Geek out with Dad


All our dad's have probably had enough of the typical Dad's day celebrations - golf, naps, us mowing the lawn for them, things like that. This year, why not try something a little out of the norm - and probably most appealing to those dads you've been giving sci-fi books to for his birthday each year - a trip to RoboGames at Fort Mason. As they say on their website:
RoboGames is the world's largest open robot competition (even the Guinness Book of World Records says so!) We invite the best minds from around the world to compete in over 70 different events. Combat robots, walking humanoids, soccer bots, sumo bots, and even androids that do kung-fu. Some robots are autonomous, some are remote controlled - but they're all cool!

Events include Fire-Fighting, Lego Challenge, Sumo Figthing, Bartending, Botsketball, Kung Fu, Weightlifting and more!
