From the Publisher

"BattleBots®", and live BattleBots® competitions are the latest craze for inventors and tech-savvy spectators. It's no surprise that there's an increasing interest in these radio-controlled robots that can weigh up to 408 pounds with weapons such as rotary saw-blades, spikes, hammers, and other destructive tools, that are either reduced to scrap metal or emerge victorious in the competitions.

With exclusive interviews and hundreds of full-colour photographs,
this book presents the history of robots and
robotic competition, including biographies and
unique stories of famous builders, as well as the history
of the BattleBots® organization itself and biographical
information on founders Trey Roski and Greg Munson.
