Hebocon mHUB: Chicago's Crappy Robot Building Competition
Get an inside look at the nuts and bolts of mHUB's annual Hebocon event, which was held for the first time since 2017 on May 20, 2023.
At Hebocon, builders of all ages, backgrounds, and skill levels were tasked with creating “crappy” robots to battle against each other in sumo-style competitions. Attendees could build and battle bots for fun on an open battlefield or compete in the official Hebocon mHUB Tournament for a cash prize.
This year, Trossen Robotics and Gennflex, Inc. also partnered with mHUB to set up demos at the event showcasing practical and industry applications of robotics.
