DNA Lounge
Robot Entry Form

Greetings, roboticists!

This is the form for registering your robot as a participant in the DNA Lounge Cocktail Robotics Grand Challenge on Sunday, November 14, 2021. If you're you're looking for the page where you can buy tickets as a spectator and/or victim, that's over here.

Entry Fee:

Contestants: The contest entry fee is $45 per robot, non-refundable. This also includes entry to the event for your build team.

Exhibitors: Free! If you'd like to just show off your robot without entering the contest, we'd still love to have you here. But please fill out the form anyway to let us know what to expect.

Contest Rewards:

$1000 cash, split between first, second, and third place. Also an awesome award statue with wind-up feet! The decisions of our panel of judges are capricious, fickle and final!

In addition, we'll give your team $1 for each drink token that your robot collects from our human customers, whether you win or not.


All fields are required, except as noted.

Contestants: Registering for the contest is a two-stage process. First: purchase a contestant ticket, by clicking that button up and to the right. (Don't just buy a regular "spectator" ticket by mistake!) Second, paste your confirmation code for that ticket in this form.

Exhibitors: Just leave the "Conf Code" field blank, since admission is free for non-contestant robots.

Power: We will provide 110VAC, 10A. If your robot runs on something else (e.g. steam, plutonium, the souls of the damned) you'll have to provide that.

Blurb:

Give us a few sentences describing your robot and why it is awesome, for use on the calendar and event invitations.

Photo: If you have a photo or rendering of your robot, please email it to robot_entry@dnalounge.com so we can use it in event promo.
And that's about it!
Load-in is at 2pm on the day of the event. Please try to arrive no later than 3pm -- set-up often takes longer than expected. Load-out is at 11pm. We can't store anything for you. If your robot is too drunk to drive itself home, please arrange its transport as we won't be responsible for anything or anyone left behind.
