LVBots is planning our next autonomous robotics competition.
Like the last, this competition is open to anyone interested in robotics. There is no charge for entrants, or spectators.
We expect to have all levels of robot builders participating, from beginners to experts.
If you have a robot to compete in any of the events, we would love to see it.
If you are new to robotics, or just want to see what robot builders in Las Vegas have been working on, please join us.
We will be having 6 Robot Events:
- Mini Sumo - robots will try to push their opponents out of a round ring.
- Line following - robots race each other around a track made with a 1/2" black line.
- Line maze - robots will navigate a maze made of black tape to find the shortest path to the goal.
- Pool racing - robots will race around a course, avoiding other bots.
- Dead reckoning - robots will try to "bee-line" back to the start after following a black line leading them away.
- Walking - See who can build the fastest walking robot.
The rules for the different events are available here:
