What is Battlebots?

The BattleBots program introduces students to robotics by guiding them through the full process of designing and building a 3 lb combat robot from the ground up. Students apply real engineering practices as they integrate mechanical, electrical, and software systems to create a fully functional robot. Each build must follow strict limits for size, weight, power (up to 300W weapons), cost, and build time—mirroring official competition standards.

Schedule: 2 Sessions per week; 2 Hours each (4 Hour build time per week)

  • Timings: Scheduled upon signup

Location: 3820 Windermere Pkwy, Suite 602 (South Forsyth Location)
