RockBot was a superheavyweight robot built by TeamCoorsTek (in affiliation with CoorsTek, an American technical ceramics company) that attempted to compete in the NPC Charity Open. It was a six-wheeled silver robot with the top speed of approximately 15mph armed with a pneumatic ram along with a set of claws, as well as a shell made out of "CoorsTek Ceramic Armor" that resembles the shell of a horseshoe crab. Due to unknown reasons, they were unable to compete.

"These horseshoe crabs have been around a very long time, even without any significant weapons."

— TeamCoorsTek on the inspiration behind the robot.
