School is back in session, and that means it’s time to gear up for one of the most exciting events of the year – the annual Robot Brawl!

This year’s showdown will take place on Saturday, October 11th at Embry-Riddle’s ICI Center (Gym). Dozens of teams will battle it out with creativity, engineering, and grit in front of an enthusiastic crowd of students, families, and community leaders.

The Robot Brawl is a multiple-round, single-elimination competition where points are earned by how much damage is inflicted on the other competing robot during each 90-second round that allows spinners, vertical and horizontals, and potentially “fire” (non-damaging sparks). If one robot disables the other robot, it is an automatic win. Students from area high schools enter robots they built for a chance to “brawl” in this competition.

General Admission for Individual – $5

General Admission for Family – $10
