Roborama 2026 – 5/23/26 - competition starts 1pm Dallas Makerspace in the interactive classroom - doorbell on the DMS front door

DPRG will hold its 30th Roborama competition on May 23, 2026. The competition consists of six classic DPRG contests. It is an event that allows roboticists of all skill levels to compete for prizes and bragging rights.

The competition contests are:

Quick Trip – Robots drive in a straight line to a location and return to their starting point.
Four Corners – Robots travel around a large square shaped course attempting to return exactly to their starting location.
Line Following – Robots follow a black line around a track with twists and turns. The level being run this year is advanced.
Mini Sumo – Robots attempt to push their opponent out of a circular arena using power and strategy. Robots are limited to 500gm weight and 10cm x 10cm size.
Barrel Racing – Robots run against time navigating around a triangular course of 3 orange cans, similar to the rodeo competition.
Six Can – Robots race to remove 6 cans from an arena

The schedule, rules, and all other details can be found at the Roborama 2026 webpage. https://www.dprg.org/roborama-2026/

This annual event is always a lot of fun, even as a spectator. Everyone is welcome.

See Doug and Mark's creation run - there's just so much to look at here - what talent! You have to play it over and over to take it all in:

- Robie the DPRG mascot riding the carriage and steering the horse (line following robot)
- The matching line follower robot towing the float as it follows the line
- The miniature 6-can competition running in the blue arena
- The miniature line-following competition running under the table
- The miniature laptop printing messages to its screen
- The blinky lights on the side of the float
- The red robot's arms raised in triumph

This is just the darndest thing I ever saw - well done Doug & Mark and good luck at the competition on Saturday.
