The BattleBots IQ (alternately BotsIQ) events used a variety of arenas to stage combat or non-combat tournaments between robots from the Large (120lbs), Mini (15lbs) or TableTop (12lbs) classes.

The 2004 BattleBots-sanctioned NPC Charity Open used a smaller 40' x 40' [17] arena with a 12' high roof, [18] prepared by event organizers the Minnesota Manufacturing Educational Resource (MMER). Aside from the altered dimensions, it was largely similar in aesthetic to the Comedy Central-era BattleBox, but had a greatly reduced number of hazards as well as new outline markings for the red and blue squares. A 'scaled-down' version of the BattleBox was created for the invitation-only 2006 Cisco Party private event in Las Vegas, accommodating specially-invited middleweight robots. This differed in having a rectangular base (16' x 24') and only two Pulverizers located in the arena corners, each operated by team members. The positioning of the red and blue squares was also swapped, with the blue square being placed to the left of the BattleBots logo.

The arena itself was made much larger and featured functioning screw hazards, with the playset itself called BattleBots Arena MAX. HEXBUG also re-released the Whiplash and SawBlaze toys alongside this upgraded arena, dubbed BattleBots Arena MAX Platinum.
