Here at Scot-Bots HQ, we are eggs-tremely pleased to announce that we will be appearing at the Glasgow Science Centre over the Easter weekend this year! From Friday 29th - Sunday 31st March, our full-size arena and Scot-Bots robots will be in action at the Science Centre and are open to anyone young and old who would like to come along and have a shot at operating a robot. Test your driving abilities by navigating around our obstacle course in the fastest time. Prove that you€™re the Lionel Messi of the robot world by scoring a wondergoal in robo-football. Watch hardened competitors of the featherweight combat category strut their stuff and get up close and technical with the workings of some weird and wonderful machines!
The Scot-Bots feature will be running from 12pm - 4pm each day (with the exception of Friday, when the centre closes at 3pm). Doors to the centre open at 10am each day and admission prices are £9.95 for adults and £7.95 for children/concessions/students etc. This covers you for the entire Science Mall so there are plenty of attractions and exhibits to keep you entertained alongside ourselves.
The centre generally sees numbers of 1500-2000 each day over the Easter weekend, so it will be a very busy few days but we are relishing the challenge! Updates and more information will follow in the lead-up to the event. We hope to see you there!
So MoBot and Usain Bot will be slugging it out on the robotic football pitch next weekend, but we felt that 1v1 was just a little sparse, so we drafted in some team-mates. Had hoped to make another couple and have 2v2 consisting entirely of the smaller machines but limited time and resources scuppered that. Not to worry though, each player is ready to go
Pilgrim appeared at the Digital Makers Faire today at GSC and was the first story on this evening STV Glasgow broadcast, it will also be on STV Scotland's news at 6 in half an hours time!
