Fighting Robots return to San Francisco!
Join us Saturday and Sunday, November 12-13th for The ComBots Cup and Robot Fighting League's 2005 National Championships! See the metallic stars of TV gather to fight it out to decide who's the champion - in robot weight classes up to 340 pounds. Thrill to the spectacle as robots fight only a few feet away from the bleachers!
The heavyweight combots cup competitors will be fighting for a $10,000 prize!
Date: Sat/Sun, Nov 12-13, 2005
Time: Noon - 11pm
Where: Ft. Mason, Festival Pavilion
Map and Directions (http://combots.net/directions.php)
Cost: $20, $15/kids 7-17
Free for kids 0-5 and active-duty military
I know there are a few of you that dislike combat robotics, think it degrades the sport etc...
I would just like to make a simple request. Keep an open mind. What you saw on TV pales in comparison to what it's like to be in the stands. I've been to a few competitions and I have seen the differences up close.
If there are any fans of the Heavyweight bot Biohazard, Carlo is bringing it out of retirement to fight for the $10,000 prize.
I'll be going, along with as many members of Team 675 as I can get down there.
Please keep the combat bot hate out of this thread. I'm just letting fellow roboteers know about the biggest combat event of the year.
