Robot Contest at Niku no Mansei

11.08.2008 by Klopz via AKIBA Today

Tsukumo plans on holding a special robot event on August 23. and and 24. including a competitive contest meaning great news for Tokyo's robot fanatics.

Despite the location not appearing to be in any relation to robots, after all "niku no mansei" is host to a big number of restaurants, the event seems to be organized in a rather normal fashion. There will be three stages of events every day with the first one being the robot contest across various disciplines. The second one includes the observation of the latest robot developments and the third one actually teaches the audience about the assembly, guiding first timers into producing their very own robot.

Visitors will also have the chance to control some of the top developed robots and a tie-up with the movie Iron Man (in theaters September 27.) guarantees entertainment even for small children.
