Gigabyte (2018)

Gigabyte is a heavyweight robot built by the Robotic Death Company which competed in the third season of the BattleBots reboot on Discovery and Science. It is a full-body spinner similar to its brother, Megabyte, except way more powerful. It also has a self-righting bar to both right itself and tell the drivers which direction it is going. It also has a rainbow color scheme, so that when it spins, it creates a colored mess.
The team previously competed in the second season of ABC's BattleBots reboot with Invader, but it lost in its first and only battle against Mohawk and Lycan.
==Robot History==
===Discovery Season 3===
Gigabyte's first opponent was against the reigning champion Tombstone. For this match, the team opted to not have the self-righting pole that was also used for direction, intending to have Tombstone ride up the spinning shell and take control of the fight. When the match began, however, things didn't go well at all for Gigabyte as the initial impact between both bots caused the attachment for the pole that was manufactured in China to snap off, which left the spinning shell without anything solid holding it in place. Making matters worse, the second hit took off the shell itself, exposing the robot's insides. The robot was still functional but the team wanted to tap out to avoid further damage. However, this was against tournament rules so they were forced to keep going. After a bit more movement, Gigabyte deliberately stopped moving to avoid further damage and was counted out, giving Tombstone the win by KO.

"This robot's like an ex-wife, really mean and it's gonna hurt you. No, no, seriously. That's an actual quote from the builder. He said that. It's GIGABYTE!".
