About Robo Riots: Ireland’s Live Robot Entertainment Event

Robo Riots is one of Ireland’s most unusual live entertainment experiences, bringing spectacular combat robots, famous robotic characters and high-energy family entertainment to Dublin.

Taking place on 3 and 4 October 2026, Robo Riots gives audiences the chance to see powerful heavyweight robots battle live in the arena while also getting close to remarkable machines and meeting the people who build and operate them.

Live robot battles in Dublin

At the heart of Robo Riots is live robot combat. Heavyweight machines built by teams from Ireland and beyond compete in dramatic three-minute bouts where engineering, strategy and reliability are tested under pressure.

Expect monster matchups, robot rumbles, exhibition fights and battles featuring legendary machines associated with Robot Wars, alongside newcomers to the sport.

A family day out for robot and technology fans

Robo Riots is designed for people looking for something genuinely different to do in Dublin. It combines live entertainment, engineering, technology and spectacle, making it an unusual choice for families, teenagers, robot fans and anyone fascinated by how incredible machines are built.

More than combat robots

The event also features famous character robots and special guests. Previous Robo Riots events have included robots and characters such as R2-D2, a Dalek, a Minecraft Creeper and AL-1X.

More than two decades of live robot events

For more than two decades, Mechatrons has organised live robot events in Ireland. The team behind Robo Riots includes experienced roboteers and people with a long history in Robot Wars and combat robotics.
