Robots On Ice 2026
Robots on Ice is Back! | April 25, 2026
The wait is over. After a brief hiatus, Robots on Ice returns on Saturday, April 25, 2026, to tackle the ultimate engineering challenge: zero friction. Join us as the robotics community gathers to see which machines can keep their balance—and which are destined for a spectacular wipeout.
