The Upload

It’s that time of year again, time for the BattleBots to go at it to see who is the fiercest in the BattleBox. For the third time, Protolabs is powering DUCK!, the 250-pound, low-riding, and somewhat adorable competitor from Team Black and Blue.

For the first time, BattleBots granted a company permission to replicate its coveted Giant Nut trophy. The original is awarded to the team that wins the annual competition, which features fierce, fighting robots, and airs on the Discovery Channel.
