In the 'BattleBots' series, battles to the death take place between remote-controlled robots. Each season features multiple rounds of battle between robots designed and built by teams of bright minds. The machines face each other in three-minute matches where they must knock out or completely destroy the other in an arena fraught with danger to continue the tournament. The judges decide who wins the round if there is no clear winner. The creators of the last remaining robot win a large cash prize and the ultimate title.
