Template:Infobox combat robot is designed to categorise appropriate information relating to combat robots in their articles on Wikipedia. It collates statistical information about the machines themselves with a section on their combat history; this information cannot be collated in other infoboxes.

The infobox should be added using the {{Infobox combat robot}} template, as shown below:
