Bots FC started out in the 2000's as "Team Atomic Carp" by Adam Wrigley and Matt Bores. Back then we ran a website called totalinsanity.net, along with a few robots in the LW/MW class.
Today Bots FC has grown to be an international powerhouse in the combat robotics scene. Bots FC's heavyweight class hammer robots have become a force to be reckoned with from the US to China - and they are now making a mark with vertical spinners as well. Appearing on 4 different televised programs and 7 seasons of TV, Bots FC's episodes have been collectively viewed over 1 billion times.
From pioneering inrunner brushless technology and magnetic downforce for drivetrains in the heavyweight class, to being the only HW to ever effectively use mecanum wheels, Bots FC doesn't stop pushing the boundaries of combat robotics.
