The re:MARS all:STARS BattleBots Challenge, often shortened to re:MARS all:STARS or simply re:MARS, is the name given to two BattleBots tournament held separate to the regular World Championship season.
Held as part of Amazon's re:MARS conference and in collaboration with Discovery, the event saw a number of BattleBots fan favorites compete to win a Giant Bolt trophy. The event has been held twice: in 2019, and again in 2022. The first was won by Witch Doctor, whereas the second was won by HyperShock.
It is not known whether BattleBots will return to re:MARS with the event not being held since 2022.[1]

The event was first held on June 6, 2019 and livestreamed to Twitch through the official BattleBots account. It consisted of five 1v1 battles held within the BattleBox, which itself was deconstructed and rebuilt in Las Vegas, Nevada, with the live Twitch audience voting for two winning robots to return for the final.
Two grudge matches were held between the Round 1 battles and the final, where Witch Doctor ultimately defeated Bronco to earn the Giant Bolt trophy.

BattleBots returned to the re:MARS all:STARS conference three years later. With the BattleBox now in a permanent venue, the competition took place at their official Las Vegas venue. A total of ten robots would again appear, though only eight fought in the main bracket with Malice and JackPot present as reserves. The event was not livestreamed on this occasion and the competition was a straightforward single elimination bracket.
Driven for the first time by Alex Bales, HyperShock defeated Tombstone, Blip and Hydra to win the event outright.
