A "tasty introduction" to robotics. We bring the arena, the bots, and the chaos directly to you. Inspired by the fact that kids and adults alike go completely crazy for this, our events combine intense entertainment with STEM-based education. Players use standard RC and conventional video game controllers to flip, throw, and roll opponent robots into the arena pit.
Perfect for festivals, parties, or large gatherings, our Robot Rumbles let you step behind the glass and operate real machines. Matches are fully organized and refereed by a Flatline Robotics operator.
Free-for-all arena battles where chaos reigns supreme. These quick, 2-minute matches feature an operator-managed queue, allowing for unlimited participants. Ideal for ages 6 to 99.
Coordinated group combat relying on tactical team strategies. Work together with your squad to outmaneuver and destroy the opposing team's machinery.
Pre-defined, bracket-style matches to crown an ultimate champion. Supports up to 12 participants per hour and is recommended for ages 9 to 99. Requires participant names ahead of time.
For small groups of older kids (12+) or serious technical adults looking for an intensive team-building event, we offer multi-hour and multi-day engineering challenges.
Unlike the Robot Rumbles, you keep the robot you build.All classes include instruction, tools, necessary materials, workspace, and a final private systems test battle in the arena against your build-mates.
Plus, every Build & Battle participant receives free entry to a future Flatline Robotics or Panther City Robotics open competition!
A multi-day operation for serious builders, starting at $500 per participant.
Note on Larger Robots:Full combat 1lb and 3lb custom design classes typically require a gap between design and assembly due to custom manufacturing lead times. If you need a time-constrained event, we can limit designs to in-house fabricated parts.
Even Larger Robots: Call us.
Group Discounts:We offer discounts for schools or organizations (e.g., 10% off for groups of 10+ participants).
Currently, all Flatline Robotics events are handled through a high-touch manual coordination process to ensure your site can safely accommodate our heavy-duty arena.
Contact us via the form or email. We'll discuss your date, expected participant count, and venue type (indoor/outdoor).
Once the site logistics are confirmed (14'x12' clear space), a 50% deposit is required to lock your date into the battle calendar.
48 hours before the event, provide final headcount. Our crew arrives 60 minutes early for arena setup and systems check.
Fill out the form below or email us directly at info@flatlinerobotics.com to start the process.
We are currently developing a tactical booking engine to allow for real-time slot selection and automated deposit fulfillment. Stay tuned for v2.0 deployment.
