Dave's Hubs.
This is a loose knit community of fighting robot builders that share ideas, information, and maybe sometimes good-naturedly trounce on each other.

The focus here is on local events, finding them, listing them, going to them, & afterwards bragging about how well we did at them.
Teams that for some weird reason associate themselves with CIB are:

Team Slayer
Team Ice
Team DMV
Team Kick-Me
Team Parentally Funded

This will take place on 23 & 24 October 2010 along with

David Calkins 2010 ComBots V event

 

at the San Mateo Event Center

2495 S. Delaware Street

2010 Halloween Robot Terror

 

On Saturday: one round of brackets in all 3 classes then hold the bot costume contest,

take a break for the audience to vote on the bot costume winner

then get back into fighting trim and continue fighting.

Right now I'm thinking of holding the championship rounds and the Ant Queen fights on Sunday.

 

The rules for the Bot Costume contest are :
1) The costume must go on the bot your fighting with
2) You will not fight in your Bot costume
3) While in costume the bot must be able to drive around the arena
4) No flaming costumes or parts , can't afford the fire permit
5) The audience will vote on the costume winner
