Team Imperial Botz are a Brazilian team which applied for BattleBots World Championship V with an unnamed robot.
The robot was a four-wheel drive, invertible robot armed with a lifter and two large, hinged wedges at the front. The lifter was decorated with a machined dragon head, and could pivot upwards of 270 degrees, much like 2020 season competitor Slap Box. The robot's red chassis was decorated with dragon-like scale effects.
Confirmation of the team's application was posted to the BattleBots Group on Facebook in December 2019 by team member Marcos Marzano, but no other updates are known to have been shared.[1] Had the team been accepted, they would have been unable to travel to Las Vegas regardless due to international travel bans enforced by the COVID-19 pandemic.
