OnePlus released a teaser for an announcement a few days ago. Prior to the release of the teaser, the official OnePlus UK twitter account had stated they were working on a project that is neither a phone nor a commercial product. Fast forward to today and OnePlus has announced “Snowbots” which are actually snowball-firing robots that are controlled by 5G phones. Doesn’t sound exciting? There is more.
OnePlus didn’t just make robots that fire snowballs. It has actually organized a snowball fight, one that you can partake in from the comfort of your home, or if you are lucky, you can be one of 18 people chosen to fly to Lapland, Finland, to witness the battle in person.
The snowbots are actually powered by OnePlus 5G phones. To partake in the Snowbot Battle, all you need is a phone with a good Wi-Fi connection or 5G network. You will get one chance to control one of four snowbots in Lapland in a team battle. The snowbots actually fire at over 120mph according to OnePlus.
The battle begins at 2PM (Finnish time) on March 9 and runs till midnight on March 12. The battle will go on 24 hours a day, so everyone gets a chance to play.
There is a queue system, so the earlier you register, the better. You will also need to be ready as it may be your turn to play at any time.
If you do not mind a trip to Finland with a friend, all you have to do is post your response to the questions below in the official thread created for the competition:
- Why I want to experience Snowbots in Lapland:
- Who my friend is:
- Which European country we’re from:
To be selected, you must meet the following conditions too:
- You must live in Europe
- You must be available to travel to Finland from March 8 to March 10
OnePlus says you only have 24 hours to enter. The deadline is 11 AM GMT, so hurry.
