It was a two-wheeled invertible robot with no active weapon, Botsy was armored in Lexan, and had a white, plastic wedge at the front to get under other robots. Despite its lack of a damaging weapon, Botsy proved largely effective in its first and only competition. Botsy picked up five wins in its seven total fights, with one of its losses coming to the eventual champion, Wee Willy Wedgy.

Botsy is not known to have competed again after this event.
