Inaugural 22 November 2026
Bad robots welcome
Hebocon is a contest for robots built by people with no technical skill. The robots are meant to be terrible. One that spins helplessly in a circle beats one that works.
Makeramai Makerspace, Plaza Merdeka, Kuching, Sarawak

One email when the date is confirmed and entries open. Nothing else.
Robots
Cardboard, slippers, biscuit tins, one wobbly motor and hope. Every entry is photographed and catalogued like a serious product, because that is funnier.
Rules
A 100 by 50 centimetre plywood ring. First robot out loses. Tip over and you lose. Anything clever costs you six points a match.
Play
Heboi Rumble puts the whole contest in your browser. Build badly, drive badly, get shoved out of the ring by a brick.
Workshops
Turn up with nothing and leave with a robot — no separate ticket, it comes with your team entry.
“Do not get caught up on winning. The point is the robots are bad.”

Nothing here yet — this is the first Hebocon Sarawak. Build something terrible and you will be in next year's grid.
Robots from other Hebocon chapters around the world — not this year's entries. Sarawak's first go here once they exist.
A chapter, not a franchise
Hebocon started in Japan in 2014 and has since run in more than twenty-five countries. There is no licence to buy and no fee to pay — anyone willing to follow the format can run one. Hebocon Sarawak is a community chapter under that model.
The first Sarawak edition is in November 2026 at Makeramai Makerspace in Plaza Merdeka, Kuching. Watching costs nothing. Entering costs very little and requires no skill whatsoever, which is the point.
