The ROBOTALES Automation Archives are under attack!

For years, the librarians, computer scientists, and storytellers at Automation Archives have been collecting all the stories ever told on PLANET-CodeX in order to protect these stories for future generations to read and learn from. But now the future of these stories is under threat as EvilCorp prepares to force a global system purge of these stories. The SHTEAM Punks are looking for a new generation of Memory Keepers to protect robotic history by saving these stories and writing new ones.

In this high-stakes camp, you’ll master “The Spike” (Robotic Engineering) and the craft of “The Script” (creative storytelling) to build an unhackable performance. From Robot Cosplay to advanced programming, help us ensure our stories survive the corporate blackout. Will your tale survive the wipe?

No previous experience is required.
