March 12, 2021 Statement: 2021 RoboBoat and RoboSub Competitions Hosted Online Thanks to the community’s unwavering patience and discussions with competition sponsors and community members over these past few months, we have come to the decision to host RoboBoat 2021 and RoboSub 2021 online. This decision was made with the safety and equity of all teams at the top of mind. While we are motivated by the progress we see around us regarding vaccine dissemination and decreases in case numbers, the much anticipated face-to-face reunion will have to wait for 2022! We’re looking to use 2021 to the fullest and enter next year ready to dominate the waters! Keep up with the latest details on the RoboBoat 2021 and RoboSub 2021 webpages.
