A guessing game contest in honor of the 25th anniversary of BattleBots
Run Amok Combat Robotics BattleBots 25th Anniversary: a Contest
Privacy Policy
June 24th, 2024 I received the following message from Team Run Amok's friend Iceywave in Texas:
July marks the 25th anniversary of BattleBots, so I put together a game to commemorate the occasion. No Prizes It's just for fun!
I’ve built 24 models of BattleBot competitors young and old in Robot Arena 2. Your job is to guess what bots they're supposed to be. I’m eager to see if anyone can get all of them!
Easy - 1 point
Medium - 2 points
Hard - 3 points
Contest ends 7/2/2024 @ noon PDT.
-sincerely, Iceywave
Our winner with a score of 33 from a possible 48 is:
Yes he is kind of a ringer, but there was no separate "professional" class. If it makes you feel better you can give him a hard time about the trivial error he made on his guess for Robot #11. I've put his list down at the bottom of the page so you can play the game before any spoilers.
I know Iceybot said there was no prize, but I'll send Draco a small item as a momento of his win.
You can 'mouse over' or 'tap' each image below to reveal the robot that Iceywave used as inspiration for his model. None of the entries correctly identified numbers 17, 21, or 23.

Tie Breaker
Wonder why I didn’t have 25 robot images for the BattleBots 25th anniversary? In case of a draw, that’s why!
Here’s the tie breaker image, if it's needed. It wasn't I’m not looking for a name, just any info you have.

Who in blazes is "ÆON 00"?
At BattleBots 3.0, lightweight ÆON 00 lost its first and only fight in a qualifying round to "Silver Bullet" by knockout. Depressed, ÆON 00 made its way toward the Golden Gate bridge to jump off.
While "ÆON 00" was waiting at a cable car stop, "Silver Bullet" showed up all depressed over its opening-round loss to "Patriot". It was heading for the bridge as well.
Then "Patriot" lost its TV-round fight to "Whirl Weap X25" and headed off to the cable car stop for a quick ride to the bridge.
"Whirl Weap X25" lost to "Sublime" and quickly caught up with the others at the cable car stop.
"Sublime" then lost to "Sallad", and "Sallad" lost to "Dr. Inferno, so they shared a cab ride to the cable car stop.
When the cable car finally arrived there wasn't room enough for all the 'bots to get on and go jump off the bridge, so they all just went home -- except for "ÆON 00", who wasn't paying attention and was run over by the cable car. "ÆON 00" was turned into a manhole cover and placed in the intersection of 3rd and Kearney, where it serves to this day.
