Brawls & Boogaloos
CIRC has hosted some of the largest hobby robotics competitions in the country featuring RC Combat, autonomous Sumo, Line Following, and more. This page contains information about past & future Bot Brawls & Bot Boogaloos including pictures, video, competition results, and more.
In the past, CIRC held RC Combat and autonomous Sumo, Line Following, Line Maze Solving, and other events together. Due to increased interest in RC Combat, it was determined best to separate events into different competitions. The Bot Brawl will include Ant and Beetle RC Combat events. The Bot Boogaloo will include Sumo, Line Following, Line Maze Solving, Cone Stalking, Art Bot and other autonomous events. This split has been successful and makes each competition better.
Below you will find the most up-to-date rules for the various events that may be featured at our competitions. If you have any questions about the rules please contact our club officers or bring your question to one of our monthly meetings.
