"Before BattleBots became known to millions of fans, before the rest of the world met killer robots like Tazbot, Ziggo and Mechadon, a group of dedicated robot builders and a few thousand loyal fans gathered in Long Beach, California to make history"
— Main Blurb

BattleBots Beginnings (Also known as BattleBots Beginnings: Long Beach California 1999) is one of two home video releases of BattleBots which features over 40 minutes of highlights of the Long Beach 1999 event.
