DPRG held its 29th Roborama competition on May 24, 2025. The competition was brisk, with several outstanding performances. A new club record was set in Four Corners by Scott Gibson who had a “start to end” difference of 0 inches. In the past, several competitors have had “start to end” distances of less than 1/2-inch, but this is the club’s first zero distance. Scott also dominated in the mini-Sumo contest. A new contest, Barrel Racing, was successfully run.
On April 26, 2025, as part of Dallas Maker Space’s open house DPRG demonstrated robots. It was also the return of “Big Robie”, DPRG’s 10-foot mascot robot, after a total refurbishment by a team of club members. The exhibit was well attended by visitors, and everyone had a good time.
