The Gateway Campus 2320 Renaissance Blvd. Sturtevant, WI 53177
Robotics teams will compete in four events: a design portfolio ( poster & oral presentation), a time trial, a timed task course and a sumo wrestling event. Please visit the rules page for a complete description of the event. Robot kits can be ordered through Lynxmotion at a cost of approximately $520.00 per kit, or through Vex at a cost of approximately $300 per kit if needed. If you are a first time participant, please contact Pat Hoppe to be sure you purchase the correct kit. Kits from previous years may be used. Parts can be ordered directly from Lynxmotion or Vex. Bots designed using the Vex kits and/or parts other than the Lynxmotion kits will compete in the Freestyle division. See the rules for more information. The Freestyle bot will compete in parallel Sumo Wrestling competitions. They will compete in the same Design Portfolio, time trial, and timed task competitions as the Lynxmotion Bots. This category is meant to give the teams an option of extreme creativity.
