This Father's Day weekend, RISE Robotics is opening its lab doors to celebrate dads, families, and the cutting-edge tech behind the World’s Strongest Robotic Arm.

 
Visitors can watch the arm lift a full-size electric truck every hour, tour the facility, and engage with interactive demos—including the record-breaking Beltdraulic SuperJammer Arm and the Beltdraulic-powered “Not Your Dad’s Liftgate.”

Kids can enjoy robot-themed coloring activities while parents sip locally roasted Beantrust coffee and grab a bite to eat. Guided HQ tours offer a behind-the-scenes look at how RISE is building the future of clean, powerful, zero-emission machines. The event is free with RSVP and perfect for curious kids, proud parents, and anyone fascinated by how things work.

Limited parking is available; public transit or ride-sharing is recommended.
