A battlebot is literally just a remote control car with weapons attached.
There's not really any intelligent engineering going on.

There is. You have to in order to defend and kill properly. The main problem is that most people use the first idea off the top of their head and thing it will win because it is, "my idea!". The ones that have been intelligently designed are instantly apparent.

The in-house robots got to be bigger and heavier and use stuff the contestants weren't allowed, like petrol tanks.

That video shows a contestant robot showing the producers how it's done.

I was always surprised by Razer and how well it did against pretty much everything, even flippers.
