The might of the robots is limited only by the imagination and finances of their creators. It's a tournament like no other, as robots have to balance brute strength, weight, and lightning-quick reactions, or they might find themselves flipped from the frenzy straight to the scrap yard. The series starts on April 28th.

During each match, the opposing robots try to inflict damage upon, and ultimately disable, their opponent. At the end of the match, the crowd (and an impartial judge) decides which robot has inflicted more damage on its opponent. The winner progresses to the next round.
