TCCR x CROK @ Maker Faire Tulsa 2024

Tulsa Community Combat Robotics and Combat Robots of Oklahoma is going to be at Maker Faire Tulsa!  After last year’s Maker Faire cancelation, the Faire is coming back bigger than ever in 2024. This is a great opportunity to showcase combat robots to a large audience and generate more interest in the hobby.  The Faire is free to enter for spectators.

Location:  This is an indoor event at the Exchange Center in Tulsa’s Expo Square (4145 E. 21st St. Tulsa, OK 74114).  This is the building directly across the parking lot from the large River Spirit Expo building.

Schedule:

7:00 - Doors open

8:00 - Safety checks start

9:30 - Builder's meeting. You must be checked in before this time

10:00 - Maker faire opens and fights start

5:00 - Fights end

Facilities:  Tables and chairs are provided by the venue.  Bathrooms are onsite.  Electrical outlets may be limited, so it is recommended to bring your own power strips and extension cords.  Pit space is limited, so we are asking each team to only use half of a provided folding table.

Arena:  The arena is 8 ft x 8 ft x 2 ft tall with a wooden floor.  There is a seam in the middle of the floor, but we do our best to minimize it.

Robots:  Robots must meet the SPARC Robot Construction Specifications.  In addition, no fire weapons or ICE (Internal Combustion Engines).  A LiPo charging bag must be used when charging your batteries.  Weapon locks and sharp edge covers must be used while the bot is outside of the arena.

Weight Classes: Plastic Ants (1 pound plastic only), and Ants (1 pound). Once the tournaments are over, or during any dead time, we will hold grudge matches and rumbles for those that are interested.

Builders are only allowed to drive a maximum of 2 robots per driver per weight class.

See weight class details for number of entry slots.  Registered robots have priority over waitlisted robots on event day.  There is no guarantee that a waitlisted robot will be able to fight in the tournament the day of the event.

Format: We're planning on running 4 rounds of swiss (where bots with like records fight eachother) and then running a tiebreaker fight for 2nd and 3rd place. 

Fees: The Maker Faire is free to enter and spectate everything going on.  The registration for the tournament is $20 if you're in the Ant and Beetle division, and $10 if you are in the Plastic Ant division. Payment will be handled at the event.

Prizes:  1st, 2nd, and 3rd place finishers in each weight class will receive a trophy.
