Event details - Mellow Robot Rumble
Bog Bots will organise two kinds of events:
Fierce Robot Rumbles, which will only contain competitions for combat robots without opportunity to test or play around.
Mellow Robot Rumbles, which will not contain any competitions, but is a meeting for makers of combat robots.
This meeting will have opportunities for testing your robots, introducing and supporting of future participants, and spontaneous test battles.
Test battles can be organised by participants by using the whiteboard system to announce their intention to spar.
This event page is the announcement of a Mellow Robot Rumble and the maiden event for our arena.
