BotsIQ 2009 National Robotics Championship Information:
Dec 20 Update National Competition
Mark Your Calendars, the National Competition is coming!
Our National Competition will be held in the San Francisco Bay Area, April 20-26, 2009
(exact schedule and further details to be released in early 2009). This will be held in
conjunction with BattleBots, Inc. All BotsIQ activities will run from April 22-26, 2009; most teams will arrive on April 21, 2009. See details above for specifics.
BotsIQ and BattleBots, Here’s How it Will Work:
BattleBots will hold the College and High School 120 lb. competitions. Therefore,
teams will register with BattleBots, follow the BattleBots competition rules, and fight in
the BattleBots Arena. This event will be taped for television, so you, your team and
your robot might wind up on TV!
BattleBots will also be holding their regular Pro competition at this time. This will be a
great opportunity for BotsIQ teams to hang out with and learn from seasoned veterans.
BotsIQ will host the 15 lb. and Task Oriented competitions. This will take place at the
same venue as the BattleBots competition, but in a separate arena(s).
National Competition Registration
15 lb. and Task Oriented BotsIQ teams will register with the BotsIQ site, while all other
teams, including University and High School 120 lb. will register at the BattleBots
website. The goal is to open registration for all events before year end.
All University and High School 120 lb. teams are encouraged to register and participate
in the BattleBots Tournament. For more details and event rules check out the BattleBots
website at www.battlebots.com. Teams which have previously competed with BotsIQ
will receive a significant registration discount for participating.
