Location:   Outside  Battle Zone   

Last year's popular Axis vs Allies naval combat returns to Maker Faire with even more exciting "Sink or Surrender" events in the outdoor warship combat arena. This year more battles will be scheduled, with something new added: special, hands-on combat events just for kids, featuring R/C boats that launch ping pong balls at targets.

In the adult events, watch 6-foot-long robotic warships duel to the death in a large, specially built pond. Sophisticated DIY robotics and guns fire CO2-powered steel balls. Safe for the whole family. Hands-on exhibits and technology demonstrations provided by the Western Warship Combat Club (WWCC) of San Jose, California.
