Robots Set To Battle It Out in Chicago

robot battle zone

The International iHobby-Expo, scheduled for October 16th through the 19th at the Donald E. Stephens Convention Center (Rosemont, Illinois) will feature a special "Robot Battle Zone" with robot competitions, knowledgeable robotics enthusiasts and experts, and several well known robot kit vendors.

Active members of ChiBots, the Chicago Area Robotics Association, will provide most of the staffing for the Robot Battle Zone, and Royce Pipkins, the current ChiBots president, will be giving an on-the-show-floor workshop on the 18th to introduce the public to the challenge and joy of participating in hobby robotics.
