Hi,

My name is Sarah and Im with a group called Hazard Factory that produces an event called the Seattle Power Tool Race & Derby.

We are bringing our races to Robodock in Amsterdam in 2 weeks, and would love to see racers submitted from all over Europe.I would love to see some fighting robot racers!

You can find out more about our event by watching this video from MAKE magazine which also explains how to build a racer:
