Event Description
RCCR has been invited to the McWane Science Center for Bot Day in Birmingham Alabama!
Thanks to the support of the Science Center, tables and chairs will be provided for the pits. Plan to bring extension cords and power strips if needed, I will have a few but probably not enough for everyone.
This event is open to 1lb and 3lb robots. Right now registration is limited due to time constraints, but I may be able to open up some spots as we get closer if there is enough interest. I can also bring a Fairyweight arena as well for Exposition matches, just let me know ahead of time. The arena is 6' x 6', steal floor, and one corner has an Out of the Arena Zone. SPARC rules apply, no fire weapons. If have any questions please send an email or contact us through the Rocket City Combat Robots Facebook page.
This event will take place from 10am to 5pm on April 11th, 2026.
The Science Center will open at 10am. We would like to be through safety inspections by 11:30am, and the tournament must be completed around 4:30 pm so everyone can pack up prior to the Center's closure at 5pm.
This event will need to be ran on a tight schedule, so if you are not ready when your robot's name is called it will be a forfeit. We will do our best to insure everyone has 20 minutes between fights. With that in mind, bring plenty of spares and be ready for quick repairs.
More details to come as they are worked out with the festival.
