Unlike many of today’s robot themed events, Robot Fest is not a competitive event. It could be best described as a “Day of Playful Invention.” We encourage makers, hackers, hobbyists, DIYers, experimenters, students, artists, and engineers, young and old to share their passion for technology and creativity.

Robotfest will be held April 24, 2010 at the National Electronics Museum in Linthicum, MD

RoboGames invites the best minds from around the world to compete in over 50 different events. Combat robots, walking humanoids, soccer bots, sumo bots, and even androids that do kung-fu. Some robots are autonomous, some are remote controlled – but they’re all cool! As an open event, anyone can compete – this means you.  (http://robogames.net/index.php)
