Plot[]
The episode opens with Junior asking his friends what they want to do, with Joseph replying they should watch Battle Bots. Junior isn't up to speed on what that is, so Joseph and Cody explain what it is to him. Excited about the event now, Junior agrees to see it.
The battle bots arena is shown with two battle bots competing. Splinter Saw and Tornado Tentacles. The match begins with Splinter Saw being caught one of Tornado Tentacles' tentacles and later is being pounded by his smasher. A few hammers is later dropped on Tornado Tentacles aswell as a mallet with Splinter Saw being declared the winner. Steve Staleburger later announces on TV that they are having a battle bot competition where someone can make their own battle bot and possibly win $5,000 but with a $500 entrance fee. Junior thinks they should enter that competition but Cody is skeptical since they have to build an entire robot and they would need the entrance free money. Junior tells Cody to build the Bot and Junior will handle getting the money for the entrance fee.
Cody later comes back with a Robot Spider and later asks where the $500 is. Junior tells Cody that his dad does not have that much money in his wallet, to Cody's dismay. Junior later brings up that he should borrow $500 from his mom in which Cody objects at first but Junior tells Cody that he will pay her back. Cody reluctantly agrees and asks Joseph for the name of the Bot. Joseph did not come up with a name, making Cody the only person that had contributed to his portion of the project. Cody then crees the bot "Daddy Long Legs" while Junior then adds a Knife to the Spider Bot and later enters the competition.
At the Battle Bots Arena, The Spider Bot is going up against The Shark Ship which was built by Richard. Cody is puzzled on how they are supposed to fight the Shark Ship but they just decide to puncture the pool with the Knife. draining the water and immobilizing the Shark Ship. The Spider Bot wins and later set up against Hammerhead Shark (equipped with a hammer and an axe), built by PJ Crenshaw. The Hammerhead Shark then rams into the Spider Bot knocking it over and later destroys it.
Cody is upset because he owes his mom $500 from the entrance free but Junior says this was all Cody's fault but they found the idea good at the time that Cody made it but Junior changes the subject on how to pay Cody's mom back. Junior tells Cody to borrow another $500 and build a bigger and better robot telling him that they'll pay back $1000. After going back and fourth on how math works, Cody builds a new bot, a helicopter equipped with a rope so they can pick up the opposing robot and drop it. Cody later asks what's the name of the robot and Junior makes a list of unoriginal names going with the name "Grave Digger" which does make sense since the robot is a helicopter.
At the Battle Bots Arena, Grave Digger goes up against Hammerhead Shark. Cody hooks the Hammerhead Shark and attempts to pick him up but the bot was too heavy causing Grave Digger to crash and run over with PJ Crenshaw winning for the second time in a row. Cody then realizes that they owe her mom $1500. After going back and forth with Junior and Joseph. Cody makes a new bot creed "The Mean Green Machine" equipped with a military-grade rifle.
At the Battle Bots Arena, The Mean Green Machine goes up against the Hammerhead Shark one last time. Cody then activates the assault rifle and shoots up the Hammerhead shark causing it to implode on itself. Cody wins and later shoots up the entire arena. They claim their $5000 but Cody is arrested for shooting an additional 35 people, Junior and Joseph decide to not pay Cody's mom back ending the video.
