SUMMARY:Manitoba Robot Games 2026
DESCRIPTION:Written by Winnipeg for Free \n🤖 Winnipeg’s Best Kept STEM Secret\nIf you’re looking for something to do with the family that isn’t just another trip to the mall\, you’ve gotta mark your calendars for Saturday\, April 25. \nI’ve been following the Manitoba Robot Games for a while now\, and honestly? It’s one of the coolest things happening in the city. Think of it like a high-tech track meet\, but with more gears and slightly less running. \nIt’s held right in the Hornet Dome at Tec-Voc (1555 Wall Street)\, and—in true Winnipeg fashion—it’s completely free for spectators to walk in and watch. \n\n\n🚀 What’s the Vibe?\nIt’s basically a massive day of robots battling it out. There are 17 different competitions happening\, and the energy is wild. \nYou’ll see everything from: \n\n“Mini-Sumo” (where robots try to shove each other out of a ring)\nTechnical challenges where they have to solve problems on the fly\n\nThe best part? It’s all local students and hobbyists who’ve spent months hunched over soldering irons and laptops. \nThere are even cash prizes on the line\, so the “pit areas” get pretty intense when a motor decides to quit five minutes before a match! \n📅 The Quick Lowdown:\nDate: Saturday\, April 25\, 2026\nTime: 8:30 AM to 4:00 PM\nLocation: Tec-Voc High School (The Hornet Dome)\, 1555 Wall St.\nAdmission: Free for spectators \n\n\n👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Why It’s Worth the Trip\nIf you’ve got kids who are obsessed with Minecraft\, LEGO\, or just like taking things apart\, this is a total “spark” moment. \nIt’s one thing to watch a robot on YouTube\, but seeing a local kid troubleshoot a sensor issue in real-time is super inspiring. \nIt’s a great way to support our community’s young innovators without spending a dime (which we love). \n💡 Pro Tips: \n\nDon’t be shy: Ask teams about their robots—most love sharing how they work.\nStick around for the finals: The excitement builds throughout the day.\nWant to compete? Early bird registration closes April 15.\n\nIf you need more info or want to sign up\, you can contact Herb Reynolds at 204-668-3116 or herb@robotgames.ca. \n\nUpcoming Events
