Billed as “The World’s Largest Robot Competition,” Robogames returns to San Francisco, CA for a 6th year of rampaging robot mayhem. Besides the 3 days of awesome official action, there are a number of special pre-game events all this month that fans and fanatics might want to check out.
Mon, May 18th – Terminator:Salvation
One of the perks of being the last up against the wall when the revolution
comes is all the cool free stuff, and RoboGames is happily passing along
the pre-apocalyptic joy to you! The first 100 people to buy two tickets to
RoboGames 2009 will receive a complimentary pair of passes to the
“Terminator: Salvation” sneak preview! Lots of the usual legalese applies
– see web page for details. Tickets are NOT guaranteed. First come, first
served. They’ll be gone by tomorrow.
$40 includes 2 tickets to RoboGames and two passes to T:S sneak preview.
