PART PLANT PALOOZA

Updated date: August 18 , 2024

We will be running our first official open event at the Placer Robotics Center in the new Insect area.

This is meant to be a low stress and casual event.  We will be limiting and enforcing one robot per builder. 

Address: 643 Vernon Street, Roseville, CA.   Parking available at the near by Vernon Street Parking garage. The event is indoors - plenty of pit space, spectating viewing may be limited.

All are welcome to spectate, and the event is all ages. 

The field will be max of 16 robots.  The current limit is 8 as we await new local builders to get their robots setup in RCE. Update: We may be able to add a few more robots to the event.  Please add your bot to the wait list and we will confirm by August 14.
