Holy CR@B (pronounced Holy Crab) is a 15lb robot built by Combat Robotics at Berkeley which competed in BattleBots: Metal Mayhem - a high school and college competition held as part of SXSW 2024.

Much like the team's heavyweight robot, Glitch, Holy CR@B is a four-wheel drive robot armed with an eggbeater spinner at the front. Unlike Glitch, however, Holy CR@B features traditional wheels in place of omnidirectional drive. Two long forks are positioned either side of the primary weapon to lead opponents into its path, and horns protrude above the weapon which allows Holy CR@B to drive upside-down.

The robot's name is stylized in such a way which references the university its team members study at, with CR@B standing for Combat Robotics at Berkley. Despite a winless group stage, Holy CR@B won back-to-back knockout fights to make the event semi-finals before losing to eventual runner-up RGBeater.

The team also competed in the 15lb event with Thunderstorm, and are best known for their 250lb heavyweight, Glitch.
