A Robotic Rodeo
This ain't a dog & pony show. It's a bona fide, high-stakes competition — where the robotics world stops talking and starts drawing.

The Manifesto
"The robotics world has plenty of demos. Clanker Corral is where we find out who's actually quick on the draw."
We hear a lot of marketing in this industry. Polished keynotes. Cherry-picked demos. Curated benchmarks. Clanker Corral was born from a simple idea: build a real arena — a local watering hole for the community — and see who rides in.
This is the Robot Olympics, reimagined as a high-noon rodeo. Multi-tiered live showdowns, peer judging, real stakes. Locomotion, manipulation, autonomy, HRI — if you've got game, this is your stage.
Clanker Corral is not a panel session. Not a pitch. It's a reckoning. Brought to you by Rayo Entertainment — who believe the only way to move an industry forward is to put real skin in the game.
