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.

🤖 Event Highlights

• Robot Play Zone: An open-floor sandbox for robots of all shapes and sizes. Watch everything from humanoids to custom spider-bots navigate the frozen terrain.
• Robot Races: A chance to see different robots go head-to-head as they race each other across the ice.
• RC Hands-On Racing: Get behind the controls! We’re hosting open RC racing sessions where you can test your own driving skills on the ice.
