SPECTATORS: Quarterly race at Circuit Launch (and Brazilian BBQ) resumes!

SPECIAL NOTICE: COVID-19

After more than a year of virtual and outdoor events, we are now ready to resume in-person events indoors at Circuit Launch, which has been remodeled during quarantine and looks great. We are assuming that everyone over 16 attending will be fully vaccinated -- please do not attend if you are not. Regardless, in compliance with Alameda County policies we will require masks at all times and hand-sanitizers will be available at the door. We are also capping indoors attendance at 150 people. Please do not attend if you have traveled internationally in the previous 2 weeks, even if you're vaccinated.

The lunchtime guest speaker presentation will be from the Amazon AWS DeepRacer team, demoing the newly open-sourced code for DeepRacer and what you can do with it.

In addition to the usual indoors track and races, we're introducing an Experimental Outdoors Track. Inspired by the Sparkfun Autonomous Vehicle Competition (RIP), this will be in the parking lot outside Circuit Launch. This first one will just be a track for you to use but no official judging; once we have some feedback on the track we'll make it official for future events. What's different about outdoors: 1) you can use GPS, 2) bigger track, for faster and bigger cars, 3) real-world lighting conditions to stress your computer vision more! Guidelines for that are here:
