Join the best fighting robots in the country doing what they do best – thrashing, crashing, smashing and obliterating each other inside our specially built bulletproof robot arena. Yeah, this is what they used to have on TV, but it’s way better live – the sights, the sounds, the smells, the NOISE. Mm, noise.
