BotsIQ 2007, also known as BattleBots IQ 2007, was the sixth BattleBots IQ event sanctioned under the BattleBots name.
Again taking place in Miami, Florida, the 2007 competition was open to High School and College teams to compete in the 15lb and 120lb divisions. RHS Robotics and The Blender ultimately won the 120lb High School division, defeating E2V2 in the final with Pneumagic placing third.
The College division was won by Bear Down, who beat The Revenant to earn its first championship as well as the Best Engineered Robot Award. Former champion Alakran returned for this year's championship after being absent in 2005, but could only finish third.
Reigning Mini Class champion MaXimum Impact managed to defend its title, winning the 15lb division for a second time in a row. Having lost to Rugburn Reloaded earlier in the competition, MaXimum Impact defeated it in the rematch to take home the championship again.[2] Humdinger would finish third in the Mini Class for the first time.
