The House Bots are Shunt, Matilda, Dead Metal, Sergeant Bash, Sir Killalot, Growler, Mr. Psycho, and Cassius Chrome. The House Robots are put into a match, two at a time, staying in their Croner Patrol Zones(CPZ). If a robot wanders too close, they are sure to get smashed. But, these zones are removed when a robot is deemed immobilized by the Refbot, after which the house bots can come out and cause mass destruction. Several of the robots, including Razer, Firestorm, Tricerabot, Chaos 2, and Bigger Brother, have directly attacked the house robots, some of them dealing damage, including flipping, and nearly, dropping them into the Pit of Oblivion, the final destination for all robots caught in the cluches of the house bots. ...more on Wikipedia about "House Robots"
