In this contest competitors are asked to expand a starter kit with weapons and armour to create the ultimate Battle Bot. Contest is open to NUIG Students and now also other Colleges (a fee of 20Eur applies per team not sponsored by NUIG).
Compsoc is supplying a starter kit to make your Bot for a deposit of €40 for NUIG Students (deposit is refunded if you compete in the contest with a Bot made using the kit):
- A two channel interchangeable frequency RC Truck
Students of other colleges may use their own equipment or equivalent starter kits (we advise channel changeable, 1:10 to 1:16 model, rc cars) to build robots if it complies with the rules of Botwars and you have agreed a frequency with NUIG Compsoc.
The robots will battle on the 23rd January in Compsoc's Arena in the Bank of Ireland Theatre, Aras Na Mac Leinn, NUIG.
