You will notice that your BattleBot controller also features a TURBO button and a SPIN button. We recommend these buttons for expert drivers only— but feel free to experiment and try it out!
V. IMPACT SENSORS
You may have noticed by now the red light on top of your BattleBot. This is your damage meter.
•When the light is fully lit, your Bot is operating at 100% efficiency.
•If the light is flashing, your Bot has taken “virtual damage” and is in danger of a catastrophic
•If the light goes out, your Bot has been disabled. Your controller will not work until you reset your Bot using the on/off switch. Turn the Bot off and back on again and you can continue playing.
The impact sensor is specially designed to register flips and hits from the sides, but NOT hits from the front or rear. What does that mean? It means if you can ram the front of your Bot into the side of your opponent, he will take a hit but YOU will not!
This is a good hit!
Be careful, though! There is always a chance your Bot will take damage from any collision. It’s even possible to damage your own Bot from rough driving! Many a BattleBots champion has been taken out by
ATTENTION: IF YOUR BOT DOES NOT SEEM TO BE WORKING
PROPERLY, RESET YOUR IMPACT SENSOR: TURN YOUR BOT OFF, WAIT A FEW SECONDS, THEN TURN IT ON AGAIN.
VI. SPECIAL FEATURE—MULTI-BAND
CONTROLLERS
Your Custom Series BattleBot includes a special feature to change the code on your Bot and controller. You will need to do this if you and a friend both want to use the same Bot, for example, or if you would like to have a “Robot Rumble” with up to 6 competitors (3 competitors per operating
To use this feature, make sure that all Bots are set to a different code.

VII. HOLDING A BATTLEBOTS COMPETITION
If you and a friend both have a Custom Series BattleBot (sold separately) you can compete head to head. Here are the basic rules:
•You will need two competitors and at least one Judge.
•You will need a flat surface for your playing arena. For Custom Series Playset BattleBots, an area of at least 5 feet by 5 feet is best.
•The Judge will need a stopwatch or a clock to time the match.
•Place the two Bots about 5 feet apart, facing each other, and turn them on.
•Turn on your controllers but do not start
•The Judge will officially start the match (and the clock) and both players can begin battling.
•The match lasts for 3 minutes or until one Bot is disabled— whichever comes first.
•The first Bot to be disabled loses the match. If 3 minutes pass and both Bots are still moving, the Judge must award points and make a decision.
•Points are awarded as follows:
AGGRESSION. The Judge has 5 points to award for aggressiveness. If Bot A moves towards Bot B, and Bot B constantly runs away, the Judge should award the aggression points to the Bot A. The Judge can split the points as he sees fit— 3 points to one Bot and 2 points to the other.
STRATEGY. The Judge has 5 points to award for strategy. He can split the points between the two Bots.
DAMAGE. The Judge has 5 points to award for damage. If Bot A knocked a lot of pieces off of Bot B, Bot A should receive more points. The Judge can split the points as he sees fit.
•The winner of a Decision is the Bot with more points.
