Last year, RoboGames asked for Kickstarter support to resurrect itself when taking a prospect for 2014. The robotics community delivered, pledging nearly United States $50,000 to bring the world’s largest robotics competition back to Northern CA. This weekday, RoboGames 2015 opens in San Mateo, with fifty six events, as well as 220-pound heavyweight automaton combat and, uh, another stuff.
Grant Imahara, one amongst the blokes from MythBusters United Nations agency’s not that one guy or that alternative guy and who truly is aware of a issue or 2 concerning combat robots, are hosting the event.
As always, we've got to prompt you that whereas the heavyweight automaton combat is far and away the loudest, smashiest, and occasionally-on-fire-est, fans of true robots (something with associate autonomous part as opposition overgrown R/C cars) won't be foiled at RoboGames. Expect to envision autonomous golem events, autonomous rassling robots, autonomous firefighting, autonomous navigation, and even a 3-pound autonomous combat category.
If you can’t create it resolute CA as a result of you suddenly board some place far-flung like Washington, D.C. (sigh), a part of the upset the Kickstarter was that RoboGames would manufacture a series of professional-quality videos, place along by “a crack production crew,” that may be offered on videodisc, Blu-ray, and online, at some conversion the tip of the competition. The episodes can possible specialise in heavyweight combat, however we’re hoping that they’ll realize space to hide a number of the opposite events similarly.
