Bot Brawl 18

Bot Brawl 18 was hosted on August 11, 2018 at the Peoria Civic Center in Peoria, IL.  This event was part of Ignite Peoria and the Midwest MakerFest.  This was our third year of teaming up with these great groups and we were delighted to be a part of it.  The Midwest MakerFest is the largest MakerFest in the Midwest, and the Bot Brawl is the largest hobby robotics contest in the Midwest!  There was art & craft exhibits, dance performances, maker demonstrations, and maker exhibits all day long in addition to the Bot Brawl.  This event was a great blend of all sorts of creative energies.

After some last minute drop outs and walk-ins we had 27 Ants and 21 Beetles compete in RC Combat.  The battles this year were more furious than ever with bot & battle box pieces flying everywhere while drivers exhibited great skill driving their creations.  Lots of people were cheering for their favorite bots.

Results are shown below as well as at Challonge.com/BotBrawl18Ant and Challonge.com/BotBrawl18Beetle.

Tournament results have been sent to BotRank.com‘s site so all contestants will be ranked against other bots in the robot fighting world.  I don’t know how long it takes for them to process the data.  Go to their site and see your rank at http://sparc.tools/BotRank/index.php   Note, this is not the same rankings as just typing BotRank.com into your browser window.  That will take you to a legacy site.  If you have questions, please email me, Bruce Stott, at president@circpeoria.org

Thanks to our sponsors AutonomouStuff, Servo magazine and Nuts & Volts magazine.  We could not have held such a great competition without them.  Thank you!
