FightFest is back for Smart Manufacturing Week 2027, powered by Accu, and this year we are taking things to the next level.
Following an unforgettable debut from Accu in 2026, FightFest returns as the world’s only B2B robot fighting event, bringing together the excitement of Robot Wars with the engineering precision and competitive intensity of Formula 1.
Sponsors will work directly with Accu’s expert engineers to create their own custom fighting robot, choosing everything from the weapon system and shape to the brand colours. Across two action-packed days, the machines will go head-to-head in a purpose-built, bulletproof arena in a series of intense three-minute battles.
For 2027, FightFest will sit at the heart of Maintec, where maintenance, reliability and engineering under pressure come to life. Between battles, visitors will be able to see the repair crews at work in an immersive open workshop, diagnosing damage, making repairs and getting the machines ready to fight again.
With thousands of manufacturing and engineering professionals attending Smart Manufacturing Week, live commentary and dedicated filming throughout the event, FightFest offers far more than traditional sponsorship. It is a live engineering spectacle designed to generate conversations, content and lasting brand visibility.
