Since 1991,
Robot Battles has been staging robotic combat
competitions (mostly) around the southern United States.
Robot
Battles is one of the oldest continuously running
robotic combat competitions in the world. We
proudly trace our roots to the
Denver Mad Scientists Club
and are a direct descendent of the "Critter
Crunch" robotic competition held every year at MileHiCon
in Denver, which began back in 1987 (and is still going
strong).
This year,
we have scheduled events in Atlanta at
MomoCon
and
Dragon Con,
as well as
in Chattanooga at
the
Chattanooga Mini-Maker
Faire.
Over the
years, we have held over 60 events at conventions, Maker Faires, and game clubs in
Tennessee, Georgia, Alabama, North Carolina, Florida,
Colorado, and as far away as Barcelona, Spain.

But
just what makes Robot Battles different from other
robotic events? Well, we don't have a TV show, we don't
have supermodels, and we don't have huge cash prizes.
What we do have is a creatively unique host, some of the
most imaginative builders and designers in the sport,
and the most involved audiences in the country (in our
humble opinion). And, of course, lots and lots of very
intense one-on-one mechanical mayhem matches. Which is
what it's all about. |

As always, if you have any
other questions
about the newly updated and
revised ruleset
or future events, please feel free to
contact us directly,
ask us on
Facebook, or join our
Yahoo! Group. And while
you're at it, how about
doing a little shopping? |

Upcoming
2017 Robot Battles Events & Competitions |
 |
For the 27th year in a row, we will be returning
to Atlanta for the
Dragon Con
convention and our largest competition of the
year!
Robot Battles 64 will feature all four weight classes
and will be held
for two days over the Labor Day Weekend at the
Hyatt Regency Atlanta
hotel, with the Ants and Beetles
competing on Sunday, September 3rd in the
International Ballroom, and the larger bots on
Monday, September 4th in the Regency Ballroom
(the same locations we've been for past several
years).
Contestant registration will be handled onsite
the day of each event (9 a.m. for the Sunday
event, 10 a.m. for the Monday competition).
Also, we'll have some special prizes this year
for the winners of each weight class, which
we're pretty excited about. Without giving away
the surprise, let's just say it involved both a
metal forge and several 3D printers... |

For
those that want some education along with their
entertainment, we'll be at the
Chattanooga Mini-Maker
Faire on Saturday, September 9th at
the First Tennessee Pavilion with a full MicroBattles competition, along with workshops and demos by our experienced builders. |
 |
We'll be back for a third year at
MomoCon
at the Georgia World Congress Center
in Atlanta over the Memorial Day Weekend in 2018. This
will be a two-day event featuring all four of
our weight classes. Come out and be part of one
of the fastest growing events of
the season at one of the fastest growing cons! |
