times. We will then take the top bots and do a single elimination from there.
Thank you to our partnership with Palm Beach Bots.
