RoboGames

RoboGames (previously ROBOlympics) is an annual robot contest held in San Mateo, California.

[1] Competitions typically involve entrants representing a large selection of countries, who compete in over fifty categories, such as autonomously navigating robots in RoboMagellan, combat robots, stair-climbing, weight-lifting, soccer bots, sumo bots, and kung-fu.

Despite this, a large plurality of entrants in RoboGames remain in the remotely operated events, specifically combat robotics.

[3] RoboGames was selected by Wired for their list of "The Best Ten North American Geek Fests".

[5] RoboGames built a framework for collaboration between builders and engineers from all over the world.
