Case Study: BattleBots' Team HyperShock accelerates robot development with SOLIDWORKS

Hypershock Llc Accelerating Battlebots Robot Development With Solidworks Solutions

BattleBots competitor Team HyperShock faced the challenge of developing competitive battling robots quickly and cost‑effectively to meet the tight production schedule of the BattleBots TV series. To accelerate development and support a geographically dispersed team, they secured a SOLIDWORKS sponsorship and used SolidWorks CAD, Simulation and Visualize tools for design, analysis and rendering.

SolidWorks provided additional software licenses and simulation/visualization capabilities that let the team iterate rapidly, share files across states, and optimize designs for strength, weight and appearance. As a result, the team designed a BattleBots robot in one month, shortened production lead times, enabled last‑minute iterations, and improved both durability and aesthetics—demonstrating measurable speed and collaboration gains thanks to SolidWorks.
