Rott-Bott, also known as Rott-Bott 2000 during Season 1.0 of BattleBots, was a lightweight robot which competed at the Long Beach 1999 event and Season 1.0. It was an invertible robot armed with two spinning saw blades. It was originally made of wood at Long Beach and then was made of steel during Season 1.0. Despite these changes, it never won a match, but it did win a consolation rumble in Season 1.0.
Rott-Bott was built by Brian Scearce, who also built the middleweight competitor Halo. He named Rott-Bott after his rottweiler dogs.
Rott-Bott's first match in Long Beach was against Team Vicious' Deathtrap. In the match, Rott-Bott was lifted by Deathtrap several times and lost on a judge's vote, knocking Rott-Bott to the loser's bracket where it faced Gorange 3.
