What's it about?

German Roboteers Association has prepared a combat robot tournament for you, where original robotic builds will compete in special arenas, showing what's possible with modern technology, 3D printing, electronics, and skilled hands. The robots will face off in dynamic, often loud battles full of surprises, where it's never clear in advance who will come out on top. The competition involves building your own remote-controlled machines that fight one-on-one in the arena, with the goal of pushing the opponent out of the arena or disabling them outright. As a spectator, you can look forward not only to the battles themselves, but also to the chance to see the robots up close, watch repairs between matches, have the builders explain how the robots work, and even try controlling a robot yourself. It's an unforgettable experience where you can cheer for your favorites, get inspired, and get to know the world of combat robots up close. Registration and rules can be found on the website of the German Roboteers Association - Portal - German Roboteers Association e.V.
