Save the Date: It's officially AVC season 2017!

Let the countdown begin.

Last year’s AVC feels like it was just yesterday, but that might be because I still have a stack of unused wristbands and special-edition bumper stickers on my desk, begging to be put back in storage.

Luckily, I’ve procrastinated cleanup for so long it’s no longer necessary: It’s officially AVC Season 2017! SparkFun’s ninth annual Autonomous Vehicle Competition will be on October 14-15, 2017, here in Colorado.

We have quite a few surprises in the works for our AVC friends, which we’ll be announcing over the next few weeks. We’re excited to up the ante for the competition this year – any of you interested in autonomous trucking? Or obstacles that (gasp) move?!

Stay tuned to the blog or follow us on social media; we’ll be sharing course designs, rules, weight classes and more exciting news over the next few weeks.
