Combat bots can be tiny-
(1lb)
A bit bigger-
(12lb)
even bigger-
(60lb)
or even really freakin' huge-
(488lb walker 'Mechadon' from battlebots)
The top three are mine, the others are not.

Their motors are also super heavy duty. I think biohazard uses a $800 motor for it's spinning blade! Interestingly enough, a bunch of Battlebots use FIRST parts and a few of the builders used to do FIRST back in the day.

Unless Carlos made any changes, he uses
S28-400 Magmotors for the drive in Biohazard. Oddly enough, Bio recently came out of retirement for the Combots Cup, which took place a few months ago. Bio's first fight was against megabyte, and Bio left in pieces. Carlo fixed it and fought again later that day. Video will be posted of that fight shortly.
Battlebots and Robot Wars are dead or near dead. The
RFL is the new top organization. Competitions nation wide are under the RFL banner, and each year they hold a national championships event(which ran along side the Combots Cup at the Fort Mason Center a few months ago)
EDIT- Here's the video. Working on a best hits of the event movie right now.
