 I'm not sure, but my town has an annual Robo Brawl event (presumably the name BattleBots is copyrighted). They're not as big as battle bots, but some of the people who built battle bots are there showing off their 300 lb monsters.

This is one of the benefits of living in a college town with a strong engineering program. 🙂
