International robot builders welcome

  • The German Roboteers Association very much welcomes the international visitors of this site.

    We in Germany have started our own small fighting robot weight class and are very much interested in the international activities going on in the 6 kg class.
    It would be great if you would share your experiences with us on this board.

    Most of us are familiar with the English language, so we will for sure be able to get some communication going.

  • This is absolutely the right place, we have just opened it as an international platform. Thank you for your participation!

  • Hi.
    I have been organizing Finnish fighting robot combats for couple of years and I'm very interested about your robots and fr-organization.
    Here comes a few questions about fighting robot scene in Germany.

    How long you have had these finghting robot combats in Germany? How many times per year you have battles? On what kind of an arena your robot's fight? Is there any shields between robots and audience/roboteers?
    Do you have rules in English somewhere?

    Well, that's for the start....
