Alcoholic Stepfather

**Alcoholic Stepfather** was a SuperHeavyweight built by Team Kahuna that competed at the 2004 RFL Nationals, and RoboGames 2005. It was a Silver, four wheeled, invertible wedge robot armed with a flamethrower which had a rather unusual method of propulsion due to its use of Mechanium Wheels. This allowed it to move in any direction, and was rather disorientating to watch, and also made it a crowd favorite. Despite this Alcoholic Stepfather wasn't all that successful, only winning two fights during its RoboGames/ComBots career.

Alcoholic Stepfather fought in the classic Battlebots, but had no success.

Alcoholic Stepfather was originally built for BattleBots where it competed in Season 4.0, and 5.0 losing its only battle in each event. It then competed in Steel Conflict 3 where it lost both of its fights as well.

Following this disastrous run Alcoholic Stepfather was rebuilt into its final configuration with the flamethrower. It then competed in the Steel Conflict hosted Southwest Division Championships where it went 3-1.
Doomba

**Doomba** is a Heavyweight robot that was originally constructed by **Caustic Creations** for RoboGames 2018 but was later given to **Bots FC** who first attempted to enter it into Season 3 of the Battlebots reboot before entering it into RoboGames 2018 due to **Mega Melvin** being in China at the time.

Doomba is a four-wheeled, low, circular shell spinner with a terrifying death hum. It is clad in pink vinyl (originally bare metal). Despite this it lost its only battle in RoboGames 2015 giving it the dubious honor of being one of the few true one-time losers in RoboGames history.

## Robot History

### RoboGames 2015

"*What scares me is puttin that 6000 dollars and having that thing go up in flames. (laughs) Tend not to think about that too much but there's always the risk.*"
— Zach Goff
 Doomba's only known "fight" was scheduled to be against Jerome Miles's **HyperBite**. However for reasons unknown Doomba forfeited this match, and it is unknown whom it was drawn against next, if it drew anyone at all as the robot was later observed spinning up during a demonstration near the end of the event.

### RoboGames 2018

Now under the ownership of Bots FC, Doomba is set to make its debut after its failed 2015 attempt, and is currently registered for RoboGames 2018. However at the last minute Bots FC announced that they were unable to get Doomba to California as the team member transporting it had fallen severely ill along the way leaving Doomba stranded, and instead cobbled together an army of smaller robots entitled **Cluster Flock** to compete in its place.

Evil Plunger

**Evil Plunger** is a Heavyweight robot built by **Team Plumb Crazy** that competed in RoboGames 2015 as a replacement for **Sewer Snake**. It was a Silver, six-wheeled robot, armed with a lifter. However Evil Plunger performed poorly considering the expectations for the machine, winning two fights against machines that were barely mobile, and losing two fights in its only RoboGames appearance. Evil Plunger would go on to have greater success on Season 1 of the ABC BattleBots Reboot, reaching the Quarter-Finals as **Stinger: The Killer Bee**, a moniker used previously by Sewer Snake for BattleBots.

**PSS Ant** was an Antweight built by **Team Plumb Crazy** that competed at the July 2003 RSA Meetup. It was a Silver, four-wheeled, invertible, wedge robot with no active weaponry. PSS Ant did very poorly in the competition, losing both of its battles. Team Plumb Crazy would later go on to build the highly successful Heavyweight **Sewer Snake** which would become a dominant force in both RoboGames, and ComBots up until its hiatus in 2013.

## Robot History

### July 2003 RSA Meetup

Nothing is known about how PSS Ant fared exactly in this event as pretty much all records of the July 2003 RSA Meetup has been lost to time. What is known however is that it lost its first match to **Little Bugger**, this put it in the losers bracket against **VDD**. PSS Ant lost this fight as well, and was eliminated from the 2003 RSA Holiday Games.

Lionheart

**Lionheart** is a Middleweight robot built by Team Toad that has been competing sporaddicly in the US since 2002, and made its RoboGames debut in the 2017 event.

It is a gray, two-wheeled, invertible, octagonal shaped robot armed with a 25 pound front steel thwacking wedge. Lionheart is also capable of adjusting the height of the wedge, giving it the ability to almost constantly have zero ground clearance.

Despite this Lionheart did poorly in competition. This was likely due to the fact that the robot, while updated properly, was running old fasteners for the wedge, and old casters. This caused problems with the wedge staying on in its fight against General, as well as giving it a larger ground clearance than it should have had.

Team Toad also competed on BattleBots with Hypothermia and Texas Twister, with some success.

## Robot History

### RoboGames 2017

   Lionheart's first match was against **Sliver King**. This match was dominated by Sliver King until Sliver King rammed Lionheart into the wall, and both bots got stuck. In a controversial move, the refs, and judges ruled that Sliver King had pinned Lionheart, and gave the win to Lionheart.

This put Lionheart in the next round where it faced **General**. This match started with Lionheart immediately charging at the disc of General, trying to stop it before it got up to speed. This however failed, and General popped it up into the air, but Lionheart landed right-side up.

Lionheart then got under General, but General got away, and delivered a hit that sent Lionheart flying, flipping it, and ripping off Lionhearts wedge. Before Lionheart could escape, General then charged it, and spun Lionheart out of the arena for the KO.

This put Lionheart in the loser's bracket where it faced **NIGHTHAWK**. This match started with NIGHTHAWK capitalizing on a driving error by Lionheart, and slamming it into the wall. It continued this tactic until time ran out, damaging the arena floor in the process, and won a 22-11 judges decision meaning Lionheart was eliminated from the competition.

## Outside RoboGames

Lionheart was originally built to compete in Season 6.0 of Comedy Centrals *BattleBots*. However the show was canceled, and Lionheart competed at Team Toad's *Robot Club & Grille*. It did well there winning two championships at RCG-212, and RCG-301.

It then competed at the 2003 Steel Conflict hosted *Triangle Series Nationals* where it went 2-2. Lionheart then retired until 2006 when it reappeared, and competed at *BattleBeach 4* where it once again went 2-2. After this Lionheart competed at the *2006 RFL Nationals*, which unlike the previous RFL Nationals were not hosted by ComBots LLC.

It lost both of its fights there, and retired for another 10 years before finally making its RoboGames debut.
Death by Monkeys

**Death by Monkeys** was a Lightweight built by **Team Death by Monkeys** that competed in RoboGames 2005-2008, and RoboGames 2010. It was a four wheeled, Black, invertible robot with a fanged monkey skull painted on the top. It had no active weapons, but it did have a hinged spiked plow that could be swapped out for a wedge depending on the opponent. Death by Monkeys did very well at RoboGames, winning the Silver in 2006, and Bronze in 2008. Death by Monkeys was retired after 2010 after a very successful career. But it will come out of retirement for Robogames 2017.

## Robot History

### RoboGames 2017

After Receiving a bye in the first round Death by Monkey's first match was supposed to be against **Wanna Go?** However Death by Monkeys was a no show, and was forced to forfeit the match. This put it in the loser's bracket where it was supposed to face **Bugalele**. However Death by Monkeys was once again a no show, and was eliminated from the competition.

Preda Raptor

Preda Raptor (originally named "Tripulta Raptor") first made it's entrance in Robogames 2010, then a reappearance in Robogames 2011 and finally Robogames 2013. It was built by veteran Chuck Pitzer and Team Raptor.

Following it's aesthetic and subtle design, Preda Raptor achieved moderate success, managing a win over *Smash & Wrecker* and Promethus, plus a KO against Vlad The Impaler II. What's more, Preda Raptor dominated in a brawl-out over Sewer Snake but found itself on the losing end and meeting it's beginning in the end against *Brutality*.

Additionally, Preda Raptor once appeared in a bud light commercial and "lost" to a mini fridge because the driver was distracted by a bud light. So then someone built an actual robot out of a "*Mini Fridge"* expecting it to get annihilated - but in a match of dominance Preda Raptor once again found itself on the losing end.

Futhermore, the base/chasis of Preda Raptor was later used for the foundation of *Ghost Raptor*, a semifinalist which competed in Battlebots, seasons 2015 and 2016. Preda Raptor also made an appearance in the American Comedy television series "*LabRats."*

Preda Raptor also debuted in Battlebots, season 2.0 and 3.0, as a heavyweight/superheavyweight.

## Robot History

### RoboGames 2011

Preda Raptor first faced team tiki's robot **Minifridge**. The match started well for Preda Raptor, damaging Minifridge's tracks and crushing the fridge itself. Amazingly Minifridge was still able to drive with no problem. However it also had no weapon because the hammer had been disabled. Then Minifridge pushed Preda Raptor to the wall where Preda Raptor lost drive and tapped out. This meant that Preda Raptor was now in the loser's bracket where it faced horazontal bar spinner **Pump**. Preda Raptor won this match meaing it was still in and would advanced to the next round where it face the lifer robot **Gruff**. Preda Raptor won the match and advanced to the next round where it faced the powerful flipper **Son of Ziggy**. Preda Raptor lost by KO after being stuck on its side against the wall. This meant that Preda Raptor was out.

Lynx

RoboGames 2023

## Overview

**Lynx** is a Beetleweight robot built by Calvin Iba that competed at RoboGames 2023. Lynx entered RoboGames 2023 already having established itself as one of the most successful 3lbers of all time racking up a record of at the very least 87-10 and proceeded to carve a similar path of destruction through the 3lb division at RG23 to win the gold medal with a 5-0 record.

The robot is a traditional 4wd vertical spinner using an eggbeater and is painted orange on the weapon and wedge with a black colored top panel. Additionally sponsor stickers for Robot Power adorn the side armor which consists of unpainted UHMW. Lynx is invertible, using bunny ears to keep the weapon off the ground when upside down, however it needs to be upright to use said weapon, and will right itself typically by ramming into the wall or its opponent weapon first when inverted.

Houston

**Houston** was a Middleweight robot built by students from Grants High School in Grants, New Mexico that competed in RoboGames 2017. It was a black, box-shaped robot with the acronym ROFL scrawled on the side, it was armed with a pneumatic flipping arm. Houston did not do that well in competition, winning only one fight against another robot from Grants High School, T-800.

## Robot History

### RoboGames 2017

   Houston's first ever match was against fellow Grants High School creation, **T-800**. This match started with T-800 spinning up, and slamming itself into the wall, Houston then cornered it and briefly prevented it from spinning up to full speed.

However T-800 then got up to full speed, and whilst going for an attack run on Houston, pulled a mauler that flipped itself upside down, and was counted out. All this took place in less than a minute giving Houston the win by an easy KO.

This put Houston through to the next round where it faced reigning Gold Medalists, **Apolkalipse**. This match started with Apolkalipse spinning up to speed, and rushing Houston, the resulting hit knocked Houston's flipper sideways, rendering it useless. Apolkalipse then delivered a hit to the side of Houston, which stopped moving, and was counted out, giving Apolkalipse the KO in 30 seconds.

   This meant that Houston was now in the loser's bracket where it faced **MANDiii**. This match started with Houston box rushing MANDiii, however despite getting under it twice it misfired both times and MANDiii got up to speed and started emitting its death hum. MANDiii then delivered a blow to Houston that knocked loose its top panel, Houston then flipped MANDiii in retaliation.

"*Gotta give it to Houston, they said their flipper would be MANDiii proof, and appearantly it is... But it looks like they have just broken a ram!*"
— Mark Elam praising Houston's weapon durability right before MANDiii breaks it.

However Houston lost one of its flipper springs as a result of this, and MANDiii came in for another attack, ripping the top panel of Houston loose completely, and busting its flipper ram. MANDiii, now in control proceeded to rop chunks off of Houston which shortly thereafter stopped moving and MANDiii did a victory spin. This of course meant that Houston was eliminated from the competition.

Robo Loco

**Robo Loco** was a SuperHeavyweight robot built by **Team Loose Screw** that competed at Robogames 2004, and 2007. It was a two wheeled invertable robot armed with a spinning bar. Robo Loco did not do well in its competitions, losing all four of its matches across the two tournaments.

Robo Loco also competed at Battlebots Season 5.0 where it performed better, going 2-1.

## Robot History

Most of the 2004, and 2007 Robogames SuperHeavyweight competition has been lost to time, and all of Robo Locos fights (with the exception of Vladiator’s) are no exception only the results will be listed.

### RoboGames 2004

Robo Locos first fight was against **Tombstone****,** a fellow 2 wheeled bar spinner. Robo Loco lost this fight, and was put in the losers bracket against Shell Spinner **OUCH!**. Robo Loco lost this fight as well, meaning they were eliminated from the tournament.

### Robogames 2007

Robo Loco returned for the 2007 event, where it faced **Vladiator** in the first round.

This match started with Robo Loco getting up to speed. Then it hit Vladiator with it's weapon not causing much damage. After a couple hits Robo Loco's blade stopped spinning and starting to be push around by Vladiator. This continued until Robo Loco started smoking and stopped moving. Valdiator won the match by KO, putting Robo Loco in the losers bracket where it faced **The Judge**.

It was a four wheeled, invertible box shaped robot with a hinged wedge at the front. Lil Shocker did extremely well in competition, becoming the 2004 Nationals Hobbyweight Runner-up, taking the championship the following year, as well as winning two Bronze Medals at RoboGames 2005, and 2006, and reaching the quarterfinals in ROBOLympics 2004.

## Robot History

### ROBOLympics 2004

   Lil Shocker's first fight was against **B-Basher**. It won this fight, and advanced to the next round where it faced **Xenophobia**. It won this match, and advanced to the quarterfinals where it fought **Solaris**. This fight began with Lil Shocker taking Solaris to the wall multiple times before Solaris got a pop in on the back of Lil Shocker.

Lil Shocker then got under Solaris a few more times before Solaris caught the side of Lil Shocker's wedge, sending sparks everywhere. Solaris then attacked Lil Shocker a few more times before Lil Shocker got under Solaris, and attempted to take it to the wall. This however failed, and Solaris delivered pop to the side of Lil Shocker, which then retaliated by taking Solaris to the wall, flipping it.

   Solaris then spent a while trying to right itself, before Lil Shocker managed to pin the still inverted drum bot. After the pin time had expired Solaris finally managed to right itself, but Lil Shocker drove it into the wall yet again. Solaris got free, and Lil Shocker attempted to ram it, but only drove into the wall itself, this allowed Solaris to deliver a large hit that popped Lil Shocker into the air, doing damage to its mobility.

Lil Shocker then got under Solaris again, which promptly escaped, and delivered another attack, sending Lil Shocker airborne once again. Solaris followed this up by delivering a massive hit that sent Lil Shocker flying, and jammed one of its wedges in the up position, and disabling one half of its drive. Solaris then attacked another time, this time ripping one of the hinges off of the jammed up wedge, leaving it sitting askew on the side of Lil Shocker.

Solaris then delivered yet another hit, ripping the front wedge off of Lil Shocker, before nearly ripping off the damaged side wedge. Solaris then flipped Lil Shocker as time ran out. Unsurprisingly the judges decision went to Solaris, meaning that Lil Shocker was now in the loser's bracket where it faced **Mr. Shadow**. It lost this match as well, and was eliminated from the competition.

H-Bomb

**H-Bomb** was a Hobbyweight built by **Team Misfit** that competed in RoboGames 2007. Not much is known about this bot other than that It was part of "The Bomb" line of robots which also included **Atom Bomb**, and **The Bomb**. Knowing this it is certain that H-Bomb was a two-wheeled, Silver, invertible robot armed with a powerful spinning drum. H-Bomb did poorly in RoboGames, losing both of its fights, and Team Misfit never built another bot larger than a Beetleweight afterwards.

## RoboGames History

### RoboGames 2007

It is unknown how exactly H-Bomb performed at RoboGames 07, other than it lost its first fight to **Ingor, Eater of Souls**. It then lost its second fight to **Wedgio**, and this meant that H-Bomb was eliminated from the competition.

Son of Spam did well in competition, reaching the semi-finals of RoboGames 2011, and the quarter-finals of RoboGames 2017, as well as placing third in the Lightweight division in ComBots Cup VI.

Surprisingly for a weaponless robot Son of Spam managed to become a crowd favorite amongst the spectator crowd in the 2017 event when it was broadcasted on Twitch becoming one of the rare weaponless robots to achieve this.

## Robot History

### RoboGames 2017

Son of Spam's first match was against newcomers **Bugalele**. Son of Spam spent this match aggressively slamming Bugalele around until its weapon broke, and then repeatedly slamming it against the arena walls to win the judges decision. So of Spam then advanced to the next round where it faced **UnMakerBot**.

This match started with UnMakerBot spinning up, and hitting Son of Spam once, at which point Son of Spam stopped moving, and was counted out. This sent Son of Spam to the loser's bracket where it faced **Tremor**.

This match started with Son of Spam and Tremor positioning. However a driving error put Son of Spam onto Tremor's wedge prongs, but Tremor was unable to take advantage of this as Son of Spam quickly escaped.

Son of Spam then drove onto Tremors wedge again, this time from the front, and started using its superior torque to shove Tremor around before backing off, and getting under Tremor. Whilst trying to escape Son of Spam, Tremor then spun away, into the arena wall.

Son of Spam then lined up for a shot on Tremor but missed, and hit the wall, but recovered, got under Tremor once more, and slammed it against the wall. Both robots then locked wedges for a while before Son of Spam repeatedly slammed Tremor into the wall yet again. The robots then slammed into each other as the time ran out, with the Twitch.tv chat posting Spam in the chat.

Unsurprisingly not only did Son of Spam win the resulting judges decision, but it also became a newly minted crowd favorite, becoming one of the few pure wedges to do so. This put it in the next round where it faced Brazillian robot, **Aquilies**.

Pico Touro

**Pico Touro** is a Fairyweight robot built by **Team RioBotz** that competed in RoboGames 2012 2013, 2015, and 2016. Like all robots in the Touro line of bots it is a two-wheeled, invertible, compact drum spinner. However Pico Touro has not really had all that much success in combat compared to the other robots in the Touro line.

## RoboGames History

### RoboGames 2017

Both Spintronic and Pico Touro were tentative until Spintronic landed a great hit to the front of Pico Touro. However, they were not aggressive at the start with Pico Touro struggling to drive properly. The ring spinner was continuing to deliver weak hits to the sides of the drum fairyweight. Pico Touro could not mount any effective retaliation throughout the whole match. Once the full 2 minutes elapsed, the judges gave the victory to Spintronic.

Pico Touro was controlled by Crunchberry the entire match. Riobotz’s fairyweight was not able to land a single good shot and its tendency to flip around from gyroscopic forces was exacerbating its chances. Both robots made it to the last second with Crunchberry winning the Judges’ decision.

FunsDead

**FunsDead** was a heavyweight robot built by **Jason Lineberger** that competed in Robogames 2015. It was a 2 wheeled ,silver ,boxed shaped robot armed with a horizontal spinning bar. It did not do well in competition, losing both of it’s matches.

## Robot History

### Robogames 2015

FunsDead was the first fight of the event that year and was matched up against the fan favorite; **Ragin Scotsman**.

As the match began, FunsDead easily spun up to full speed, but moved only a couple inches forward while Ragin Scotsman charged right at it. The head on collision caused FunsDead's spinner to stop working. Ragin Scotsman then slammed FunsDead up against the wall. The impact bent the axles of FunsDead meaning it couldn't move. Ragin Scotsman would then activate it's flamethrower and blast hot flames at FunsDead before it was counted out.

This loss sent FunsDead to the loser's bracket where it had to face **Counter Revolution**.

The fight would start with both robots spinning up to full speed. The two robots would collide and the collision would slice FunsDead's bar in half, leaving FunsDead unstable. This allowed Counter Revolution to come up around FunsDead and hit it's wheel. The impact sent FunsDead flying and it landed upside down against the arena wall. Counter Revolution would then deliver one final hit to FunsDead and mangled it’s spinner bracket and FunsDead tapped out and was eliminated from the tournament.

Tricerabot

**Tricerabot** was a Hobbyweight robot built by Team Industrial Might & Logic that competed in ROBOLympics 2004, and RoboGames 2005. It was a silver, two-wheeled, triangular sit 'n' spin robot armed with nine triangular teeth. The robot was driven by two drill motors, and could spin up to a top speed of around 12mph. Tricerabot did poorly in competition, losing all but one of its fights, and retiring after RoboGames 2005.

## Robot History

### ROBOLympics 2004

After recieving a bye in the first round, Tricerabot's first opponent was **Xenophobia**. This fight started with Xenophobia spinning up to speed, and attacking Tricerabot, however this backfired, and resulted in Xenophobia breaking its weapon motor. Xenophobia then got stuck in a gap in the wall, and Tricerabot freed it before getting stuck itself.

Xenophobia then freed Tricerabot, which soon got stuck again, and the match was paused to unstick Tricerabot. When the match resumed the robots tussled for a short while before Tricerabot got stuck once more. Xenophobia freed it again, however Tricerabot promptly got itself stuck again almost immediatly, and was counted out.

This put Tricerabot in the loser's bracket where it faced **B-Basher**. This match started with B-Basher rushing at Tricerabot, and almost immediatly getting stuck under the wall. Strangely there was no unstick, and B-Basher was counted out.

Tricerabot's next match was against **Mr. Shadow**. This fight started with Tricerabot slamming Mr. Shadow into the side of the arena. However this did nothing, and Mr. Shadow retaliated by delivering a blow ith its flywheel that flipped Tricerabot on its back where it was counted out.

### RoboGames 2005

Tricerabot's first match was against **Lil Shocker**. It lost this match by KO, and was now in the loser's bracket where it faced **Kick-me Kate**. It lost this fight by KO as well, and was eliminated from the competition.

Khashaba

"*Scary compact drum from Team Blanka Bots, current Indian Middleweight champions and FMB grand finalists with their other Middleweight Taanji.*"
— MudnuK
 **Khasaba** is a Middleweight robot from India built by **BLANKA BOTZ** currently registered to compete at RoboGames 2018. It is a compact, two-wheeled, silver, octagon-shaped robot armed with an extremely powerful vertical flywheel capable of both sending robots flying, and causing massive amounts of destruction.

However it is not invertible, however despite this, the robot, and teams's pedigree, as well as Touro being waitlisted alongside a majority of the Brazilian robots made Khasaba one of the favorites to win a Medal going into the 2018 RoboGames. Despite all the hype around Khashaba it would ultimately drop out of the competition after registration had closed.

## Outside RoboGames

Khashaba and BLANKA BOTZ in general has had a relatively storied history in Indian Robot Combat where Khashaba first appeared in 2016 and proceeded to win numerous events by completely destroying its opposition, and even becoming the first Indian robot in history to throw an opponent Out of the Arena doing so to Defiance in the IITB 2016 final.

BLANKA BOTZ running off the success of Khashaba then created a Featherweight version of Khashaba named Dara which won the 2'nd 2017 FMB World Cup in China defeating OYES Robotics's Dreamcrusher in the finals. Later that year the team built another Middleweight, this time a drum spinner called Taanji which won the 2017 IITB Techfest, and came in runner-up at the 2018 FMB World Cup Finals after a loss to Karma.
Light Speed

**Light Speed** was a Speeder built by Team Whitney which registered to compete in the 2003 RSA Holiday Games, and the inaugural ROBOlympics event. Owing to a lack of records on events other than the combat classes no known pictures of Light Speed exist and it is unknown how well it did or if it even competed at all.
Crash n' Burn

**Crash n' Burn** is a Heavyweight multibot from Canada that competed at RoboGames 2017. It is a pair of two nearly identical wedge-bots called Crash, and Burn, both armed with flamethrowers. Crash is the orange robot, and Burn is the blue one.

Despite a rocky start in the competition, Crash n' Burn proved to be quite tough, and did quite well in competition, taking out legends **Megabyte**, and **Last Rites** by KO, only being eliminated from the tournament by eventual Silver Medalists **Whiplash**.

The team that built Crash n’ Burn applied to BattleBots with Hack & Slash, a multi bot with a similar design. It was accepted, but the team had to drop out due to COVID-19 and work commitments.

## Robot History

### RoboGames 2017

   Crash n' Burn's first match was against **Sabre-X**. This match started with Sabre-X spinning up, and Crash n' Burn swarming it in an attempt to stop the flywheel of Sabre-X. Burn then got under Sabre-X, however Sabre-X got around to the side of Crash, and shredded its wheel immobilizing it on one side.

With Crash now left spinning in circles, Sabre-X then went after Burn as Crash deployed its flamethrower. Sabre then shredded the wheel on Burn as well, and backed off to see if the multibots were still mobile.

Once the duo started moving again Sabre-X went in for the attack once more, ripping into Burn's wheel once again. The countdown then started on Crash n' Burn, but three seconds from being counted out, Burn moved, and Sabre-X came in, and finished it off, and Crash n' Burn were finally counted out with less than 30 seconds left on the clock.

This loss put Crash n' Burn in the loser's bracket where they faced **Vlad the Impaler II**.
