RoboWars 6 is on this weekend in Oakleigh, Vic!

Posted January 15, 2009 by Ash 5 Comments »

Question:

  • Do you like robots?
  • Do you like watching robots destroy other robots for FREE?
  • Do you live near Oakleigh in Victoria, Australia?

If you answered YES, YES, and (YES or NEAR ENOUGH or DISTANCE IS NO OBJECT) to those questions then you better get on down to Oakleigh this weekend because its time for ROBOWARS SERIES 6!!!

I am a stupid idiot face so I haven’t been able to make it to one of these before (I had just finished the Oxfam Trailwalker last time I think) but I have blogged about them before on Ausrobotics.

The event is run by the awesome guys at http://robowars.org. I am looking forward to meeting some of them and the rest of the Australian fighting robot community. Maybe I’ll bring along Mobot and see how long it lasts agains 50000 KILOGRAMS OF TITANIUM AT 500000 RPM!! 

Haha, should be an interesting couple of days. I plan on taking my video camera to capture all the action so expect an in depth breakdown next week.

Are you thinking of going along to RoboWars 6? Let me know in the comments!

    Cool robot man, I am guessing it hurts a bit when it hits you in the shins. :)

    I won’t call these robots, they are more remote controlled hammers, grinders ect.

    btw – just logged in to the site then (may have been the first log in to the new site) and it took me to the wordpress admin page – can’t be right?

    Damn I gotta fix up these rough looking comments! (the style that is)

    Yeah you should be taken to the admin page when you log in. From there you can write about your projects as a blog post. It will currently appear on the front page.

    Also you will be logged into the forums as well.

    I might change it so that it just sends you back to the main index instead though depending on what is the least annoying.
