The RoboColumbus-Plus competition page
<https://www.dprg.org/robocolumbus-competition-2021/> has been updated with
guidelines detailing how to join this year’s competition from a remote
location. DPRG hopes that the many friends and potential friends who can’t
travel to the local Dallas competition can join by setting up a remote
course and using Google Meet to participate in the fun and challenges of an
outdoor rover competition.

The RoboColumbus-Plus rules
<https://www.dprg.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/robocolumbusplus-20210423.pdf>
have
been updated to add a new contest category and challenge. Participants now
have the option of running their robot in the “robot-planned” category and
taking the 3-waypoint challenge. In this challenge, the robot must depend
completely on it algorithms to complete the course with only 3 target
waypoints. The robot’s owner is not allowed to pre-walk the course during
the competition or use additional waypoints besides the 3 given by the
judges.
