I was cruzing the TV Guide looking for things to record when I saw BattleBots and thought my 13yo son would get a kick out of this.

Modern Lithium batteries are packing huge amps in a small package. Think about how long a laptop can run on a single charge now compared to 15 years ago.
A bot starts it's flywheel and it sounds like an airplane about to take off. Flywheel makes contact and sends the other bot flying.
Here's a random battle I picked based on number of views:
