Case Study: BattleBots achieves an All‑SOLIDWORKS Final Four with SOLIDWORKS

BattleBots - Customer Case Study

BattleBots, the televised combat-robot competition, faced the challenge of turning ambitious, battle-ready designs into compact, durable machines that can survive extreme impacts and strict weight limits. Teams including Lock‑Jaw, Bite Force, Whiplash and Minotaur relied on SolidWorks CAD tools to model, iterate and validate complex mechanical systems under those demanding constraints.

SolidWorks enabled rapid design iterations, simulation and fabrication-ready documentation so teams could optimize performance and durability quickly. The measurable impact is striking: the 2018 Final Four were all SOLIDWORKS-designed bots, and Bite Force — led by Paul Ventimiglia — has secured championship victories, demonstrating SolidWorks’ role in producing competition-winning robots.
