HISTORY -October 28, 1989: Birth of the Battle Bots
In the late 1980s something special happened in Denver. A group of Sci-Fi nerds and robotics enthusiasts said to themselves “You know what would be awesome? Fighting robots.” and the first Battle Bot arena was born. Wired magazine shares an interesting look back at the first time robot enthusiasts pitted their creations against themselves. In 1989, at the MileHiCon, they changes the rules of engagement from merely showing off your robot to enrolling it in gladiatorial combat. “This year, all of that will change radically and violently,” wrote event organizer Bill Llewellin in a pre-convention mailing. “The winner will be the last critter standing (rolling, crawling) on the field of combat.”Years later we’d have Robot Wars and BattleBots, all inspires by the intervening decades of hobbyists toiling at home and continuing the tradition started at MileHiCon. Hit up the link below to read the full article at Wired for more fun history. Oct. 28, 1989: Critter Crunch, Mother of All Robot Battles [Wired] Thanks to Jason Fitzpatrick
