RoboGames San Francisco, California, USA
RoboGames 2006 was an incredible event. In the combat
classes, the US continued to dominate, winning gold in all
but two weight classes. Brazil made its presence known,
taking two of the medals away from the dominating US team,
including gold in beetle weight, with Canada snatching the
gold in superheavyweight (340 lbs) against reigning champ
Sewer Snake. Australia, the UK, Iran, and S. Korea were all
locked out of combat medals.
The first ever real-time 3 on 3 humanoid soccer matches were
spectacular, with the US locking out the UK for the gold
medal, 1 to 0. The bronze medal round went into free-kick
overtime, and a breathtaking win by Brazil over Columbia, 2
to 1 in five free-kick rounds.
Singapore continued to dominate the sumo class, winning 10
of 15 medals. Japan took both golds in Robo-One, but the US
showed it's not to be forgotten, taking the silvers. Peru
managed to grab two golds in the BEAM class, while the open
classes proved to be a mixed bag, with Taiwan, Switzerland,
the UK, and Russia all grabbing medals from the usually
dominant US team. Returning Colombia also managed to pull
away with several medals in various classes.

San Francisco - Second annual RoboGames stands poised to
overtake San Francisco with thousands of robots from around
the planet.
The Robotics Society of America (RSA), the "Mister
Robotics" TV show, and San Francisco State University (SFSU)
are co-sponsoring the event.
RoboGames 2004 was a raging success with over 600
engineers coming from 11 countries with 411 robots competing
for the gold medals. The upcoming 2005 event expects to draw
500 robots from all continents to compete! Audience members
will thrill to the crashing of combat robots, be awed by
Robo-One walking androids, amused by the art robots, amazed
by the speed of soccer bots, and impressed by the number of
kids who can compete on par with the adult builders. Each
builder has a compelling story about their home-made
creations - dreaming it up, building it, and finally
competing against the best in the world.
"This is an exciting time," said RSA President and robotics
professor David Calkins. "Robots are becoming more integral
parts of our everyday life, and RoboGames will showcase the
best robots in the world! Most people know the combat robots
from TV, but the event also showcases fully autonomous
robots that play soccer, solve mazes, walk, run, and put out
fires - to name a few."
While robot competitions have a long history in varying
parts of the world, RoboGames is the only event to bring all
robot competitions together at the same place and time. Says
Calkins: "Our goal is to educate. But not just to educate
non-robot builders about robots; we also want to cross-
polinate. Too often, robot builders over-specialize. At
RoboGames, they get a chance to meet roboticists from other
disciplines. Vision guys hang out with motion engineers.
Machinists meet AI experts. They all come away with new
insights and end up better engineers. Meanwhile, they've put
on a heck of a show for the audience! After all, why should
athletes have all the fun?"
This second annual international unified ROBOlympic
competition includes:
* ROBOT SOCCER - Cubes, Aibos, and
humanoid robots go for the goal using advanced artificial
intelligence.
* ROBO-ONE - Bipedal humanoid robots capable of wrestling
up to delicate tasks like door opening and one-legged
balancing.
* COMBAT ROBOTS - Made famous by TV,
robots fight it out in the RoboGames' version of boxing.
Always spectacular, always a crowd pleaser, always noisy,
and always resulting in robots coming apart...
* RIBBON CLIMBER - Autonomous robots climb thin ribbons
using solar power.
* MAZE SOLVING - Robots teach themselves how to get out of
maze. Fastest one out wins.
* EXO-SKELETON - Contestants build human-assisted metal
exoskeletons that compete in lifting, and carrying
contests.
* FIRE-FIGHTING - Robots find fires and put them out - an
upcoming home technology.
* ART BOTS - A fusion of hard science and artistic beauty
- from musical bots to non-functional sculpture.
* ROBOMAGELLAN - Remember the DARPA Grand Challenge?
Autonomous robots find their way across campus!
* ROBOT SUMO - The major robot sport of Japan, promises
thrills aplenty as the automatons knock each other out of a
one-meter sumo circle.
* HEXAPOD CHALLENGE - Watch as six-legged robots scurry
across the challenging rink to determine who's the best
bug!
* BIPED RACE - Androids make the 50 yard dash an obsolete
sport.
* THE LINE SLALOM - Robots negotiate their path along a
curving line.
* LEGO CHALLENGE - Kids and adults test their programming
skills in timed laps around courses of increasing
complexity.
* B.E.A.M. - These tiny analog robots will amaze you as
they crawl and evolve before your eyes
* AIBO PERFORMER - Competitors program their Aibos to
perform tricks or routines.
* ROBOT TRIATHLON - Just like the human version, Robots
complete a three-stage race: legs, wheels, and water. This
may be the most difficult robot contest ever. Robot
Triathlon was invented just for this event!
* BEST OF SHOW - Those bots that don't fit into other
classes get their chance to shine here!
SPONSORS NEEDED:
Several of the teams are University-based and still
seeking funding to be able to make it to the games. Teams
from Japan, Korea, Canada, Germany, Brazil, Israel, Iran,
and other nations Would like the opportunity to compete, but
they need sponsorship help. RoboGames and the RSA are still
seeking sponsors to help pay their flights, robot shipping,
and housing while in San Francisco. Sponsorship
opportunities abound and the level of press form last year's
event (CNN, USA Today, Wired, Radio Toyota, all four
networks, etc.) guarantee a high level of visibility of
sponsor logos.
Robotics is becoming the new lifestyle sport of the
thinking age. The Renaissance had classical music, we have
hi-powered DC motors. RoboGames is the channel by which it
becomes validated and showcased to widely diverse audience.
An audience with both a voice and a higher than average
disposable income. The games are still looking for sponsors
- companies or groups should contact sponsors@RoboGames.net
if they would like to become an event sponsor and garner
publicity, gratitude, and a tax-deductible donation that
helps more people gain access to robotics.
Proceeds from the event will help support SFSU and
robotics education.
