Remember BattleBots? The TV show where two remote controlled robots would enter a weaponized arena and fight it out for 3 minutes or until one stopped moving. The name "Bots High" is a combination of "Robots" and "High School".
Well, even though the show ended, the competitions have continued. More so, there’s a whole high school division where teams of high school students build and compete with the same size robots and rules of BattleBots, and that’s what Bots High is about.
Bots High is a documentary that will follow multiple high school teams in South Florida throughout the school year as they design, build, and then compete in the BattleBots National Championship in April 2010. Think Mad Hot Ballroom with robots.
RobotShop is currently a sponsor of the documentary. Here is a video teaser:
