Since 1991, Robot Battles has been staging robotic combat competitions around the United States, with annual events in in Atlanta, Georgia at Dragon*Con, Chattanooga, Tennessee at Chattacon, in High Point, North Carolina at StellarCon,  and in Orlando, Florida at MegaCon. We have also held events in Denver, Colorado and Huntsville, Alabama and are looking to expand with more events every year.

Our next event, Robot Battles 37, is in High Point, North Carolina held in conjunction with the StellarCon convention at the Best Western High Point Hotel.  This is a full competition featuring all weight classes (1, 3, 12 and 30) and open to all competitors.  We won't have an enclosed arena, so keep that in mind for the ants and beetles.  We'll start check-in and onsite registration at 9:00am with the competition scheduled to start at 10:00am.  As always, contestants will want to bring extra extension cords and power strips as supplies may be limited.

Robot Battles is the second-oldest robotic combat competition in the world, and is a direct descendant of the oldest - the Critter Crunch held every year at MileHiCon in Denver, Colorado. We don't have a TV show, we don't have supermodels, and we don't have huge cash prizes. What we do have is a radio disc jockey with a rather eccentric taste in stage costumes, the most involved audiences in the country, the most imaginative builders around, and the most unique stage hazards in the sport, ranging from rubber snakes to stuffed animals to soft spongy rubber ducks. You never know what to expect, so be sure to get a good seat and enjoy! 

 

 


Stellarcon For the sixth year, we'll be returning to High Point, North Carolina for a full Robot Battles sumo event at the StellarCon convention featuring all four weight classes. The event will be held on Sunday, March 7, at the Best Western High Point Hotel.
 
Megacon The loved us so much our first, they can't wait to have us back again! In 2010, we'll be heading back to sunny Florida for another full competition at Orlando's Megacon in the Orange County Convention Center, with the full event set for Sunday, March 14.
 
DragonCon For thetwentieth year in a row, we will be returning to Atlanta for the Dragon*Con convention and our largest competition of the year. Held for two days over the Labor Day Weekend of 2010, this is the one robotic event of the year you do NOT want to miss!
 
Chattacon The crowds keep growing and the competition gets tougher every year at the Robot Microbattles event at the Chattacon convention in Chattanooga, Tennessee, becomes ever more popular. Makes plans to late January to compete at the Holiday Inn Choo Choo.
