About Mayhem Arena
We are building the world's first purpose-built robot combat arena — coming to Northern Virginia in early 2027.
Born from a Love of
Robots and Chaos.
Mayhem Arena was founded by a team of robotics engineers, event producers, and entertainment industry veterans who shared one belief: robot combat is the most exciting sport nobody gets to watch live.
Inspired by BattleBots, Formula 1 pit culture, and esports arenas, we are designing a venue from the ground up to deliver the ultimate spectator experience. Every seat will have a perfect view. Every battle will shake the ground.
But we want more than entertainment. We are building STEM programs that use robot combat as a gateway to engineering education, guest-piloted experiences that put real controls in your hands, and a place where technology, competition, and community come together.
Opening early 2027 in Northern Virginia. Join the waitlist to be first in the door.

What Drives Us
Innovation
We are building entertainment technology that has never existed before — a purpose-built arena where robot combat is the main event, not an afterthought.
Competition
Fair fights, clear rules, real stakes. We believe competition brings out the best in people, whether in the arena or in life.
Education
From day one, STEM programs will be woven into the fabric of Mayhem Arena — inspiring the next generation of engineers through hands-on robotics.
Community
We are building more than a venue. We are creating a gathering place for robotics fans, builders, families, and companies who love technology and great experiences.
The Path to Opening Day
Mayhem Arena concept developed by a team of robotics engineers and entertainment industry veterans who shared a single belief: robot combat is the most exciting sport nobody gets to watch live.
Core founding team assembled. Arena design and guest experience blueprinted from the ground up — every seat with a perfect sightline, every battle amplified by professional lighting and sound.
Northern Virginia selected as the launch market. Site secured. Venue design finalized with ~90 arena seats plus a 30-40 seat bar lounge, an 18×18-foot fully enclosed polycarbonate combat arena, full food and bar service, and dedicated STEM lab space.
Construction underway. Robot fleet commissioned. STEM curriculum developed in partnership with regional schools. Corporate events program designed. Staff recruitment begins.
Mayhem Arena opens its doors in Northern Virginia. Founding members get first access to tickets, pilot experiences, corporate packages, and STEM programs. The future of live entertainment is here.
