“Robotic Combat: a sport
that combines the
creative and
destructive
aspects of
human nature!”
|
After months of work in workshops and garages around the country,
hand-made robotic warriors face off inside bullet-proof arenas in 3 minute
duels that literally are
“Steel Cage Death Matches!”
|
“Two robots enter.
One robot leaves... as a
bunch of
mangled parts!”
|
If you lose, you may be taking your robot home in a
trash can.
If you win, you may have as little as 15 minutes to
charge batteries, repair damage, and get
back in the box!
|
“I love the
smell of
Titanium in the
morning!”
|
Welcome to the world of the
Metal Munching Maniacs!
We hope you'll buy our DVDs, come out and watch us fight, and be
inspired to
build your own robot
and
kick some metallic ass!
|
“Tell us about
what's left of your
robot...”
|
Metal Munching Maniacs DVDs are jam-packed with exciting robot
battles in weight classes from the 1lb antweights right on up to
340lb super-heavyweights, builder interviews and pit reports, with
no annoying filler material!
You'll learn how to make them, how to break them, and why
duct tape fixes almost anything!
|
“Daddy, either you
build us a robot, or we're getting a
new Daddy who will!”
|
Combat Robotics is a sport for the whole family; some of the best
drivers are still in elementary school. One of the most important
things it teaches is good sportsmanship -- it's common to see a
team getting help and spare parts from their next opponent (because
everyone wants to win in the box, not win by forfeit).
|
“Damage is just
weakness leaving your
robot!”
|
Metal Munching Maniacs isn't just about great robotic
combat action. It's also about teaching you how easy
it is to build your own robot. Check out
our illustrated construction tutorial
and our links page for tons of information.
Finally, the Combat Robot Gallery has pictures
of many of the robots that appear on our discs; the solutions other builders came up with may
inspire you to create something even more diabolical!
Then get building, and perhaps your robot will appear
on one of our future DVDs!

Our Fearless Leader shows you how easy it is
to build your own combat robot in his
Illustrated Tutorial. Did we mention the robot is
the 2004 and 2005 RFL Featherweight champion? And that the original version was built with
simple hand tools? Trust us, if he can do it, you can too!
Also check out the further adventures of “Totally Offensive” in the versions that
were built for the
2005 and
2006 seasons.

Upcoming Robot Combat Events:
|
The Builders Database lists mosts of the
upcoming robot combat events in North America, as does the
Robot Fighting League Event Calendar.
Make an effort to come to an event; the action on
our DVDs is insane, but it's nothing compared to the up-close-and-personal
feeling of a 220lb heavyweight ramming into the Lexan a few feet in front
of your nose! There's always lots of free souvenir robot shrapnel for the kids!
We hope to see you there; we'll be taping a lot of events in 2005!
Events already "in the can" and being prepared for release: Battle Beach II,
Southwest Divisional Championships, Rocket City Robot Assault, NPC Charity Open, Robot Assault II and
the 2004 RFL Nationals.
