Twenty-four of the best robot builders on Earth have set out to compete in the most epic robot competition of all time: BattleBots!
Designed to be fast and fierce, it’s the ultimate test of these amazing machines and the people who build and operate them. Weighing up to 110kg, each ‘bot’ is made from the toughest metal and the cleverest components. In pairs, they go head-to-head inside the BattleBot arena, with the aim of destroying or completely disabling their opponent.
