Move over pokey Google self-driving cars, here comes a pack of robot cars racing around an outdoor track in a bid to see which one is the fastest. The race is the annual International Autonomous Robot Racing Competition (IARRC), hosted by the University of Waterloo.

This year's event will take place on a large track in the parking lot of Engineering 5. All races are open to the public and begin at 11 a.m. In case of rain, the main competition will be held in the Sedra Student Design Centre (Engineering 5) on Sunday, July 19. 

One of the University of Waterloo's competing robots.
Waterloo Engineering introduced the IARRC in 2005 as a method to promote research in autonomous mobile robotics technology. This is the third time Waterloo has hosted the event.
