II. ASSEMBLING YOUR BATTLEBOT
BattleBots competitors come from all walks of life, from rocket scientists to
junkyard afficionados, but the one thing they all share in common is the desire
to build a better Bot. Let's take a look at how your Bot goes together:

Finally, add the Bot's ablative defenses by attaching them to the body shell as
shown. These pieces are designed to absorb impact and fly apart when the Bot is
struck in combat.

Any BattleBots competitor can tell you, CONTROL is the name of the game. It
doesn't matter how big or how bad your Bot is if you can't drive. Take some
time and practice driving your Bot before you think about competing!
You will notice that your offenses are geared directly into your drive system.
You don't have to do anything special to operate your offenses— just line your
Bot up with the victim, and drive right for him!
