Build It. Fight It. Win It.

Grand River Makerspace is launching its first-ever Combat Robotics Club — and we want you in the Founding Season.

Dead Shaft Delight

Vertical drum spinner

Aggressive, high-damage weapon. Great for builders who want to go on offense.

Plastic Poison

Low profile and mean. Sweeps under opponents and hits hard.

Super Scooper

Lifter

Outmaneuver and flip your opponents. Great for strategic builders.

GRM Combat Robotics Club – Founding Season League Fee

This $50 fee registers you as a competing member for the inaugural Founding Season. One fee per person competing. Spectators and pit crew do not need a league fee.

Your fee covers:
• Official competing membership in GRM's Combat Robotics Club
• Access to all Founding Season matches and events
• Recognition as a Founding Member

Add this to your cart along with your kit. If you are entering more than one bot, add one league fee per competing person.

Want your name on the arena for the entire Founding Season? Every dollar goes directly to building the arena. Choose Bronze ($100), Silver ($200), or Gold ($300) — and we'll put your name or business on it permanently for Year 1.

*NOTE: Upon order completion you will get an order confirmation email with a link to a Google Form to choose your color combos
