BattleBots (also "formerly" known as Comedy Central Sports Presents Battlebots) is a robot fighting competition (as in other combat robot competitions) where competitors bring remote-controlled, armored and weaponed machines which they have designed and built, and put them in an arena to fight in an elimination tournament. The purpose of the fight is for one robot, or "bot", to dominate or disable the other. Not only are the robots at the mercy of their opponents' weaponry, but several obstacles on the battlefield will also damage them.
