Annual Kilobots Events
In the past, Kilobots in Saskatchewan has held three events a year. One in January, one in May, and one in August/September. With the new 2022 restructuring, we will be adding MORE annual events to the schedule as the Alberta and British Columbia arenas get going!
Annual Events
We hold annual Kilobots events at PopConYXE in May, and Calgary Maker Faire! These are full combat tournaments in a round-robin or double-elimination format and typically have 15-30 robots competing for top prizes. FingerTech Robotics HQ also now holds annual events, typically in January, March and July.
Year-Round
FingerTech Robotics has opened a new headquarters that has Saskatoon’s Kilobots arena permanently set up! It’s new, but the intent is to hold in-between events – less advertised, better for trying out new designs and tweaking your build before throwing down at the big annual tournaments. Builders can stop by (with notice) to do testing any time. 
Special Events
We have held tournaments and promotions in shopping centers, schools, the Saskatoon Fireworks Festival, SaskExpo, the Dragon Boat Festival, Wakeride, and at the University’s triennial “Cameco Spectrum” Science & Engineering Expo. These events include the audience in fun exhibition matches. Our intention is to get you hooked and see you at the next event with a robot of your own! Match styles include King of the Hill, 2-on-2 Bot Soccer, Can Clearing, and the Pinball Gauntlet obstacle course!
Nationals
The Kilobots Canadian National Championship has been held in conjunction with large events such as The Saskatoon Ex, PopConYXE, and the TELUS Spark Science Centre. This is one you don’t want to miss! Teams from across Canada, the USA and the UK travel to Kilobots to compete for thousands of dollars in prizes and the coveted “Kilobots Cup”. Meet teams (and robots!) that have competed on TV’s BattleBots and Robot Wars, and at the International RoboGames. Nationals is typically held in August.
