Competition Plans for 2025
CIRC will host three Bot Boogaloos in 2025! They will be held about 4 months apart. The starting time will be 10:00 AM. The extra time in the afternoons will be used as a Build Session.
Planned dates and events are as follows:

The events may change from the list above based on interest, preparedness, and the season. Some additional events that the club has interest in and may add are:
- Mobile Platform Pull – RC or autonomous yard-wagons pull loads under different conditions
- Line Racing – Head-to-head racing of bots on a course of parallel lines
- Mega Sumo (3 kg)
- Hockey Sumo – Mini sumos on a ring push randomly placed pucks into their respective goals
- Micromouse Wall Maze – Standard sized micromouse. Need to build the course.
We request that competitors pre-register one month beforehand by emailing president@circpeoria.org. The final list of events will be finalized one month before each Boogaloo. The cost to enter will be $10 per bot per event to be paid at check-in. Lunch will be ordered from a local restaurant and a donation jar will be used to cover the cost for those interested. The location will be the clubhouse at Izaak Walton Lake on 725 Seven Hills Road, Metamora, Illinois. Visitors are welcome and there will be no cost to watch.
These competitions will be run with the emphasis on comradery, learning, and the general enjoyment of hobby robotics.
If you have questions or suggestions, email Bruce at president@circpeoria.org.
