They announced the date, and some vague references to trucking and moving objects. I'm thinking there will be something about hauling a load, with extra point based on the weight of the load.

BTW those dates are the same as the powerwheels racing dates, and their schedule says the race is in Denver. But that may or may not be important.

Interesting... I *am* interested in autonomous trucking. And moving objects... my curiosity is piqued. :)

Interesting, it looks like it is now a 2 day event. I like it! And it will make the PRS people happy too.
Don't know about October though. In Colorado we frequently get snow and or thunderstorms the first 2 weeks of October. September is about perfect for weather in my opinion. Could have predicted October though; every year Sparkfun schedules the AVC a month or two later. Remember when it was in March? Soon enough, we will be back to March. We could be having AVC this weekend! Perfect!!!!

Yes, the schedule last year also said Denver, and the 2017 rules say, "(Provisional) Sparkfun AVC Boulder, CO", but they may or may not have coordinated with Sparkfun when updating the 2017 rules. The rules also link to the 2016 AVC for more information on the Autonomous rules.
It is notable that the dates for the Denver Maker Faire are also Oct 14,15.

I think they said moving obstacles. That may or may not make a huge difference, depending on the implementation. I mean, there have been moving obstacles for a while now -- JesseJay's rover for instance, and the hoop that it moved around the course =)
I have a new secret weapon that greatly improves dead reckoning, but I may have to do more to deal with moving obstacles. Yikes!
