Robots do battle this Easter at the Fleet Air Arm Museum

It will be a battle for the survival of the fittest robot this Easter holiday at the Fleet Air Arm Museum. 

Robots from all over the UK will be trundling towards the Fleet Air Arm Museum on April 16 & 17 in an all-out battle to grind, slam and crush the opposition. 

The event is organised by Robo Challenge whose expertise in building robots is regularly seen on TV’s The Gadget Show. 

Many participants of the hit TV show Robot Wars travel from all over the UK to compete with their mechanical warriors behind the bullet proof Robo Challenge Arena.

These jaw dropping machines fall into the “Featherweight” classification of robots but can weigh up to 30 pounds (13.6kg).

The full combat events are unlike any other. Not only is it a unique opportunity to see these deadly, gadget filled machines in battle but audiences get to meet the inventors and ‘bot builders’ behind these awesome creations. 

If that’s not enough, friends and families will get the chance to work as a team to build a real robot and take it into battle. This unique experience teaches the participants how robots work using science and technology and is suitable for ages seven years and upward. So, if you have ever wanted to know what it’s like to be a roboteer, this is the perfect opportunity. 

There is no additional charge to attend and participate in the Robo Challenge event and workshops. Normal Museum admission prices apply. To sign up to a robot building workshop simply apply on the day!
