"Air's the strongest armor you can have. There's nothing to hit."

— Ian Watts on Little Sister, BattleBots: The Official Guide

Little Sister was a heavyweight robot built by the Watts family, which fought in the final three seasons of Comedy Central BattleBots.

Much like the team's previous heavyweight entry Bigger Brother, Little Sister was armed with a pneumatic flipping arm. It was rather successful in BattleBots, winning multiple battles as well as three consolation rumbles and the Season 4.0 Heavyweight Royal Rumble. Little Sister's name references team member Ellie Watts, who was the younger sister to fellow team member Joe Watts. In turn, its Robot Wars name Bigger Brother references Joe's relation to Ellie. Following the cancelation of BattleBots on Comedy Central, Little Sister was repainted and adopted its Bigger Brother name again.

Ian Watts returned with Bull Dog for the 2015 season of BattleBots, but it was an unused reserve for the competition. He would get to compete again a season later with Creepy Crawlies, but the multibot was eviscerated at the hands of Son of Whyachi in its qualifying rumble. He then entered the following two seasons on Discovery with another multibot called The Four Horsemen with his youngest son Sam Watts, but did not return to BattleBots after the 2019 season.

Team Big Brother previously competed in the third series of Robot Wars with Big Brother, before debuting Bigger Brother a year later. Though it failed to escape its heat, the upgraded Bigger Brother which became Little Sister in BattleBots made it all the way to the Grand Final battle of Series 5 of Robot Wars, only stopped by Razer after ending the winning streak of two-time champion Chaos 2. Certifying its status as an all-star from that point on, Bigger Brother made the semi-finals in the following series before suffering a shock exit in its final Robot Wars competition. Ian Watts returned to Robot Wars with its revival in 2016, but lost in the first round with Or Te and was subsequently eliminated.
