These particular robots didn't fight. They compete to see which robot can complete some preassigned task best - tossing balls into a basket or whatever.

And Robotics definitely could involve waking up at 4:30 and staying until midnight, but it didn't for me personally because I was a totally lackluster team member. I chose to be on the outreach team, which only came to meetings three times a week and never stayed late.

In retrospect, joining Robotics might have worked better to socialize me if I had put more effort in it.
