NHRL 2024 Season: June 22nd @ Norwalk

ABOUT THIS EVENT

Fight! Robots, Fight! Experience the fast-growing sport of Robot Combat with NHRL. Hundreds of competitors from around the world use intellect and innovation to outfit their bots with multiple dangerous weapons, and duke it out in Havoc-sanctioned cages. Take in the non-stop, up-close action, interactive experiences and festival-like environment, with food trucks, breweries and special surprises at each event.

WHAT IS NHRL?

NHRL (National Havoc Robot League) is the largest and most accessible robot combat league in the world, with 6 events across the year to gain a place at the 3lb, 12lb and 30lb World Championships for a chance to win $1 Million Dollars and a Golden Dumpster at the end of each NHRL season.

You’ll see hundreds of fights at each event across 8 purpose built cages with groundbreaking robots from fully autonomous spinning robots known as Meltybrains, to flamethrower bots which melt their opponents into a pile of molten parts.

Nothing prepares you for the feeling of being cage side when two 30lb robots go head to head.

Builders compete for thousands of dollars in cash prizes, $1MILLION in charitable donations to a charity of their choice and a coveted Golden Dumpster trophy.

Streamed live on YouTube and attended by thousands each year, in person at the House of Havoc in Norwalk, CT.
