According to the bio on the US Robot from the Megabots press kit:

The American Challenger: MegaBots’ robot is the Mk. II, introduced to the world in May of
2015 by Co-Founders Gui Cavalcanti, Matt Oehrlein, and Brinkley Warren. The Mk. II is 15 feet
tall when standing, weighs in at 12,000 pounds and seats two people. The Mk.II was built for
long-range paintball combat, not hand-to-hand combat. Major upgrades to armor, power, speed
and weapon systems are required in order to be capable of hand-to-hand combat for the duel.
MegaBots, Inc. is asking for America’s support to upgrade the Mk.II.

Looks pretty badass.
