The UNC Charlotte Combat Robot Club is hosting the Charlotte Robot Rumble on Saturday, April 18, 2026, from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., at Belk Gym, at UNC Charlotte, 8911 University Road, Charlotte, North Carolina.
Come and watch 72 combat robots fight to the death in a fascinating day-long destructive double-elimination tournament. There will be 140 fights in all.
Robots will battle it out in an 8-foot cage of bulletproof glass and metal for two minutes, or until one robot is dead (not moving.)
This event is free for everyone (students and non-students.) This is a great activity for families of all ages. No tickets are required.
Last year’s Robot Rumble completely filled the gym and this year there is expanded capacity.
Charlotte Robot Rumble is part of NC Science Festival.
