We launched Bot Bash in 2011 with the goal of inspiring kids' interest in science and engineering through fun and exciting combat robotics. Fighting robots combine the thrill of video gaming with the educational value of a science project. Kids learn core concepts of physics and engineering while having a blast destroying each others' robots in a controlled, safe environment.
We offer two-hour Bot Bash parties, where kids get to feel the thrill of a robot fighting tournament, advancing through elimination rounds until only one robot is left. Due to overwhelming demand, we also offer a summer camp program, giving kids opportunities to learn science and engineering by building their own fighting robots.

I had as much fun as the kids and Zachary was as patient with the kids as he was with me asking him a million questions about his career in fighting robots. This was our second Botbash party, because the first was such a great time for everyone.
Well organized. You can sit back and let them do their thing. Easy Party for us as the entertainment was settled.

We had Bot Bash throw a party for my son's 10th birthday and it was one of the best parties I've ever seen! I highly, highly recommend them. They were on time, professional, knowledgeable, kept 11 high energy kids entertained, and were really fun. For Battlebots fans, having an actual Battlebots competitor was awesome. Zach and Alex were amazing trainers, referees, MCs and competitors. Hire these guys, you'll be glad you did!

Ditto for what the previous Reviewer Mark D said about his 9th birthday party. We had my sons 9th birthday party at our house last weekend - 13 boys. I was a bit nervous having some many boys at my house but can say enough - how amazing it was to have Bot Bash there to keep the boys busy for 2 full hours. (party was 10:30 to 1:30pm). In fact, even through the set up they were intrigued and kept asking 'Ethan' our technician questions.
The set up was efficient and well-organized. The bots and arena were top notch. Special touch in having a microphone to make it feel really official

They exceeded my expectations! There was fun from the first minute of the party when the kids saw the arena and the robots zipping around, to the last battle. Orien handled a big group of rowdy kids with ease, slipping from announcer to technician to referee to voice of authority. It is not at all cheap, but the equipment is all the real deal. Considering hiring them again for an adult party because the kids were so into it we didn't want to interfere.

We just had a wonderful experience at Bot Bash for my 13 yr old's party. Zach and Diana are kind, enthusiastic and great at working with the kids. They had all the kids engaged and everyone had a fun time. Their space is welcoming and even has some of the BattleBots from the show on display to check out. We will definitely be looking to take some classes with this crew in the future.

This is a great place for girls and boys 7+ who are into robotics and coding. My son and his classmates had a blast at our fundraiser party. They have camps, parties and they also work with schools to host buy-in parties to raise funds. I am really looking forward to Walnut Creek Recreation adding Bot Bash to there school and summer camps. I highly recommend Bot Bash!

That was a great birthday party event. We hired Bot Bash Party for our son's 10 years birthday party, and they made it a big success. Diana, the battle bot, expert arrived early and was professional. Most importantly, Diana made it a lot of fun. All of the kids (and parents) were totally into it for the full 120 minutes - which says a lot for a dozen 10 year old boys. The party was a big success. We would definitely recommend Diana and Bot Bash Party.

I cannot say enough about this company. They put on an excellent party for my son's 9th birthday. My son Ryan is a huge battle bot fanatic and Botbashparties.com did not disappoint. Zach was our ringmaster and did an awesome job. He was funny and entertaining for both kids and parents. I got everything I expected and a while lot more. My son will remember this party forever. Thank you botbashparties.com for a great day. Do not hesitate, book your party now. Trust me, you won't regret it.

What a fantastic party idea. Our technician did a great job getting all the boys involved and excited. We just had our son's tenth birthday and it was perfect. Zach arrived and set up quickly. He kept control of the 12 kids who were anxious to try, while keeping the bots moving and the game going. The kids stayed engaged. The kids had a great time learning what each one did and the scoring. Highly recommend. If there was a 10 star, they would earn it. Even let the parents have a quick battle at the end! Will definitely be doing this again. Zach's commentary and energy really

This is my first time in yelp review and I tried to remember my ID and password to write this review.
Anyway, it was a wonderful time for my son and his friends to learn about something special.
We had 14 kids in my son's 11th B-day party and they were all so excited in the robot battle. Zack was extremely helpful, entertaining and nice. He also showed the Yo-Yo performance that I had never expected. Thank you Zack for making such a special moment to my son and his friends. I took a very short video to show how it really looks like. The link is here: https://youtu.be/B0WYpOwQlWI
I would strongly

Zach was great with the kids and has his process for a two hour event nailed down. He managed our nine year old boys birthday party very well, making it fun for all of the boys and handling wrinkles like late arrivals effortlessly. Playing the announcer with an amplified mic and music is a great touch. He stayed a little while after and did yo-yo tricks. And he's a nice guy to boot. Thanks Zach!

Zach and Diane are the best!! They made our twins 8th bday so special!! It was a big group and they really managed the crowd and I loved their robot commentary too! Also bonus yo yo and amazing robot demonstrations!! They were so wonderful to partner with and the parents and kids thought battle bots was the the bomb! "Epic" as on 8 year old put it ;-)!

So, if you've heard about this party, or seen it at Robot Wars, and you're just not sure if it's going to be a hit, don't worry. We've done this twice, and it's definitely fun.
One of the neat things, from a parents perspective, is that Zach has a format that keeps the kids engaged. They're loud, to be sure, but they're all focused on the battles, even when they're not the ones controlling the bot. Zach as a certain charisma that seems to draw the kids attention.
The other gratifying thing is that we'll hear the kids talking about the battles

I - and all my son's 8-10 year old party guests - could not be more happy with Bot Bash. Zach was professional, engaging and entertaining, but not hokey or over the top (I often cringe at kid-focused entertainers)! The kids (and adults) were completely enthralled by the robots and Zach's energy and enthusiasm (and a few expert yoyo tricks) for hours. Along with learning about robots and battling each other in the ring, Zach emphasized good sportsmanship with our guests and teamwork was recognized and rewarded! As soon as Zach and the bots left, my son asked if we could have him back

Bot Bash party was a great idea and an even greater event. Zach was amazing with the kids (boys age 7-11) He was kind, patient, helpful, informative, educational and just a lot of fun.
Well worth the investment. It was the first time ever, ever that I had a kids party that I was not sweating and the kids didn't get board.
We will definitely have Zach back for our next party... maybe for the grown-ups next time.
THANK YOU Zach for so much fun
