Battle bots are fun for all ages with people using their wildest imagination and taking lots of time to prepare their robots for the arena. Some contenders take days to build their bots while other take years to master their craft.
Once bots are complete, roboteers prepare for competitions where they are given three minutes to smash each other out of the ring.
Contenders say they love the environment and community of the niche sport.
