BattleBots: Champions

The journey to the Golden Bolt starts now with the first Sin City Slugfest; eight robots will enter, but only one will punch its ticket to the Tournament of Champions; every fight is win or go home.

BattleBots Champions: Sin City Slugfest continues. It's a high-stakes, one-night bracket of death where eight of the top combat robots in the sport will go head to head, all vying to punch their ticket into the exclusive tournament of Champions. Flywheel Flipper Blip, kinetic killers Black Dragon, Fusion and MadCatter, Horizontal horror shows Bloodsport, Malice and Hijinx and the King of Control Whiplash will need to run the gauntlet and win three fights to advance to the prestigious Golden Bolt tournament.

Get ready for bracket three of the BattleBots' Sin City Slugfest! Tonight's bots run the gamut from seasoned veterans like Gary Gin's Free Shipping and John Reid's Bet down to fresh bots from last year's exhibition matches like Double Tap and Slammo! Remember, the winner of this single-elimination gauntlet earns a bid into the Golden Bolt Tournament of Champions, where they will face winners of other slugfests, plus our three most recent Giant Nut winners: SawBlaze, Tantrum, and End Game. Who wants a chance at the Golden Bolt? Who's gonna win three fights in one night? We're about to find out.

Eight new hopefuls throw down the gauntlet to compete for one solitary spot in the Tournament of Champions. If they survive to win tonight's Slugfest, they'll face three legendary BattleBots Champions and all the Slugfest winners in the final Champions tournament. Their goal is the glittering new trophy: the Golden Bolt! Tonight's winner must get through three grueling elimination rounds featuring the toughest competition imaginable -- including Cobalt, with its vicious vertical weapon; Jackpot, the hometown heroes from Vegas; and Canada's premier flip bot, Lucky. A winner takes all, and the loser gets nothing. It's the ultimate raw fight to the death.

It's the final Slugfest, and tonight the final place in the field of Champions will be decided. It's a relentless, one-night bracket of death where some of the biggest names in combat robotics will go head to head, all vying to punch the last remaining ticket into the exclusive Golden Bolt tournament. Claw Viper, Shatter, Monsoon, Gruff, Ripperoni, Glitch, HyperShock and Starchild must run the gauntlet and win three fights to advance to the final. Only one warrior will emerge victorious and continue their relentless pursuit of one of the most revered prizes in the world of combat robotics: the legendary Golden Bolt!

It’s Champion fighting time! BattleBots: Champions reaches its epic conclusion as eight elite robots fight through each other to hoist one of the crown jewels of robot combat: the Golden Bolt. Three renowned Champions -- title-holder End Game, Tantrum and current World Champion SawBlaze -- enter the BattleBox to face the five winners of the Sin City Slugfest qualifying rounds. They are all Champions now, but there can only be one winner. To hoist the trophy, they’ll need to survive three grueling fights against the best opposition in the sport. Let the Golden Bolt battle begin!
