Last year, we were delighted to have light weight fighting robot competitions at Gulf Coast MakerCon, courtesy of the USF Robotics Interest Group. This year, we’re excited to be able to kick things up several notches, with new expanded space for matches in multiple weight classes up to 220 lbs.!

The Southeast Combot Championship comes to Gulf Coast MakerCon with two arenas, and generous space for pits and work areas. Weigh in and safety inspections will be from 2-8pm on Friday, April 17th, and from 8-10am on Saturday. Fights will start at 11am on Saturday, April 18th.

The arena combat area will be 16’x 26′ with a steel floor. The competition is open to all college, high school, and recreational builders . Visit the Builders Database for more information and to register your own team!

Many thanks to the Sam McAmis and the University of South Florida Robotics Interest Group for bringing the Southeast Combot Championship at Gulf Coast MakerCon 2015!
