Slap 'Em Silly was a lightweight robot that competed in Seasons 4.0 and 5.0 of Comedy Central’s Battlebots. It was not built by the team that owned it but bought off eBay. The robot was originally Patriot, but when the robot had a disappointing Season 3.0 record the original owner sold Patriot to Team Fatcats, who rebuilt the robot from the ground up, keeping only some of Patriot's parts. They renamed it as well as giving it a rear spike. Driven by 13-year old Andy Sauro of Team Fatcats, it became a popular competitor during Season 4.0, when it defeated numerous opponents and made it to the quarter-finals. For Season 5.0 the team returned with a new paint job and two more Slap 'Em Silly robots. The two robots competed in the middleweight division as Slap 'Em Sillier. However, this robot never got out of the preliminary rounds. Slap 'Em Silly did decently in Season 5.0, winning one fight.

After BattleBots ended, Slap 'Em Silly competed as West Side Glory for a few years before the team retired. Later on it was sold off to Team Chaos Robotics, who sold it again to Team Cyberdyne Systems, a Canada-based team. The team is looking into restoring it to fighting condition.

Team Fatcats also competed with a heavyweight named Sledge-Jammer in the final three seasons.

Team member and driver Andy Sauro would later join the Bot Bash Party Crew, who compete with Skorpios in 2022, for the BattleBots World Championship VII, Andy also worked on the Team's YouTube channel previously.
