Student teams will build and program robots to compete against each other. Conference and contest registration are required.

Student team members for both contests must register for the conference, and each team must be accompanied by a registered faculty coach who is willing to act as a contest coordinator or judge.

Student teams will compete in a capture-the-flag competition. Official contest rules are now available, as maintained by Contest Directors, Dr. Mark Fienup and Tom Buck, for more information. Each team must register for the contest prior to the deadline of March 16, 2018

Thanks to the Digi-Key corporation for their generous sponsorship of the robotics competition.
