BattleBots is an American robot

combat television series. Competitors


design and operate remote-controlled
armed and armored machines
designed to fight in an arena combat
elimination tournament.
THE TACTICS BEHIND THE FIGHT
Horizontal Spinning: It’s one of the most popular tactics you can
see in a fight. The energy stored on the disk depends on its mass, size
and rotation speed, So it can take a little more time to store more energy
for the hit.

Vertical Spinning Bots: This is a variation of the first one where


the disk spins vertically, there are two variations of this one: Up-spin and
Down-spin according to the direction it spins.
Hammer Bots: This kind of robot has a big and heavy hammer, wich
is used to smash the enemy robot, it’s pretty popular because of its
imposing look. Its disadventage is de angular momentum: Due to its
velocity is low (compared to a spinner). its hammer mass is increased to
deal the more damage on a hit. As consecuence of this, the angular
momentum makes the robot move up and posibly flip every time it hits
with the hammer.

Wedge bots: s The idea of this kind of robot is a slanted bot


that can scuup up under the enemy and throw it to the air and
flip it over, its adventage is that this is a fairly simple robot.
