Bambino was a lightweight robot built by Team Home Run which competed in three seasons of Comedy Central BattleBots, debuting in Season 3.0.

It was a pentagonal, invertible robot shaped like a baseball base. Bambino was armed with two swinging bats in keeping with its theme, which were used as bludgeoning hammers. After Season 4.0, Bambino was rebuilt from the ground up as the robot was lost in transit following the team's exit from the competition. However, Bambino failed to make a televised appearance as it won just two battles across three seasons.

The team behind Bambino also built another middleweight, Whambulance, which competed in BattleBots IQ 2002 with greater success.
