Welcome to the Robojackets Battle Bots wiki!

Description

"The box is locked, The lights are on, It's robot fighting time!" That annoucement signals a rush of adrenaline to shurge through the veins of two competitors like nitrous oxide shot into the cylinders of a big block V8. These competitors fight, at times, to the death; but not with each other, instead, with their robots. I'm not talking about your ordinary R2D2, but creations from hell that make even the strongest man squeal like a pig.

The world of robotic combat is a lot more than just engineering a r/c unit. It's an art, where people (men, women, doctors, lawyers, teachers, etc.) take their deepest fears, desires and dreams, and mold it into a Battlebot. A creation that everyone fears, and yet at the same time everyone loves. These beasts are the future athletes of the world, in the sport the robotic combat.

Battlebots is an online competition in which two robots fight gladiator style, at times, to the death. The robots are limited to weight and weapon type. The classes range from 50 gram robots to 340 pounds.
