"World's Largest Robot Competition"
-Guinness Book of Records
RoboGames, the world's largest open robot competition, invites mechanics,
closet machinists, artists and engineers of all ages, skills and means to
compete at RoboGames this June. RoboGames is listed in the Guinness book
of records as the world's largest robot competition, and we want you to be
a part of it! Yes! There is still time to register your robot.
With over different 70 events to choose from, any robot, in any form, is
welcome to compete! From art robots to autonomous navigation, robot sumo
to fire fighting, even bots that don't fit into any category can register
for "best of show."
"Top Ten Best North American Geek Fests."
-Wired
The event is open to anyone, not just university students, professionals,
or other schools. Some of the finest builders are garage mechanics and
backyard experimenters, but RoboGames also hosts professional engineers,
robotics companies, and other organized teams. RoboGames also encourages
young engineers to come out and show their stuff, so we made more than 10
events just for under-18 events with NO registration fees!
"SportCenter's Top Ten"
-ESPN
Participants will be joining an international field of competitors (over 30
countries were represented last year) and competing for the prestigious
gold, silver and bronze medals awarded in every event! RoboGames is an
excellent opportunity to indulge mechanical know-how, adapt science
fetishes for good and come out and play among fellow makers, thinkers and
builders.
The event opens to the public June 13-15th, and fills the stands with
people eager to see your bot.
