Bot Boogaloo Fall 2019 Announcement
We will host our second Boogaloo of the year, Bot Boogaloo Fall 2019!! It will be similar to our Spring event with the addition of a RoboMagellan contest. The date is set for Saturday, November 9, 2019. We will have it at Illinois Central College in East Peoria, Illinois, in room 212/213 of the Academic Building, same place as last Spring. Parking will be in Lot V. If it is full, Lot C will work well. Note that College Drive is a one way road going counter clockwise.
The competition will start around 10:00 AM and finish in the early afternoon. People can arrive as early as 8:30 AM. Contestant check in is from 9:00 AM to 9:40 AM. The order of events will be weather dependent. We will have the indoor events when rain and/or snow is most expected and the RoboMagellan outdoors when rain and/or snow is least expected. If there is snow, we’ll shovel or get clever or go inside. The final decision will be made Saturday morning.
What is a Bot Boogaloo? Last Spring it was a lot of fun and with the addition of RoboMagellan, it should be better. The events with links to their respective rules are listed below. Two of the events are of our own making.
We will accept mail-in entries. If you are mailing in an entry, email me so we can anticipate your robot(s).
Registration via BuildersDB is closed. Walk ins are welcome Saturday morning during the check in time. Please email me if you plan on entering Saturday morning. It’s not mandatory, but will help us plan and get better organized. president@circpeoria.org
