I recently visited the Canton Hacker and Maker Place. What a cool makerspace with more machines, tools, and gadgets crammed into large space. They offer tools like 3D printers, laser cutters, table saws, lathes, band saws, drill presses, vinyl cutters, CNC machines and so much more. But more importantly, CHAMP as a group of people not just a place. CHAMP offers classes to members and the public on things from learning how to solder, to jewelry making, to archery.
One of their popular activities the monthly BattleBots tournament! CHAMP has started hosting fairy-weight class battlebot competitions. These are open to the public to watch or compete. The competitions are held every first Sunday of the month. Want to participate? Sign up is between 6pm and 6:30pm. They not only hold battle competitions but do other challenges also, such as team soccer matches and a first-person-view maze.
