Kickoff Night - Aggressive Machines Battleboat Buildathon
Two weeks. One pool. Autonomous boats that shoot back.
Kickoff Night opens the Battleboat Buildathon, the first edition of Aggressive Machines. It's a new quarterly hardware hackathon series from Frontier Machines.
Over the following two weeks, teams of 3–5 will design, 3D print, wire and program small autonomous boats armed with BB launchers. On Sunday 13 December they battle it out in our test pool.
What happens tonight
The challenge, the rules and the prizes, explained
Team forming. Came solo? We'll match you with a crew
Kit collection for registered teams: motors, batteries, camera, BBs and more
A first look at the Lab and the Oven, where the boats get built and tested
Food, drinks and builders from across Tallinn's hardware scene
Who it's for - Registered builders, plus anyone curious about hardware, robotics and autonomy. You don't need to be competing to come along.
Want to compete? Entry is free. Apply at aggressivemachines.com/battleboat-buildathon. Registering on Luma gets you into the ceremony. It is not your hackathon application.
