Bot Brawl 17 Results
Bot Brawl 17 was hosted on August 12, 2017 at the Peoria Civic Center in Peoria, IL. This event was part of Ignite Peoria and the Midwest MakerFest. The Midwest MakerFest is the largest MakerFest in the Midwest, and the Bot Brawl is the largest hobby robotics contest in the Midwest! There were art exhibits, dance performances, maker demonstrations, and maker exhibits going on all day long in addition to the Bot Brawl.
The day was a success with 49 robots going at each other. There were 20 Antweights and 14 Beetleweights competing. A couple of robots had to drop out due to not passing safety inspections. A few Beetleweights could not get ready in time and dropped out at the last moment. The Mini (500g) Sumo event had 10 competitors that produced a few surprises with the upstarts taking on the veterans. The Mega (3 kg) Sumo had only 2 competitors. Two of the pre-registered robots ran into technical difficulties the night before and dropped out. Still, the 2 entrants that were able to compete put on a good show. The Line Following and Line Maze events were held as demonstrations due to a low number of entrants. Checkers on a Sumo Ring had 3 competitors, with the victor upsetting last year’s champion. The RC Combat Rumbles held at the end of the day were a great roar of fun. The Antweight victor was chosen by audience applause since there were at least 6 bots still moving at the end of 4:00 minutes. The Beetleweight victor was a surprise and left no doubt as to who was in charge of that rumble!
