Hebocon Trash-Robot Battle

The Hebocon Battle will take place Saturday September 15, 2018, 6pm, at Werk21.

Are you in? Bring your robot to the Hebocon booth in the main hall on Saturday before 5:30pm.

“Hebocon is a robot sumo-wrestling competition for those who are not technically gifted. It is a competition where crappy robots that can just barely move gather and somehow manage to engage in odd, awkward battles. To my knowledge, this is the only robot contest in the world where people with no technical capabilities to make robots are presented prizes.

In July 19, 2014, the first Hebocon competition was organized and held by Hebocon Master Daiju Ishikawa in Tokyo, Japan. After a video about the competition was included in the Jury Selections of the Japan Media Arts Festival, held by Japan’s Agency for Cultural Affairs, Hebocon has made media appearances in many countries, and now, it looks like Hebocon is about to go international.” – CC BY hebocon.org
