This competition pits participants against each other, piloting custom designed 1/24th scale robots- armed with Airsoft weapon systems and higher end weapons such as micro rockets, flame throwers and CO2 projectile weapon systems.

Working to pioneer a new era of robotic competition where strategy, skill, and engineering play a major role in each participant’s success, Mech Warfare over the last 5 years has grown to over 30 registered teams from across the globe, with more joining us each year. For up-to-date discussion and to connect with other builders, please visit the Mech Warfare Forums over at the Trossen Robotics Community.

In a sport where details matter as much as they do in RC racing, even the slightest modification can make all the difference. Insight into data such as lap times, connected voltage and ambient car temperature can shave seconds off your finish times. RC4 transponders can be used for both indoor and outdoor racing and will perform on just about any surface.

SHOW SPECIAL!
Trade in and upgrade your old AMB’s or clone transponders to the RC4 Hybrid (2 wire) for $50 each!

Modern day gladiatorial combat featuring battle between two robots in a head-to-head match. Like boxing, the robots are given three full minutes for a round, in which either one of the robots is knocked out, is pushed through the ring out, or the match time runs out, and 3 judges decide the winner. Most anything goes in terms of weapons, excluding water, projectiles, explosives and electrical tasers.

The Construction Zone at RCX will feature highly-detailed, customized, and functional 1:14 and 1:16 scale model trucks. Scale RC trucking requires slow, precise driving skill along with the assembly of a high-quality model. The driving skills required are very different from racing. Instead of requiring fast reflexes, RC trucking requires slow, exact movements and judgment when backing a truck into a loading dock or traveling down a road and making a proper turn.
