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).
For 2018,
we have events scheduled in Atlanta at
MomoCon
and
Dragon Con,
and
are working out details a later summer/early fall event
in Chattanooga.
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
Robot Battles Events & Competitions |

After a great second year, we're back for
MomoCon
at the Georgia World Congress Center
in Atlanta over the Memorial Day Weekend for
Robot Battles 65. This
will be a two-day event featuring all four of
our weight classes.
On Saturday, May 26th, we'll be running the
"insect" weight classes (one and three pounds)
in the arena, and then on Sunday, May 27th,
we'll be running the 12 and 30 pound classes on
the sumo stage.
Check-in and registration begins at 10 a.m. for
competitors, with the competition starting at
Noon on both days. Be sure to
check out our
Facebook event pages (day
one and
day two)
for last minute details and other useful
information. If you plan on competing,
email us
your name and the names of your team members so
we can get you added to the competitor list for
access badges.

For the 27th year in a row, we will be returning
to downtown Atlanta for the
DragonCon
convention and our largest competition of the
year, featuring all four weight classes. Held
for two days over the Labor Day Weekend,
this is the one robotic event of the year you do
NOT want to miss! |
 |
For
those that want some education along with their
entertainment, we'll be back at the
Chattanooga Mini-Maker
Faire (date to be announced) at
the First Tennessee Pavilion. We'll be
conducting hands-on workshops on robotic
building as well as competition demos and
strategy sessions. |
