Bling Bling was a middleweight robot which fought exclusively at the BattleBots Cisco Party in 2006.

It was a box-shaped robot armed with a belt-driven vertical spinner. The robot was built by members of the Cole family, whose company, DC WaterJet, sponsored the robot.[1]

Bling Bling was driven by Chad New, who later competed in BattleBots with Copperhead.[2] It did not compete in the main bracket as it was an unused backup robot, but fought a one-off grudge match prior to the final against WarSaw.

WarSaw strikes the side of Bling Bling.

WarSaw got the first hit of the match, destabilizing Bling Bling as its damaged weapon continued to spin, hopping around the arena. WarSaw struck the sides of Bling Bling, who struggled for mobility in the blue square as its weapon came to a stop.

The fight went the distance and WarSaw ultimately took the win by judges' decision.[2]
