There will be a World Future Sports Games in our future. It'll be happening in 2017 in Dubai. This tech-focused sports event will feature things like drone races and "robotic swimming, running, wrestling, and car racing." It's basically the Olympics for 'droids. If this becomes a success, the games are expected to happen every two years. The goal with the World Future Sports Games is to improve robotic sports tech. We're not sure if there's a market for that but we are intrigued. Dubai is currently hosting the World Drone Prix.
