There are two tracks:

• 1.5 meter (5 foot) wide course with borders in 70-110mm (3-4 inch) wide white tape.

• yellow tape at the centerline 35mm – 55mm (1.5-2 inch) wide

• The course must have at least one left turn, right turn, hairpin turn(1.5m outside radius) and gradual turn ( >3m outside radius)

• Course should fit in a box 20m x 15mUp to 3 cars at a time (for now)

• Course may not be smooth so the car should be able to handle step shaped bumps of up to 25mm (1 inch)

• People will stand 3 meters away from the track.

• 10m wide track, with 15cm red, blue and green lanes.

• Sometimes 10cm-high walls will be erected on insider and outside edges of the track to assist Lidar-guided rovers.

-----------------------------

Other stuff that will be provided: Tables, chairs, power, wifi, coffee, pizza. And interesting fun.

Don't worry if you don't have anything to bring/hack on. You're welcome to just hang out and do the meetup thing. Or help others hack their things. This is that brief moment where we can all be n00bs. Someday our cars are supposed to be perfectly safe and autonomous. But for now, let's hack and crash while we still can.

Looking forward to seeing you all there!
