Wildcat Robotics | Sonoran Showdown

On March 23, 2024, The University of Arizona's Wildcat Robotics will be holding the inaugural Sonoran Showdown!

We're happy to welcome the The Synshop and The Mighty Pong to announce and broadcast our event!  Our arena is brand new, with fresh lexan for you to scratch up.  Stop by, watch some robots break each other, and grab some lunch at Popeyes across the street.  It'll be a good time!  Spectators as well as builders are welcome!

There will be double-elimination Beetleweight (3lb.) and (non-plastic) Antweight (1lb.) tournaments.  If there are less than 6 registrations for either weight class, we will do a Round Robin tournament.  There will be prize money for the winners, sponsored by SendCutSend!

Event details:

 - one 6'x6'x3' enclosed lexan arena with MDF floor (no pit, as of now)

 - Standard safety measures and rules, see https://sparc.tools/

 - Folding tables with power plugs will be provided

 - Please bring your own tools

We have a suggested registration / donation fee of $15, but nothing obligatory.
