Get involved
Bring the thing you built.
Open bracket entry, exhibition collaboration, or a demo table on the floor. There is no application to be judged and no affiliation required.
Compete
Open bracket
Teleoperated combat, single elimination, published prize pool. You need a machine, a driver and a passed safety inspection.
Perform
Exhibition collaboration
If you work on humanoids or have a platform capable of programmed motion sequences, we want to talk. This is a paid engagement, not an ask for a favour.
Show
Floor demo
Not fighting, but building something worth seeing. Bring it and we will give you a table and an audience.
What you get.
A real audience.
Not a conference hall. People who bought a ticket to see this.
The room.
Investors, press and other builders, in Miami, on the same night.
Your name on it.
We credit the team before the machine, always.
A shot at the pool.
Published prize money that splits down the bracket.
A line into the incubator.
Cafecito Ventures is looking for people to back, and this is the front door.
What we ask.
Show up with something safe. Do not interfere with another team. Be honest about what your machine does and does not do, which is the same standard we hold ourselves to on the exhibition.
