RoboGames 2010 Scheduled For April, ComBots Cup Is Back This December

Ooooh baby, can you feel that robot love? And better yet, that smashing sparking crushing robot destruction and death? Not only has RoboGames 2010 been scheduled for April 23-25th (a few months earlier than this year), but the ComBots Cup is back! We covered ComBots in May of 2008… Held at Maker Faire, it’s where Pleo got, uh, introduced to Vicious Verdict. The problem with having the ComBots Cup in May and RoboGames in June is that it didn’t allow for much time for both people and robots to recover from two days of combat, and as we’ve seen, things can get pretty brutal, so last year, the two events were sort of folded into RoboGames. Or ComBots went on hiatus. I’m not sure which. But who cares, it’s back now, and that means TWICE THE CARNAGE!

The ComBots Cup is scheduled for December 19-20, and both events have moved to the San Mateo County Fairgrounds just south of San Francisco. Lots of details will be forthcoming, and we’ll bring ‘em to you, but make sure and block out these dates on your calendar now. Plus the normal two or three days afterwords for detox.
