RoboColumbus-Plus Remote Location Guidelines and Rules Update

The RoboColumbus-Plus competition page has been updated with guidelines detailing how to join this year’s competition from a remote location. DPRG hopes that the many friends and potential friends who can’t travel to the local Dallas competition can join by setting up a remote course and using Google Meet to participate in the fun and challenges of an outdoor rover competition.

The RoboColumbus-Plus rules have been updated to add a new contest category and challenge. Participants now have the option of running their robot in the “robot-planned” category and taking the 3-waypoint challenge. In this challenge, the robot must depend completely on it algorithms to complete the course with only 3 target waypoints. The robot’s owner is not allowed to pre-walk the course during the competition or use additional waypoints besides the 3 given by the judges.

High School robotics team Iron Reign has a long history of building and competing with remarkably interesting and capable robots. Join us this month to see how Iron Reign Robotics is doing with this year’s FTC competition, Ultimate Goal. Be inspired by the results these dedicated High School students produce. Like most DPRG members, you will surely pick up tips, tricks, and ideas along the way. Or bring along your aspiring middle school STEM students to give them ideas…

The meeting will start at 1:00 PM CST (Dallas Time) on Saturday, March 13th.  You can join the meeting:
