ROBOTS: The annual OCAD SUMO Robot Challenge returns today for its seventeenth year. The highly anticipated event features homemade robots going head to head in a fight to the death (death being falling off the platform where the robots fight). There are six levels of difficulty within the challenge in order to give both novice and elite robot builders a fair chance. Funds raised go towards scholarships for OCAD students. Preliminary rounds kick off at 10:30 a.m., but you don't need to show up until 1 p.m. for the main event. More rules and info are available on the challenge's official site. OCAD Auditorium (100 McCaul Street), 9:30 p.m.–4:30 p.m., FREE.
