The event is held in the Activity Center at the University of Texas - Dallas.

The address is 800 West Campbell Rd, Richardson, TX 75080. The university is undergoing major roadway and building construction and can be difficult to navigate however, UTD has an excellent map that includes where the construction is and alternative routes. The Activity Center is marked "AB" and is in the lower center of the map. PLEASE print out this map and bring it with you. You must park in Lot J to prevent getting a ticket. There will be an officer or guard on duty in that parking lot. If they ask, just tell them you are with the robotics competition.

For your convenience, we also have plenty of signs that say "Robotics Competition" and similar that will guide you to parking and then to the registration area. While we do not have loading docks to pull up to, the event is very close to the parking.

Food and drinks will be available for purchase as well as all the Hexbug Micro Robotics Creatures.

• Chick-Fil-A sandwiches $3.00
• 2 slices of Dominos Pizza $3.00
• Ice-Cold Bottled Water $0.50
• Ice-Cold Canned Sodas $0.75
• Plenty of other items including donuts, snack bars, chips, etc.

Up to four students per registered team will receive a voucher for one tasty donut and one water. As a thank you for your hard work, all volunteers will be fed and have a break area.

The university has approved our list of food items and NO OTHER FOOD ITEMS can be allowed in the activity center. If you would like, you may bring your own drinks. Also part of the university policy, no coolers of any type may be brought into the activity center and no food or drinks (other than water) in the audience stands.We got special permission to have personal drinks in the pit areas, but food must still be consumed in designated areas outside of the gym where the event is, but still inside the activity center. We are required to enforce this policy. Thank you for your cooperation in this matter.

For visitors and teams after the event, there are plenty of area restaurants, but they will be too remote for competing teams to visit in our tight time table.
