Combat Robots return to the Bay Area!
 |
This past October, ComBots returned to the San Mateo Fairgrounds for ComBots Cup VI - the biggest cash prize purse in robot combat! Original Sin managed a three-peat and bested the other eleven of the best 220-pound robots from around the world for dominance, cash, and the glory that is the ComBots Cup - 100 pounds of trophy-shaped awesome! You can view the contestants here and a PDF of the fight ladders here.
Want to see our next show live? It's coming back along with hundreds of other robots at RoboGames 2012 this April 20-22nd, at San Mateo.
Whether you're a sports fan or techno geek, ComBots puts on the best events in San Francisco, getting on two of the world's best Top Ten lists:
- ESPN put our event in Sportscenter's Top Ten and
- Wired magazine called our RoboGames event one of "The Best Ten North American Geek Fests."
Want to Compete?
ComBots allows just about anyone to compete. Where to begin? Start by reading the rules and the Guide to Winning. Once you've got a robot plan in mind, you should definately go through the RioBotz Combot Tutorial (PDF - 28.7MB). There's also a very brief video on the components of a simple ComBot. When you've finished a robot, here's the information for registering and competing.
