The first official BattleBots event was hosted in Long Beach in August 1999, while a second event in Las Vegas was used to pitch the competition to television networks. Legally barred from the name "Robot Wars", American robot combat aficionados created a new company, BattleBots, under the ownership of Greg Munson and Trey Roski. The same competitions inspired the British TV program Robot Wars, which acquired the name in 1995. The show is an adaptation of the American Robot Wars competitions hosted in the mid–late 1990s by Marc Thorpe, in which competitors design and operate remote-controlled armed and armored machines designed to fight in an arena combat elimination tournament.
