/ About this event
Silicon Valley's newest robots compete live and YOU pick the winner.
Ten robots from San Francisco's robotics scene take the stage at Frontier Tower. Each gets three minutes to show what it can do: a task, a trick, a dance, a demo that might fail in public.
$4,500 in cash prizes, split between the Jury Prize and the Audience Prize. The audience votes live.
