What's New to the Creek?

AIR CONDITIONING & IT’S ALL IN ONE BUILDING

The biggest complaints from last year were about the temperature and location. This year we have gained access to Campbell University Gore Arena where they host Basketball, Volleyball, Wrestling, And other events.

Event Rules 

SPARC Rules V1.4 will be the standard format used, however, any rules changes will be written in the space below and any future changes will be sent out to competitors through email. Rules will become locked 2 months before the day of the tournament so that teams will have proper time to adjust if needed. 

1) Time

This year we are going to implement 2-minute rounds so that robots can be more aggressive, controlling, and entertaining

 

2) Plastics

The plastic class is meant to encourage builders who may not have access to metalworking tools, or who would like a new challenge. As such, we ask that competitors conform to the spirit of the rules and not try to loophole them. Competitors found to be doing this may be disqualified, or otherwise be forced to bear some Terrible Consequences.

Allowed materials:

Not Allowed materials:

Please contact us if there is a material you would like to check!

3) Brackets

This tournament will be a double-elimination bracket with no chance for a true second.

Seeds will be chosen at random and there may be a chance of first-round byes depending on the # of competitors

Competitors will have 20 minutes from the end of their matches to be ready to compete in their next match

 4) Wall Pinning Rules

Additional information

Campbell Universities “La Chancla” and “Ankle Biter” will be competing in this event

To keep fairness in the competition any judge's decision will go against Campbell bots and will result in a win for the opponent
