RCCR @ STEAMfest 2024

Event Description

RCCR has been invited to the Alabama Science Festival at The Orion Amphitheater in Huntsville Alabama!  

Last year, the Science Festival was split across 2 days and RCCR drew a huge crowd on the first day.  This time STEAMfest is all being combined into a 1 day festival and the new Orion Amphitheater!  We are expecting an even larger audience this year.  Other attractions will include: stage shows, FIRST Robotics Exposition, a dinosaur fosil exhibit, and multiple local buisinesses with STEM activities for everyone.  If you have never been to the Alabama Science Festival, you are missing out!  This is more then just a robot competition, it's attached to a huge festival full of people that just want to celebrate all things STEAM!

Thanks to the many Sponsors that donate to the STEAMfest, this event is free for both competitors and the audience!

There will be foodtrucks and concesion stands at the event.

We are planning to open up the pits and start safety checks at 8am!

The fights will be starting shortly after 10am when the gates open for the public and finishing by 5pm.  

Tables and chairs provided for pits.  Plan to bring extension cords and power strips if needed, I will have a few but not enough for everyone.

This event is open to 1lb and 3lb robots.  If anyone is interested, I can bring a Fairyweight arena as well for Exposition matches.  The arena is 6' x 6', steal floor, and one corner has an Out of the Arena Zone.  SPARC rules apply, no fire weapons.  If have any questions please send an email or contact us through the Rocket City Combat Robots Facebook page.

Newcomer’s welcome and encouraged.
