All of these robots will be competing in the Robot Rumble. There’s still time to place your bets on the next champion robot!
Kinetic Steam Works built a gigantic steam engine to power all kinds of things from letter presses to water fountains!
Retro Roadshow rocking the vintage video games on machines from the 70s 80s and 90s. Warm fuzzies seeing the old Atari 2600 console and 800 personal computer!
