ATOM#94, also spelt ATOM94, was a heavyweight robot built by AutoVoltz Robotics which competed in BattleBots World Championship V and the side series, BattleBots: Bounty Hunters.

It was a two-wheel drive, black and blue robot armed with a drum sandwiched between two discs, colloquially known as a drisc. Its name comes from the atomic number for Plutonium, which is 94. Despite living in Canada, AutoVoltz Robotics were the first team in BattleBots history to represent India.

The team was led by Yash Deshmukh, who contacted Ray Billings of Tombstone for the idea of ATOM#94 ahead of the season for advice on its design. The show played this up as Hardcore Robotics mentoring the team, though this was exaggerated. In its rookie season, ATOM#94 went winless in Fight Night due to reliability issues which persisted throughout its fights.

ATOM#94 returned for BattleBots: Bounty Hunters but was no more successful, losing to MadCatter in the opening round. According to the team, half of the robot was built in India, whereas the other half was built in Canada. Due to residing in Canada at the time of filming, AutoVoltz Robotics were able to compete without being affected by COVID-19 travel restrictions which prevented many other international teams from attending 2020 filming.

Neither AutoVoltz Robotics nor ATOM#94 returned for future World Championships or other BattleBots events. The robot remains in the possession of captain Yash Deshmukh in India, but is formally retired.
