In this work we describe a large new sample of contact binary stars extractedin a uniform manner from sky patrol data taken by the ROTSE-I telescope.Extensive ROTSE-I light curve data is combined with J, H, and K bandnear-infrared data taken from the Two Micron All-Sky Survey (2MASS) to addcolor information. Contact binaries candidates are selected using the observedperiod-color relation. Candidates are confirmed by visual examination of thelight curves. To enhance the utility of this catalog, we derive a new J-Hperiod-color-luminosity relation and use this to estimate distances for theentire catalog. From these distance estimates we derive an estimated contactbinary space density of (1.7 +/- 0.6) x 10^-5 pcs^-3.Comment: 26 pages, 12 figures, accepted for publication in A
