Competitive Robotics at CSUS

Good afternoon everyone,

We received a message from the Engineering and Computer Science Joint Council President that the ECS Expo on April 11th has been cancelled in accordance with President Nelsen's initiative. As a result the Smackdown in Sactown 1-lb Combat Robot Tournament will not happen this year.

We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused, and we hope the event will be brought back for next year!

Quick update after talking with event services!

We will NOT have any soldering or drilling in the pits (unless you are totally fine doing it three floors down, outside in our club room before the event starts for purposes of making weight). We will also have around 16 square feet of table space dedicated just for battery chargers, and there will likely be much, much more than enough tablespace for builders to work with (as in, do not be surprised if you get a whole 6x3 foot table for yourself). The dingier tables on the side away from the arena are for cutting/hammering stuff or using hot glue.

Next year, we will try to book a room earlier so we aren't stuck with one that has carpet...

[I'll try to figure out whether or not you'll need to purchase a parking ticket on Tuesday.]

Good day, everyone! We hope you all are having a great summer!

For this year, there will be several events/activities that we have planned at Sacramento State, including an open 1-lb combat robot competition happening on campus this fall! Some of the competition rules and details are being finalized, but the date, [target] start time, and the location are all set.

We would also like to thank the Sacramento State College of Engineering and Computer Science and the Hornet Leadership Program team for their support!

Feel free to check out our site for more details!

Thanks to all the volunteers and competitors who helped make this event possible! We hope to see you all again next year!
