Combots Cup V – Robot People, Start Your Motors!

COMBOTS CUP V
October 23-24th, 2010 at the beautiful San Mateo Expo Center in beautiful San Mateo, Ca. Tickets are on sale now at Combots.net!
COMBOTS CUP V is so stupendous I am contractually obligated to spell it in all caps.
COMBOTS CUP V is robot combat at its best, with competition from the tiniest 1-pound ant weights to 220lb heavyweights (which are on the biggish side).
Thank You Mad Overlord for the hi-def videos from RoboGames 2010, whoo.
See the thrill of victory, and the smoke and flames of defeat! See small children getting into hard core mechanical engineering and software programming! See who wins some of our $3500 prize purse, and who goes home in a bucket.
Those of you familiar with combat robotics know it's way better live, with crashing, bashing, flaming and those interesting smells that usually spell catastrophe. All safety measures will be taken so you can see robots launch themselves at each other in a brilliant display of engineering and sportsmanship.
Tickets are available now at Combots.net, but why not compete? Build a robot for any one of our five weight classes, then register here!.
Not competing in October? Come get a taste of things to come, then go home and build your machine for THE INTERNATIONAL ROBOGAMES, coming April 17-19th, 2011
Spread it far and wide, like hydraulic fluid gushing from an injured heavyweight! Bring your friends! Bring your enemies! Enjoy delightful beer and snacks on a genteel afternoon filled with WANTON DESTRUCTION and delightful precision mechanics, with some of the nicest people you’d ever want to tear apart your lovingly crafted machine.
Seriously, it’s fun. You should go. And bring your robot.
