The event: the Professional/Amateur Pinball Association’s 13th World Pinball Championships, A Division. The machine: Creature From The Black Lagoon. The prize: $US10,000. The best part: they rest the ball on the flippers for a breather just like you do. More »
This year’s Robogames takes place this weekend (formerly ROBOlympics – no doubt got their butts whipped by the IOC) in San Francisco, with more than 70 robotic competitions taking place. Sports, races, and LOTS of combat – not just Robot Wars style, but even wrestling! Aussie competitors have often been unstoppable in the soccer tournament – can anyone fill us in on any of the Aussies who’ll be in the running this year?
Best of luck to them all. Lots of info at the official site. -Seamus Byrne More »
