Syamorobo-con! シャモロボコンin Kawamata

Last weekend we have been to Kawamata-machi in Fukushima prefecture to do Syamorobo-con!

Syamorobo-con! is Fighting rooster robot competition.

Children in Kawamata town made robots and fight with them.

Syamorobo-con! is held as one event in annual town festival ‘Kawamata Syamo Festival.’

The event have started in 2013 spring and this one is 3rd one.

We have prepared for this event since June.
