Robot Olympics

robolympicsToday I went to ROBOlym­pics: “the first ever event to bring robot com­pe­ti­tions and com­pe­ti­tors together from around the world at a sin­gle place”. All the events were held at the Herbst Pavi­lion in Fort Mason and inc­lu­ded sumo wrest­ling, fire figh­ting, soc­cer and more. I took a few pho­tos of the robots and outside along Marina Green. It was a lot of fun and cer­tainly a dif­fe­rent way to spend a Sun­day afternoon.

Update: I’m now lin­ked to from Boing Boing which was recently voted weblog of the year.

    Do all robots use motors? If not, explain

  3. I don’t know much about the tech­ni­cal aspects of the robots. Check the ROBOlym­pics site for more information.
