Robot Riot West is the little sibling of Robot Riot Chicago and is here to continue the Robot Riot tradition! Robot Riot is a sumo style robot competition that focuses on fun, theatrics, and of course the silliest robots you've ever seen battle it out! With past participants like the Furby-based “Pretty-Boy” and the hotdog-shooting “Chicago Typewriter”, these bots will fight to the end for the gold and for your heart.
We will be holding build hours in preperation of the January 25th event. We'll have plenty of parts for you to rummage through and start buildng / working on your robot. We also encourage you to bring your own parts
Robot Riot West will be holding our first event on January 25th (2026) from 4-6pm at HeatSync Labs (108 West Main St. Mesa, AZ 85201)
