BattleBots Choses CellBlock FCS as Official Battery Safety Partner

Two 300 pound robots slice and spin, crash and smash as BattleBots fans erupt with excitement, only feet away. The legendary robot combat competition has always been the safest, with a BattleBox that’s indestructible, and a custom air scrubbing system keeping the Las Vegas arena safe for all.
Included in BattleBots arsenal of safety equipment, is the novel innovation CellBlockEX, a mineral lithium-ion battery fire suppressant used by the safest fire departments for HAZMAT response. BattleBots has used it for years as an overpacking solution to damaged or defective batteries, allowing the safest containment available.
BattleBots has recently added some new CellBlock Fire Containment Systems elements to its impressive lineup of safety systems, introducing FireShield Blankets, the most formidable battery cabinet available, and the wall-hanging EHS LIBIK, a Lithium-ion Battery Incident Kit for each combat pit crew. Not only do the cabinets contain the most explosive robot battery forces, they have patented passive fire suppression in every shelf.
“The wonderful thing about the Partnership with CellBlock is more tools, newer tools, and updated technology- like fireproof blankets that we throw over the robots when they’re exiting, on fire,” said Robert Bahr, Safety Inspector and Robot Operations manager, BattleBots“
Seen in over 150 countries, catch the latest BattleBots action on television, as teams from all over the world collide, Thursday evenings on Discovery Channel, as the Golden Bolt 2 competition thrills week after week. For the die hard BattleBot fans, Destruction in Las Vegas lights up the BattleBox a few days a week, with killer robot carnage, up close. Flying bolts, flames, exploding batteries and splintered saw blades, are no match for the safest robot battle arena imaginable.
CellBlock, the BattleBox’s new Official Battery Safety Partner, recently sat down with BattleBots own “Safety Rob” for his thoughts on robot tactics, the best part of being a safety inspector, new gear, and the safest robot warrior tips to always remember when building at home.
