Project 04 / BattleBots

A real BattleBox. A live audience. A place to prove the machine.

BattleBots Proving Ground gives new, returning, and developing robots a place to test their designs in the Las Vegas BattleBox—and gives teams production-ready footage that shows what their machines can do.

Role: Technical Production / Video
Format: Live robot-combat test fights
Location: BattleBots Arena · Las Vegas

A production signal path connecting live video systems

What Proving Ground is.

Proving Ground fights take place during select Destruct-A-Thon performances. Rookie teams can demonstrate that a robot is ready for the larger BattleBots stage, established teams can test new systems, and developing machines can gain real arena experience before their next application or competition.

Teams apply and receive clearance before marking their availability. Selected robots then fight in the actual BattleBox in front of a live audience—an environment that reveals far more than a workshop test ever could.

Fox’s production role

From the BattleBox to the builder’s channel.

Fox supports the multi-camera production path around each fight: technical readiness, live switching and line cuts, recording, media handling, and continuity inside an active performance environment. The finished fight media can then be delivered to participating builders for their own audiences.
