**Update on Robotics Beacon (09-17-2021)**

We are discontinuing use of the XBee based radio beacon used in past Robotics Challenges. We have a student team working to develop a new beacon, with a focus on developing a syatem that is easier to implement and use than the previous system. 

We are also encouraging robotics teams looking to engage with the Robotics Challenge at beyond the introductory level to design a beacon system that can be demonstrated at this year's Challenge. Here is a draft of the Beacon Solicitation and Requirements (v1.0).

Format for the 2021 - 2022 Robotics Challenge (General Info Slides, 09-17-2021 Update)

We hope to be at the Great Sand Dunes National Park in April 2022 for the annual challenge!

Teams are encouraged to begin work on their automous robots in the fall semester.  A Conceptual Design Review will be presented by participating teams in early November 2021.

Updates will be added to this website as program plans solidify!  Check back soon.
