From order to arena in 14 days
Team Valkyrie, a top-tier BattleBots competitor, faced a critical deadline—custom CNC-machined parts needed to arrive in Las Vegas with just three weeks to spare. Fictiv tapped its distributed manufacturing network spanning the US, Mexico, and China to source, produce, and deliver a $20K order in two weeks, giving the team exactly what they needed to take the arena.

About Team Valkyrie
Team Valkyrie is a professional BattleBots competitor known for their 30-lb full-body spinner robot, Valkyrie, which has consistently placed among the top combatants in the series. The team competes at the highest levels of robot combat, requiring precision-engineered components that can withstand extreme impact forces in the arena.
Three weeks to showtime, zero room for error
With the BattleBots competition in Las Vegas locked on the calendar, Team Valkyrie needed custom CNC-machined components delivered fast—and the clock was already ticking. A $20K parts order of this complexity required a manufacturing partner with both the technical capability to produce precision components and the network agility to meet an aggressive two-week delivery window. Failure to secure parts in time meant showing up to competition underprepared, or not at all.

Valkyrie Arena Assembly
Fictiv activated its distributed network of vetted manufacturing partners across the US, Mexico, and China to source and produce Team Valkyrie’s CNC-machined parts in parallel. By intelligently routing work to the right facilities based on capacity, capability, and geography, Fictiv compressed what would typically be a multi-week lead time into 14 days—without compromising on the tight tolerances required for competition-grade robotics hardware. The team received their parts with time to integrate, test, and prepare for the arena.
Ready to compete, on time and in spec
Fictiv delivered $20K worth of custom CNC-machined parts within two weeks, drawing on manufacturing partners across three regions to meet Team Valkyrie’s deadline. Every component arrived in time for the Las Vegas competition, giving the team the hardware they needed to compete at the highest level. The engagement demonstrated how Fictiv’s global network can absorb urgent, complex orders and turn them around without sacrificing quality or reliability.
