A night of robot fighting and live music.

LIVE ROBOT FIGHTING, 18:00

Purpose-built machines do battle in a specially-constructed arena with the aim of immobilising each other
It's just like Robot Wars except the robots there weighed 110kg while the ones tonight weigh 150g
Full tournament (gold medal), rumble (silver medal) and side event (3v3 fights)
Open arena from 19:35 - have a go on a robot yourself
Battles soundtracked live by a drummer

We also sell kits to build your own robot - just add tools and imagination

Eli Gumble
The night's host and a pretty good singer-songwriter, making some very unique songs. Prepare your bingo cards for looped guitar, heavy overdrive, crazy-sounding ringer pedals, stylophone solos, prop comedy, softer acoustic ballads and completely off-the-wall synthpop, J-pop and reggaeton songs with dance routines. Lyrics have received praise for their thoughtful crafting. You have to see it to understand it and this is the best place to see it.
