In the program, there was a page on a robot competition that was being organized for next year.
Any more info on that? Contacts?

This is still in the works.
Start building your bots now.. I am sure it will be a blast until a piece of metal flys from one of the bots and hits someone :)
Flamethrowers, sledge hammers.. chain saws.. I am sure there will be many various types going out there ..
It will also depend on participation to see if it actually gets going.Kraa: You are Slackware Linux. You are the brightest among your peers, but are often mistaken as insane. Your elegant solutions to problems often take a little longer, but require much less effort to complete. -
You can count me in as at least one contestant. Already collecting parts and figuring out a design....... I just thought of what this thing is going to be! Look for the DrStangeCheese bot next year!Comment

where are you going to hold this? And how would you bring something like that on a plane. You would have to drive because mailing it to yourself is practialy inviting the postal service to crush it.Comment

So what is the purpose? Battle bots? Sumo? Autonomous? Could be very cool.Comment

Hi folks,

i'd like to make a little tiny legless robot that would just slide and when something approached it, it would burst out a few seconds of EMP... that would be neat for a battle royale...
I love robots, I think a few of us were sad when we saw it in the program... as if we could miss something. :]Comment

I haven't built any in a couple of years and those were BEAM robots. I've been wanting to build a battle bot - got some old server cases that would make a bitching frame. Perhaps a stun gun as a weapon ... getting tingly all over for DC12.Originally posted by blackwave

Obviously y'all didn't read the entire announcement. These are the same reasons mentioned in the program as to why it's NOT going to be a robot-wars style contest.Originally posted by kraa26
