AGROBOTICS

Please review the following information if you’re interested in AgRobotics. Again, Parker Co. 4-H
does not have an organized team/group but if you’d like to make up your own team and compete
you are welcome to do so.

We are excited to announce that the game mat and game piece supply list for this year’s
AgRobotics contests is now available. The game rules will be posted on our robotics page on or
before September 1, but we wanted teams to be able to order mats and pieces as soon as
possible. This year’s theme is titled Coastal Cultivators which focuses on agriculture, aquaculture,
and resource stewardship along the coast.

The following major stock shows will use this game during the 2024-2025 school year:

FWSSR – Jan. 31
SALE – Feb. 13
Rodeo Austin – Mar. 26
San Angelo – April 12

HLSR has a different version of AgRobotics, and as such, will have a different game mat, pieces,
and challenges. Please be sure to review each show’s rules, as some may differ slightly, and many
will have different contest day schedules.

Here are two options for obtaining a game mat:
1. If teams want to download and print a practice mat at a print shop of their choosing, they can
use the attached PDF. Other file types may be possible upon request.
2. Below is a link to Geyer who can print and direct ship game mats to you. These will be the same
game mats used in all the above-mentioned contests.

Instructional Products
b. Use Code 5FORYOU – For Free Shipping and 5% Off

Also attached is the game piece supply list. These are the pieces that will be used at all contests
for the known challenges. As a side note, teams DO NOT bring their mats and game pieces to these
contests. All mats and pieces are provided at each contest.

The supply list and Geyer link has been posted on our state robotics page for future reference:

Again, the challenge rules will be posted by September 1, so be sure to check the robotics page
between now and then.

Thanks,
