Teams of college students from around the country shipped their robots in these crates to Mare Island Naval Shipyard in Vallejo, Calif., where they gathered last week for the BattleBots Collegiate Championship event. Having spent hundreds of hours, and in some cases, thousands of dollars, participants showcased their mad scientist skills and sent their heavy metal robots into combat against some incredibly dangerous and destructive machines.
