Arena project

A 15-pound combat robotics arena for the region

Placer Robotics and Sierra College Mechatronics are working together on a 15-pound combat robotics arena for youth and collegiate competition, college instruction, industry demonstrations, and regional workforce engagement.

Built for the whole ecosystem

  • Sierra College Mechatronics students
  • Placer Robotics combat teams
  • K–12 demonstrations and STEM events
  • Sacramento Bot Battles and other regional competitions
  • Industry demonstrations and workforce engagement

The arena is being designed for regional events, school demonstrations, competitions, and industry programs — not for one permanent venue. It breaks down, travels, and sets up where the region needs it.

A name that travels with it

The design carries ten roof-edge sponsor panels and a full base band around the raised platform. A founding partner's name rides with the arena to every competition, demonstration, and classroom it visits.

Placements are part of the ask, not a price list — start the conversation and we'll walk through what's possible together.

The engineering

Designed as a modular system

Floor cassettes, door modules, a staged roof deck, and a raised platform grid — a system designed to be fabricated in parts, assembled for an event, and packed down to travel.
