BattleBots is an American robot combat television series and company. The show is an adaptation of the American Robot Wars competitions hosted in the mid–late 1990s by Marc Thorpe, in which competitors design and operate remote-controlled armed and armored machines designed to fight in an arena combat elimination tournament. The same competitions inspired the British TV program Robot Wars, which acquired the name in 1995.

Unlike the previous HEXBUG BattleBox, this toy does not feature plastic sections resembling Lexan panels. One of the biggest features of the Arena MAX is the functional sets of screws which are housed at the top of the BattleBox. These feature plastic screws which spin upwards like the real arena hazard, activated by a small gray button between each set. A 'scaled-down' version of the BattleBox was created for the invitation-only 2006 Cisco Party private event in Las Vegas, accommodating specially-invited middleweight robots. This differed in having a rectangular base (16' x 24') and only two Pulverizers located in the arena corners, each operated by team members. The positioning of the red and blue squares was also swapped, with the blue square being placed to the left of the BattleBots logo.

Aside from the altered dimensions, it was largely similar in aesthetic to the Comedy Central-era BattleBox, but had a greatly reduced number of hazards as well as new outline markings for the red and blue squares. The BattleBots IQ (alternately BotsIQ) events used a variety of arenas to stage combat or non-combat tournaments between robots from the Large (120lbs), Mini (15lbs) or TableTop (12lbs) classes. [10] The arena for Large Class competitors initially had a similar aesthetic to its televised counterpart, with hazards for the 2002 Orlando event including the Pulverizers (also referred to simply as the hammers), Killsaws and Spikestrips. From 2004 to 2008, the latter were replaced by spiked bumpers similar to those adopted for the NPC Charity Open and most other events thereafter. [11] [12] Footage from the 2008 event confirms that the Hellraisers returned as an active hazard during this period, and that Mini Class robots also occasionally fought 'grudge matches' inside the Large Class arena.

The rules changed following the victory of a heavyweight stompbot (Son of Whyachi) at BattleBots 3.0. For BattleBots 4.0 and beyond only a 20% weight bonus was given to walkers and the technical rules specified that walking mechanisms do not use cam operated walking mechanisms as they were functionally too similar to wheel operation. Since the rules change, walking robots have entered the competition, but none has achieved any success beyond preliminary rounds. As of 2020, true walkers are given a 100% weight bonus, allowing the only competing walker, Chomp, to weigh 500 pounds.
