Dragon Slayer

Dragon Slayer is a heavyweight robot built by Wild Side Robotics which competed in Discovery Season 6 of the Battlebots reboot.
The robot is two-wheel drive and features an asymmetric vertical spinner at the front, which can be changed out for different shaped discs for different fights. Each of the team's three discs has a different shape and name: Dragon's Breath, The Crusader and Say Goodknight, and these weigh 31lbs, 37lbs and 43lbs respectively.
Dragon Slayer has a distinctive theme, based on the dragonslayers of legends such as that of Saint George. As well as its black and red decorative feathers, the discs and armor plates either side of it have medieval decoration to further enhance the design. Though it features "ears" above where the disc is mounted, the disc itself protrudes above them, meaning Dragon Slayer relies on its weapon being powered to self-right. Dragon Slayer kicked off its first BattleBots season with a win over veteran Hal Rucker and DUCK! after tearing up its beak early on.
Team captain Jordan Neal had previously attempted to compete in the 2020 season with a robot called Piranha, but was not selected.https://www.instagram.com/dragonslayerbattlebot/ According to the show, he received guidance and advice from Jonathan Schultz and Will Bales ahead of the 2021 season.
==Robot History==
===Discovery Season 6===
Dragon Slayer vs. DUCK!
Dragon Slayer’s first fight in BattleBots was against veteran DUCK!, who was coming off of a loss to Witch Doctor. 
As the match got underway, Dragon Slayer immediately tore off part of DUCK!’s lifting beak, essentially disabling it for the rest of the fight. Dragon Slayer continued to pressure DUCK! by landing in a few more shots, resulting in the beak of DUCK! damaged more. DUCK! however, was able to fire back and pushed Dragon Slayer into the wall before Dragon Slayer was able to land another hit on DUCK!’s beak. Both bots then go into a pushing battle before DUCK! backs away to regroup. Dragon Slayer meanwhile gets caught by the pulverizer controlled by Team Black and Blue but was able to free themselves. Dragon Slayer continued to hit DUCK! with the latter being able to sometimes stop Dragon Slayer’s spinner and push it around. However, both bots were slowly losing lift as DUCK!’s drive system was much slower and Dragon Slayer’s spinner was less powerful and was stopping very much often after a hit. DUCK! gets caught on the killsaws before the match ends. Dragon Slayer won by unanimous decision, and gave it its first BattleBots win and advanced to 1-0.
Dragon Slayer vs. Minotaur
Dragon Slayer's second opponent was former BattleBots runner-up Minotaur, and he flipped and flipped Minotaur Out Of The Arena and Minotaur sets to 0-2
