This subreddit is dedicated to any show or sport where robots and machines fight, including:

Battlebots

Robot Wars

Robogames

Robotica

Combots

Robot Fighting League

National Robotics League

You are welcome to post videos of combat robots from the past as well as news about upcoming combat robot events.

Welcome to RoboWars - the sub dedicated to celebrating sports where robots fight live, whether past, present or future.

Robot combat is not just for television. It is global - from the US to the UK, from Brazil to India, from Tunisia to Australia, with events into triple figures held annually all over the world.

This is the place for celebrating this sport and hobby, for the latest news, for showing off your robots, for event reports and for questions and discussions.

Let the wars begin!


Rules

  1. Follow standard reddiquette.

  2. Posts should be about robot combat (as in the sport, rather than war technology) with the exception of special cases.

  3. Please use text and post spoilers (see below)

  4. Please don't spam lots of similar posts. If you want to post a number of fights or a whole competition, just post the first part or a full playlist.

  5. Feel free to post anything else, including old battles, new battles, competition predictions, building questions, rule discussions and (relevant!) memes.


Spoiler Flair

To show that a post contains spoilers, you can now set a spoiler flair.

  • Submit your post

  • Click 'Flair' underneath your post and select 'Spoiler'

This will set the post flair and replace the thumbnail with a spoiler warning.


Text Spoilers

  • Type your comment in square brackets []

  • Type (/spoiler) at the end of the spoiler

  • It will appear like this and you can hover over it to reveal it

For example:

  • [example]_(/spoiler) would appear as example without the underscore

List of event organisers

...and many more local clubs

If I've missed any country-wide EOs off the list, please tell me. There are too many state-specific clubs to list here.

What are good universities that offer MS/MTech Robotics in INDIA?

I am a 4th-year Btech student in mechanical engineering at GITAM institute of technology with cgpa 9.04. I am interested in robotics and I have worked on an industrial Co-bot project with my professor. I want to continue in this field and do a master's and if possible, a Ph.D. I am looking for various universities that offer masters in robotics but I couldn't find much apart from IISC and IIT Kanpur. Are there any other universities that offer master's?

Event in Riverhead, Long Island, New York on October 16th! Help Wanted

Hello from Team Geronimo to builders and fans! I'm looking for volunteers to bring some stuff to a Maker Faire in Riverhead, Long Island, New York on October 16th (Saturday). The event will be from 11AM-5PM, but we can get there at 9AM in order to set up what ever you/we decide to bring. There will be electrical outlets available as well as food and drink. The location will be either inside or in the parking lot of the Tanger Outlets and there is a food court. Admission and registration are free (except for vendors who plan on selling). This is not a combat event so complete builds are nice, but not necessary. Please bring anything you can related to Battlebots, Robot Wars, King of Bots, robot combat etc. If you do decide to bring a functional bot, please keep in mind that you will be responsible for all safety precautions necessary since our table/set up is just to provide information and educate people. If all goes according to plan, this may open up the door for full combat events on Long Island (across the LI Sound from Norwalk Havoc). If you think you can make it and possibly bring anything please leave a comment with your name and/or email so the event organizers and I can contact you and provide event information. More information updates to follow for those who show interest. Have a nice day fans and builders!
