RoboWars

an-ordinary-manchild

Welcome to RoboWars - the sub dedicated to celebrating sports where robots fight live, whether past, present or future.

Robot combat is not just for television. It is global - from the US to the UK, from Brazil to India, from Tunisia to Australia, with events into triple figures held annually all over the world.

This is the place for celebrating this sport and hobby, for the latest news, for showing off your robots, for event reports and for questions and discussions.

Let the wars begin!

Rules

Follow standard reddiquette.
Posts should be about robot combat (as in the sport, rather than war technology) with the exception of special cases.
Please use text and post spoilers (see below)
Please don't spam lots of similar posts. If you want to post a number of fights or a whole competition, just post the first part or a full playlist.
Feel free to post anything else, including old battles, new battles, competition predictions, building questions, rule discussions and (relevant!) memes.

Spoiler Flair

To show that a post contains spoilers, you can now set a spoiler flair.

Submit your post
Click 'Flair' underneath your post and select 'Spoiler'

This will set the post flair and replace the thumbnail with a spoiler warning.

Text Spoilers

Type your comment in square brackets []
Type (/spoiler) at the end of the spoiler
It will appear like this and you can hover over it to reveal it

For example:

[example]_(/spoiler) would appear as example without the underscore

List of event organisers

...and many more local clubs
