Bruce at will be opened once we make a final decision in mid-May. If you are mailing in an entry, email me so we can anticipate your robot(s). The final decision will be made Saturday morning between the organizers and contestants. We will have the indoor events when rain is most expected and the RoboMagellan will be held outdoors when rain is least expected. The order of events will be weather dependent. Contestant check in is from 9:00 AM to 9:40 AM. The competition will start around 10:00 AM and finish in the early afternoon. Note that College Drive is a one way road going counter clockwise around the campus. It has worked out well to host it there, so we’ll do it again. We hope to again have it at Illinois Central College in East Peoria, Illinois, in room 212/213 of the Academic Building. It will be similar to our past events with only slight modifications.
