HexBugs work by vibrating, which causes them to move sporadically and unpredictably, similar to the insects they were modeled after.

San Francisco The robot builders left behind in San Francisco formed BattleBots, Inc. and began a series of larger competitions. The first was held in Long Beach, California in August 1999 and streamed online, attracting 40,000 streams.

1) What is BattleBots? BattleBots is a competition of all-out destruction in which robots go head-to-head in an enclosed combat arena. The robots are armed with a catastrophic variety of weapons, such as saws, flamethrowers, and hammers, with the goal of disabling or destroying the opposing robot.

For smaller combat robots, it's typical to use a single battery pack, but for larger robots, often two or more separate batteries provide power for the drive system and weapon system, often because the two operate at different voltages to better suit the higher speed motors used for weapon systems.

Your BattleBot has a “tank style” controller. When you push on the left control stick, the left drive system will engage, and when you push on the right control stick, the right drive system will engage.
