Team OuiOui are an active team from Québec, Canada who made its debut in BattleBots World Championship VI with their heavyweight entry Pardon My French.
A collaborative effort between established French-Canadian, UK and US competitors, Team OuiOui were originally accepted for the 2020 season of BattleBots. However, they later had to withdraw due to travel restrictions imposed by the COVID-19 pandemic.
Travel proved to be an issue a year later too, as team members flying over from the UK were unable to attend filming of the 2021 season due to issues concerning NIE Visas. However, the team would ultimately compete, losing both main season battles to Claw Viper and Valkyrie respectively.
The team reapplied for World Championship VII, but were not selected to compete following a disappointing campaign.
