Kilobots XXXIV is a wrap!

Canadian National Championship 2016
Congratulations everyone on another successful event! The Sask Expo marked their attendance at just over 15300 people, and going by the mass of never ending people surrounding the Kilobots arena, I’d say most of them stopped by to watch at least a few fights!

Watch the Past Events page for fight videos to start going up, and watch Sasktel Max Local On Demand for the event to be televised soon!
You can re-watch the live stream for a limited time here: https://www.twitch.tv/fingertechrobotics/profile

If you saw the event and would like to build a robot, Saskatoon TechWorks is holding a workshop where you will build a Viper kit!
Two dates are available: Oct 1 and Oct 8.

Kilobots XXXIII done, on to XXXIV

Kilobots XXXIII is all wrapped up and was a fun outdoor event as usual! Videos from the event are posted on the Past Events page. It was a great event for testing new ideas and creations before September’s big Canadian National Championship!

If you are a Sasktel Max subscriber, the Kilobots XXXII tournament that was held last month at Spectrum 2016 is now playing On Demand!
If you can’t watch it there, check out the YouTube playlists of every fight just added to the Past Events page!  (It’s just a single camera with no commentary, but the fights are still awesome!)

Registration for Kilobots 32 is now open!

Kilobots 32 – January 14-17, 2016 @ Cameco Spectrum (University of Saskatchewan)
Every three years this massive event takes place at the UofS.  It is the largest student-run science and engineering expo, showing off the latest technologies and student projects.  As it has for the past 12 years, Kilobots will be the main event with Saskatoon TechWorks and the IEEE Robotics Club flanking the arena in the huge tractor lab.  We already have teams from as far away as Florida signed up to compete, and this event will be filmed for television!  Spectrum attracts thousands of spectators, so if you have been waiting for a big event to debut your bots, this is it!

Register HERE.  Payments must be received by January 8th.

SaskExpo is almost here!!!
