RICHMOND, Va. (WRIC) -- A local combat robotics organization held its "Turkey Brawl" competition in Richmond on Saturday to determine which robot is the best. The "Turkey Brawl" competition was held at Bethany Place Baptist Church on Saturday, Nov. 23. The event was held by Richmond Area Bot Instigated Destruction (RABID), a nonprofit that advances education and engineering through combat robotics. Corey Lawrence, president of RABID, said about 50 robots competed in the event. "It's a good, fun way to learn STEM," Lawrence said. "Everybody is building their robots, designing their robots, they're fighting them, finding what doesn't work, what does work."

"[It's a] big challenge trying to figure it out, learning how to do all the engineering, [and] as we move up in the classes, learning more about the materials that we are using," Garcia said. "But I think the big payoff is when you get [the robot] into the box, and do the fight, and everything explodes."
