Bert the Brick

## Overview

Bert the Brick is a 60lb house robot at NHRL. He is made of steel and driven by 2 powered skateboard trucks. He uses 4 VESC Motor controllers. Brett also houses an HD Camera where he serves as an in-ring camera person. Brett is powered by a 20,000 MaH Lipo at 6s. It was first made in March 2021 for the second beetle arena at Norwalk.

## Power Switch Legend

Bert is equipped with a large red power switch originally designed as a marine battery disconnect. Rumor has it that if any robot is able to shut down Bert during a match they would win the NHRL tournament for the weight class they have entered. While winning the weight class is possible, it is a certainty that any robot that can switch off Bert by switching his power switch will win $1000.00 and the match they are fighting in.
Alienator

**Alienator** was a featherweight entered into Series 7 of Robot Wars by Team Desert Storm. Despite surviving until the end of its heat, Alienator was eliminated on a judges' decision.

## Robot History

Alienator began by attacking DTK, Staglet and Bernard in turn. It then attacked Mammoth twice before speeding away. Staglet then grabbed Alienator and dragged it onto the flame pit. Alienator escaped and returned to the action. It was then charged by Bernard before smashing into the pit release button. As the numbers of featherweights still mobile depleted, Alienator remained stuck by the pit release button. Refbot came in to count it out, but on 5, Alienator suddenly came back to life and drove off. DTK then pushed it, before fighting with both it and Bernard. As Mammoth was counted out, DTK flipped it again and the two robots continued to clash until cease was called. The judges put Bernard and DTK through, eliminating Alienator.

Bane (Heavyweight)

Bane was a Heavyweight robot that competed in the 2005 BattleBots Rochester R3 event. It was a Red, black, and green robot with fanged teeth and eye graphics. Bane was armed with a spinning full body ring spinner, but strangely despite this weapon choice was not invertible. To prevent other robots from getting under it, Bane had hinged skirts all around the body to in an attempt to give it zero ground clearance. Despite all this however, Bane performed poorly in BattleBots, as it lost both of its matches.
Argh!

**Argh!** was a featherweight robot that competed in and won the Featherweight Championship of the second series of Robot Wars Extreme. It was entered by Team Reptirron, who also competed in Series 4, 6 and 7 of Robot Wars with the Reptirron series of heavyweight robots, although with considerably less success. Like all the other featherweight champions, Argh! did not return to defend its title.

It is also known to have contested *War in the Wolds 2002* where it took part in 2 battles and lost them both and the 2003 *Featherweight Smash* event where it came 3rd.

## Robot History

In the heats, Argh! began by attacking Eddy Evolution, tearing parts off of the latter robot. However, it spent most of the battle attacking Neoteric, causing substantial damage and eventually immobilising the other disc-wielding robot. While Argh! attacked Neoteric, Eddy Evolution, A.M.C.V. and Gi-Ant-O had also become eliminated, allowing Argh! to go through alongside Bernard.

In the Final, Argh! charged straight into the middle of the action, cutting into several opponents before becoming beached on Cutlet. Escaping, Argh! then ran into Gladiator, sending it flying up onto its rear. It then attacked the one-wheeled Katnip, carefully pushing it into the pit. Argh! slid beneath Bernard, but an attack from Micro-Mute caused both machines to separate. Soon after, Cutlet broke down as a result of the damage it received from Argh!, and Bernard was left beached on the edge of the pit. Finally, Argh! charged into Gladiator, pushing it into the side wall and dislodging one of its large wheels. Argh! tried to pit Cutlet as time ran out, and unanimously won the Judges' decision.

Abaddon (US)

Not to be confused with the UK Robot of the same name

   **Abaddon** was a superheavyweight robot which competed in the final two seasons of BattleBots. It was a black two-wheeled robot armed with two front spikes. It performed well in competition, winning two fights and being seeded for Season 5.0.

The robot was named after the mythological being of the same name: Abaddon being the 'Angel from the Bottomless Pit' and also known as the ruler of Hell before Satan.

## Robot History

### Season 4.0

Abaddon's first match in Season 4.0 was up against the full body spinner of Tortoise in the final preliminary round. Tortoise hit Abaddon, but then got pushed into the wall and held by Abaddon so it couldn't spin up. Eventually Tortoise got away, and spun up. Once again, Abaddon stopped Tortoise without getting damaged. This was because Abaddon's pronged weapon was high enough to hit Tortoise above its teeth and stopped it from spinning. Abaddon effectively pushed Tortoise around and kept its speed down all match, not letting Tortoise hit Abaddon anywhere in the back or sides more than once or twice. In the end, Abaddon won on a 40-5 judge's decision and advanced to the TV rounds, where it faced High Impact.

Abaddon won the match by KO at 2:38 and advanced to the round of 32, where it faced Rammstein. In the match, Abaddon was pierced several times by Rammstein's spike and both robots pushed each other. The match lasted the duration and the judges awarded the win to Rammstein on a 27-18 decision. This meant that Abaddon was eliminated from the tournament.

As of 2015, it is unknown if Abaddon participated the superheavyweight consolation rumble at the end of the tournament.

### Season 5.0

Due to Abaddon's performance from Season 4.0, Abaddon became seeded and was able to skip to the round of 32, having an unlucky draw against the Season 1.0 superheavyweight champion Minion. Abaddon fought well, but Minion was the clear aggressor, getting under Abaddon with its wedge. Minion won on a 26-19 judge's decision and Abaddon was eliminated from the tournament again.

Abaddon couldn't compete in the superheavyweight consolation rumble because the rest of the rumbles were canceled due to an accident with Nightmare during the heavyweight consolation rumble.

6 Million Dollar Mouse

## Overview

**6 Million Dollar Mouse** (alternatively $6 Million Mouse on the battleboard of the US Championship) from North Carolina, was a robot that competed in Season 1 of Robot Wars: Extreme Warriors. It was box shaped, with a spinning lawnmower blade as its weapon. It appeared to be a "comedy entry" as described by Stefan Frank, but actually managed to come second in the Civil War, though it lost in the first round of the other two events it entered.

Its name was a pun on the American television show, The Six Million Dollar Man.

## Robot History

6 Million Dollar Mouse fought in the Civil War representing the Confederacy and in the first round faced Falcon. The lawnmower blade got up to speed and hit the rear of Falcon, ripping into its rear panel. Team Litewav's entrant pushed Falcon across the flame pit, but Falcon fought back, getting underneath 6 Million Dollar Mouse with the wedge shape and tipping it onto its side, though Falcon failed to flip over 6 Million Dollar Mouse. 6 Million Dollar Mouse pushed Falcon near the pit, but after failing to push it in, shoved Falcon into Shunt, who landed some axe blows. The fight went to the judges, who ruled in favour of 6 Million Dollar Mouse.

Sobek spent the early stages of the Civil War second round match pushing around 6 Million Dollar Mouse, but 6 Million Dollar Mouse retaliated with some slams with its blade. The sustained attacks caused one of Sobek's self-righting arms and wheels to fall off. Sobek was counted out by Refbot and pitted. Within a few seconds of the activate command in the final though, Manta got in underneath 6 Million Dollar Mouse and turned it on its side. Sir Killalot picked it up, held it over the flame pit and placed it on the floor flipper. It was thrown back on its wheels, but it wasn't too long before Manta pushed it into the pit.

The two robots made contact with their spinning weapons, but UK representative Pussycat cut into the sides of 6 Million Dollar Mouse. The American machine bumped into the arena wall, causing its nose to fall off. Soon, the blade of 6 Million Dollar Mouse was bent onto its own chassis by the saw of Pussycat. Another slam immobilized the American representative, and it was counted out by Refbot. It actually came back to life after Refbot's counter had hit ten, but Dead Metal and Sir Killalot attacked. Sir Killalot snapped off the American flag that 6 Million Dollar Mouse was brandishing, and waved it across the arena. Dead Metal disposed of the beaten robot.

In the US Championship, 6 Million Dollar Mouse fought against Falcon, The Brute, Red Virus, Shuriken and Medusa Oblongata for one place in the second round. It stayed out of the early action until it hit Shuriken with its blade. It attacked Medusa Oblongata later on, with another hit, but failed to win the battle which went to the judges between five of the robots, as they declared that The Brute was the victor.

Bang (Heavyweight)

**Bang** was a loaner robot that fought in Season 2.0 of *Robot Wars: Extreme Warriors*. It was a large wooden box armed with a morning-star axe, with the capability of pulling a pick-up truck at 14 miles per hour.

It had a white paint scheme with red dots. Bang fought alongside Snookums in the Tag Team Terror competition, again under Team Boltz. Both times, the robot was eliminated in the first round.

In the first season, it was given to Team Boltz and fought in the Robot Rebellion as Rot Box.

## Robot History

### Extreme Warriors Season 2

Bang fought alongside Snookums in the tag team terror against G-Force and Sir Force A Lot. Snookums and G-Force started this battle. Snookums was axed, and tagged Bang. Bang had its tyre damaged by Force A Lot and drove over the flame pit. It was attacked by the house robots and pitted, along with Snookums.

AnThwacks

**AnThwacks** was a US Antweight from East Northport, Long Island, New York that competed at the 2004 House of NERC event. However as the records for the Antweight division of the event have been lost to time it is unknown how well AnThwacks did. Although as it was retired after the event it presumably performed poorly.

AnThwacks was a black, two-wheeled, carbon-fibre, invertible, wedge-shaped robot with the wedge also doubling as a thwacking arm. However it had a glaring weakness in that its electronics were exposed in the rear. The name was a pun on the disease "Anthrax".
51

**51** was a Heavyweight robot, built by Team 51 who also entered Series 6 and 7 of Robot Wars with U.F.O. 51 was not entered into any series of *Robot Wars*. 51 was armed with a small lifter and featured two models; one with a hexagonal body, the other with a longer body closely resembling the Series 6 version of UFO. The longer model of 51 entered the Assault Course in the 2003 series of *Techno Games*, where it reached the second round after completing the course in 34.90 seconds, 0.19 seconds faster than Brutal Beetle. However, it subsequently lost in the following round to Mighty Mouse, and in the first round of the Sumo competition against V-Bot. As in Series 7 of *Robot Wars*, team captain Pete Withers was unavailable for filming, so Mark Hamilton stood in as deputy captain.

51 also entered Live Events such as Robot Crusade 2003, where it reached the Final of the Saturday tournament where it lost to The Stag, a robot that had previously beaten it and Draven in the first round.

Blue (Dutch)

*For the Bots FC heavyweight that competed on King of Bots, see Blue (US).*

**Blue** was a robot that competed in the first series of Dutch Robot Wars. Largely considered a joke entry, Blue still caused one of the most unexpected upsets in Dutch Robot Wars when it knocked out Project One, the robot that many people thought would go all the way.

Because the robot was a joke entry that was painted entirely blue, the team provided levity by dressing up like blue-skinned aliens who could not speak. In interviews, the team members, all three of which were referred to as 'Blue', communicated only by handing notes to pit reporter Bridget Maasland, or through a Dutch-speaking crew member named Django, who acted as their mouthpiece.

Team captain Chris Coates was originally from England, but entered Dutch Robot Wars as he was living and working in the Netherlands.

Blue did not appear in the second series, but the captain, Chris Coates, worked with Frank Van Dorschot of Maximill to create a new robot called Bluemax.

## Robot History

Blue's first match was against Project One. Both robots were sluggish and hard to control, but eventually they met, and Project One tore some chunks off of Blue with its axe/lifter combination. Project One then got under Blue, and in the process of lifting it, tore one of Blue's side panels off. Blue then caught on fire, but was still mobile. Project One however, had broken down.

Blue advanced to the Heat Semi-final, where it met Enderbot. Enderbot used its axe to knock off Blue's top panel, leaving its electronics exposed. Enderbot continued to smash Blue with its axe, and Blue lost an entire side panel again. Shunt came in and hammered the panel with its axe, but the panel became stuck onto its axe and couldn't be shaken off. Blue meanwhile had shed its entire outer shell, and was being counted out by Refbot. After it was officially deemed immobile, Shunt, still bearing the chunk of Blue's armour (not dissimmilar to an attack on Banshee in Series 4 of the British wars), pushed Blue into the pit.

Anarachnid

**Anarachnid** was a walkerbot that was involved in a walker battle in Series 3 of Robot Wars. It drew that fight with Mammoth, despite being destroyed by Shunt. It achieved the rare feat of never winning or losing a battle.

## Robot History

Anarachnid was placed up against Mammoth in an exhibition battle, but the two robots were very slow to approach each other, with Mammoth appearing to have mobility problems. Anarachnid eventually reached Mammoth and tried to push it, bending one of its own stalk eyes in the process. Dead Metal grabbed hold of Anarachnid and started cutting into it, before Shunt destroyed its legs and armour. Mammoth was also attacked by the house robots, so the fight finished as a draw. This was Anarachnid's only appearance in the wars.

Annihilator4000

Annihilator4000 is a robot armed with a horizontal blade and a 4WD wedge minibot. Annihilator4000 was covered mostly in plastic armor. It competed only in the NHRL May 2021 event, defeating Tusker and OffTrack, but losing to the legendary Lynx and eventually getting eliminated by Team Already Broke's Murple.
Agrippa

**Agrippa** was a heavyweight robot built by Dan Danknick as part of Team Delta that fought in the Long Beach 1999 BattleBots competition. It was a rather unique robot, connecting two drive systems with a hinged section, giving it added maneuverability, and armed with a long arm covered in circular saw blades. Agrippa won one battle by forfeit, scored a draw, and lost twice in its only BattleBots competition, and was retired afterwards.

## Robot History

Exterminator was supposed to fight Team Delta's Agrippa. But Exterminator had to forfeit due to technical issues sending Agrippa through automatically. Agrippa had to fight Ronin next. The match was a draw and both robots advanced to the next round. Agrippa then fought British robot Razer. Razer won by KO and advanced to the next round, while Agrippa was sent to the Loser's Bracket. Agrippa was in the Loser's Bracket against S.L.A.M. where it was force to forfeit and was eliminated.

Diamondback managed to right Apex Predator before being flipped. Diamondback self righted as Apex Predator took out the minibot. Apex Predator then high centered Diamondback on the wreckage of its own minibot. Brett freed Diamondback who then threw its minibots ESC as it tried a spin attack. Apex Predator developed drive issues that lasted the rest of the match. The fight went to a judges decision where Apex Predator won.

#### Apex Predator vs Spartan

Spartan minibot: Shield

The fight started with both bots spinning up and Apex Predator launching Spartan and Shield to opposite corners of the box before tearing off one of Spartan's forks. Apex Predator then threw Spartan into Shield, causing Spartan to tear off two of Shield's wheels. Apex Predator then got Spartan on top of it before throwing Shield into the ceiling. Somehow, Shield still worked, but Spartan was dead in the water. Spartan tapped out and the win went to Apex Predator.

#### Apex Predator vs Quarantine

The fight started with both bots spinning up and Apex Predator causing Quarantine to faceplant. Apex Predator threw Quarantine around the arena until Quarantine stabilized and returned the favor. The rest of the fight was both bots trading weapon to weapon shots that threw their opponent around the arena. The fight went to a judges decision where Quarantine won.

#### Apex Predator vs Dread Hades

The fight started with both bots spinning up and the drive issues from earlier coming back to bite Apex Predator. Dread Hades paraded Apex Predator around the arena and Apex Predator tapped out, giving the win to Dread Hades.

BattleBots Long Beach 1999

## Overview

**Long Beach 1999** was the first competition ever sanctioned by *BattleBots* in Long Beach, California.

It was held at The Long Beach Pyramid, a 4000-seat multipurpose indoor arena which has since been renamed to Walter Pyramid.

There were three weight classes at the event: Lightweight (named the Kilobots class), Middleweight (named Megabots) and Heavyweight (named Gigabots). Each weight class ran in a double-elimination bracket, dividing the field into a winners bracker and a losers bracket. The tournament was broadcast online on ZDTV (later known as TechTV), and was also taped for the BattleBots Beginnings DVD released in 2004.

For this competition, the Kilobots could weigh between 25-55lbs, or up to 83lbs for walkers. Megabots weighed between 56-109lbs and likewise had a bonus for walking robots: 84-164lbs. The heavyweight Gigabots could weigh from 110-200lbs, or between 165-300lbs for walkers.

The Kilobots division was ultimately won by Ziggo, having fought through the losers bracket to make the latter stages of the competition. Derek Young's Son of Smashy took home the Megabots title after defeating Knee-Breaker in the final, and BioHazard triumphed over the British KillerHurtz to claim the Gigabots crown.

The rumbles for each division were won by HammerHead, Deadblow and Razer respectively.

A copy of the event's brochure is available on Archive.org.

## Robot Statistics

### Weapons

Flipper

*Air '*was a British heavyweight robot armed with a rear-hinged pneumatic flipper. Originally pyramidic, Air is best known from its second version which was constructed using many parts from Envy, acting as its successor, before being rebuilt in 2014 and sold to Team Thundercheese (now Team Ironclads) who renamed it ThunderChild.

## Versions of Air

The original Air was built in 2004. It was roughly pyramid-shaped and armed with a thin flipper. It is known to have fought at the Roaming Robots Nottingham 2004 event and some battles in the first round at Newport for the Roaming Robots Winter Tour 2004, but was retired shortly after this.

A new version of Air was built in 2012 using parts from Robot Combat Hall of Fame inductee Envy. This version was much lower than the original, with a wider and more powerful flipper.

In 2014, Air was rebuilt once more, with a more coffin-shaped design, better-protected wheels and a thinner flipper. This version didn't go out on many outings with Team S.Tek so was sold onto Team Thunderclads where it was renamed ThunderChild.

## Robot History

Air mades its first known debut at the Roaming Robots event in Northampton 2004 which was a last minute event organised for teams that were signed up to take part in the World Championships which had been cancelled. It managed to win its two battles against Thor & PulverizeR. It was also signed up to participate in the first ever Roaming Robots Winter Tour in 2004, however it only appeared in the first round at Newport where it failed to win all four of its battles.

Air fought Dantomkia in Heat E. It only had to flip Dantomkia once to stack it against the fence. This immobilised the black and yellow machine, as its own flipper was not working so it couldn't free itself. After its opponent had been counted out, Air then flipped Dantomkia multiple times, eventually leaving it overturned and immobile once again. This win allowed Air to progress to the quarter-finals.

Here, it faced Maelstrom but lost.

Ankle Grinder

## Overview

Ankle Grinder is a 2WD hobbyweight vertical spinner made for Norwalk by the Missouri S&T Combat Robotics Team. It went 2-2 at its first competition.

## Fight history

### Norwalk Havoc Robot League March 2021

#### Ankle Grinder vs Waterproof Sealant

The fight started with everyone spinning up and Ankle Grinder trying to decide who to go after. Ankle Grinder then popped SMEEEEEE into the air before driving it into Shreddit Bro and causing friendly fire. Ankle Grinder then punted Shreddit Bro and induced more Shreddit Bro/SMEEEEEE friendly fire. Ankle Grinder then punted Shreddit Bro back before sending Droopy across the box and flipping it. Ankle Grinder and SMEEEEEE then locked horns before Ankle Grinder punted SMEEEEEE into Fluffy. SMEEEEEE and Droopy then exchanged some friendly fire before Starchild tried to land a shot on Ankle Grinder. Ankle Grinder then started to suffer from drive problems and the beetles knew this and started swarming Ankle Grinder. Ankle Grinder landed a few more punts onto SMEEEEEE, but the fight went to a judges decision where Waterproof Sealant won.

#### Ankle Grinder vs Fasttrack

The fight started with both bots spinning up and Ankle Grinder flipping Fasttrack into the wall. Fasttrack self righted and tore up part of Ankle Grinder's top plate. Ankle Grinder then pinned Fasttrack to the wall where it got stuck. Fasttrack was counted out and the win went to Ankle Grinder.

#### Ankle Grinder vs Pramheda

The fight started with both bots spinning up and jostling for position before locking horns in a shoving match. Eventually, Pramheda managed to fold Ankle Grinder's wedge up and kill its spinner. Pramheda then flipped Ankle Grinder who was then counted out.

### NHRL 2021 Finals

Despite having qualified in two categories, the Missouri S&T Combat Robotics Team did not compete.

Apollo (Kazakhstan)

*For the Robot Wars Series 8 champion. See: Apollo*

**Apollo** (Kazakh: Аполлон) is a Robot from Kazakhstan built by Angel Burnley that competed at Almaty 2017. It is a miniature clone of the Robot Wars Series 8 champion Apollo. Unlike the robot it was modeled after Apollo did not perform well in competition, losing its one, and only battle against Storm2.

## Robot History

Apollo's first ever match was a demonstration match against Angel's other entry Storm2 (Kazakhstan). This match started with Storm2 getting around to the side of Apollo, however lacking any real pushing power Storm2 backed off. Apollo then got under Storm2, and attempted to flip it but lacked the power necessary to pull this off, and merely lifted it instead.

Storm2 then attempted to get away but Apollo gave chase, and got under Storm2 again, and fired its flipper, this time nearly flipping it. However Apollo then broke down shortly thereafter with Storm2 on top of it, and the match ended with Storm2 the victor. Unlike Storm2 Apollo did not enter the main competition, meaning it had lost its only battle of the event.

### Wins/Losses

Assemuzi

**Assemuzi** was a Lightweight robot from Thailand that competed at Thailand Robot fighting 2016. It was a white, two-wheeled, invertible, wedge-shaped robot with no active weapons. Like most Thai robots it did however have a nuisance bot. Assemuzi was quite fast, and agile, and used this to its advantage against opponents. Despite this speed, and a strong start it ultimately lost in round 1.

## Robot History

### Thailand Robot Fighting 2016

Assemuzi's first opponent was Boar Rampant. This fight started with Assemuzi bolting out of its square, and slamming Boar Rampant against the wall. Boar Rampant got away, and Assemuzi slammed it again before shoving it around the arena for a while before taking it to the wall once more.

However this caused Assemuzi to get stuck, and Boar Rampant took advantage of this, getting under Asemuzi, and grinding away at its underbelly with its bar spinner. Assemuzi recovered, and continued pushing, and slamming Boar Rampant around the arena, before it pinned the later for a while. Boar Rampant got away but was unable to do anything as time ran out shortly thereafter with Assemuzi being declared the winner.

Assemuzi then faced Boar Rampantagain in round two of the fight. This time the match started with Assemuzi bolting out of its square, and flying over the top of Boar Rampant, landing on its back. This caused problems for Assemuzi as it now had a far higher ground clearance which allowed Boar Rampant to get under it, and push it around.

Assemuzi then backed onto Boar Rampant's nuisance bot, and got high centered, however just as it was about to be counted out it got free. Boar Rampant then charged at Assemuzi, sending the later's nuisance bot flying, and pinned Assemuzi. Assemuzi got free however, and after the two bots jockeyed for position Boar Rampant flipped Assemuzi.

However Assemuzi's wedge was so bent by this point that it could do nothing as Boar Rampant shoved it around for the rest of the match. Unsurprisingly the judges gave the win to Boar Rampant, and the robots faced each other again, in round 3.

This match started with Assemuzi trying to get to the side of Boar Rampant, which promptly attacked the former, ripping a large gash in the front wedge of Assemuzi. However this hit also broke Boar rampant's spinning weapon, it did not need it however as it took advantage of Assemuzi's now compromised ground clearance, and slammed it into the wall. After jockeying for position, Assemuzi got to the side of Boar Rampant, and nearly took it to the wall, Boar Rampant escaped however, and got under Assemuzi again nearly taking it to the wall.

Boar Rampant then spun back up, and grinded away at the underbelly of Assemuzi, sending sparks flying. Assemuzi got away, and Boar Rampant suffered a drivetrain failure on one side. However Assemuzi then charged at it again, and Boar Rampant got a critical hit on the side of Assemuzi which immobilized it completely, and it was counted out.

Alien 2

**Alien 2** was a lightweight robot built by Daniel Rupert and Team Malicious which competed in Season 2.0 of BattleBots as a successor to Alien Gladiator. It was a black trapezoidal robot armed with a retracting spear. However, it lost its first battle and thus never appeared on television.

## Robot History

Alien 2's first and only match was against No Tolerance III. In the beginning of the match, No Tolerance III starts walking out of it's square. Alien 2 slams into No Tolerance III from the rear and No Tolerance III turns around. Alien 2 spins around and hits No Tolerance III from the other side and tries to push it towards the killsaws, but No Tolerance III is too heavy. Alien 2 comes around to attack the front again and No Tolerance III lowers it's spinning saw onto Alien 2's top. No Tolerance III pushes Alien 2 away and it becomes apparent that Alien 2 is no longer moving. No Tolerance III begins to push Alien 2 towards the killsaws as Alien 2 was being counted out. No Tolerance III won by KO and Alien 2 was eliminated from the tournament.

Evil Weevil got to the ball first, but took it away from the goal. Alien was moving slowly around the arena, before Evil Weevil lost possession and Alien grabbed the ball, but it also lost possession. Both robots couldn't control the ball well and Evil Weevil was momentarily pinned on the arena wall. Just as it got free an arena spike came up and flipped an approaching Alien over. Dead Metal came in and righted Alien, but it was unable to move again. Evil Weevil finally managing to get the ball to the goal end, but a block from Matilda meant the ball was sent wide. The match went to the judges who sent Evil Weevil through and Alien out of the competition.

B.O.D.

**B.O.D.** (standing for Blades of Destruction) was a robot from Blackburn which fought in Series 7 of Robot Wars. Armed with a rotating blade weapon, it was a plastic armoured box based on a helicopter. The robot could reach speeds of 15-20 miles per hour, but had a gaping ground clearance and no srimech, making it very vulnerable to flippers, which showed in its immediate defeat from the "fowl flipping device" of Robochicken. B.O.D. was similar in appearance to Extreme Warriors Grand Finalist Propeller-Head. Due to the shortness of the blades, it needed to get close to opponents to damage them, making it even more vulnerable to lifting and flipping weapons.

B.O.D. was the replacement robot for the New Blood competitor Night Raider, which was destroyed in combat.

## Robot History

In the first round of the Seventh Wars, the newcomers B.O.D. went up against Robot Wars veterans Robochicken and Disc-O-Inferno, as well as Dutch entrant Tough as Nails. B.O.D. moved forward, with its spinning blade grinding to an immediate halt upon contact with Robochicken in the opening moments. B.O.D. moved away sluggishly, seeming to stop. As Tough as Nails grabbed and pushed Disc-O-Inferno into the pit, the latter's disc hit B.O.D.'s side, tearing pieces off in the process. Robochicken then swooped in and flipped B.O.D. over onto its back, immobilising it.

After Robochicken tried defensive flips on Tough as Nails, the Dutch machine then grabbed Robochicken. Refbot began the count on B.O.D. as Robochicken was dragged closer to the pit of oblivion, but fortunately for Robochicken B.O.D. was fully counted out just 20 seconds before Robochicken eventually went down, eliminating B.O.D. from the competition. B.O.D. was then put onto the Drop Zone by Tough as Nails, where it had bowling balls dropped on it. Tough as Nails then attempted to put B.O.D. into the already crowded pit, but B.O.D wouldn't fit in.

Apolkalipse

## Overview

**Apolkalipse** was a middleweight robot designed and built by **Team ThundeRatz** of Portugal, which competed in three consecutive RoboGames competitions between 2015 and 2017.

It was armed with a 10kg single-tooth undercutting disc, which would spin at 2500rpm and was capable of causing mass destruction. Due to its large wheels, Apolkalipse could run inverted, where the disc would double up as an overcutter.

Its biggest success came during RoboGames 2016, where Apolkalipse won back-to-back fights against Team RioBotz machines Touro and Touro Classic to take the gold medal. Apolkalipse never failed to make the quarter-finals in any of its three RoboGames appearances.

## Results

* Wins: 10
* Losses: 4

## Trivia

* Team ThundeRatz have also built robots for other weight classes, and even sumo competitions. Their featherweight drum spinner **REDRUM** (no relation to the heavyweight or US Antweight of the same name) won two championships in China within the same year.

Arena Killer

**Arena Killer** was a competitor in the first series of Dutch Robot Wars. It fought through to the second round, where it fell to eventual runners-up Lizzard. It also fought in the first *Dutch Robot Games*.

In addition, Arena Killer fought in German Robot Wars under the name **Absolut Krankhaft**, German for "Absolutely Nauseating", because there were not enough German robots. Because the letters were welded on the robot, the team needed a name for the German Series that used the same letters. It was chosen by Jeroen's teammate Werner who did the interviews in the German language. Absolut Krankhaft fell in the first round against eventual winner and runner-up Black Hole and Tsunami.

Arena Killer was dismantled in the late 2000s, with team captain Jeroen van der Loo focusing on his new machine, Tough as Nails.

## Robot History

### Dutch Robot Wars Series 1

In its first battle, Arena Killer faced Lethal Swan. The robots danced around each other for a little before Arena Killer attacked Lethal Swan from the side, flipping it over and immobilizing it. In the second round, Arena Killer met Lizzard. Several times, it tried to lift Lizzard, but had no success. It was swiped by Lizzard's tail before being pushed into a CPZ, where Shunt axed it and flipped it with its scoop. Arena Killer could not self-right, so Shunt axed its underside before righting it. Lizzard was immobilized by the house robots at the end, but the match still went to a jury's decision because Lizzard was still mobile and should not have been attacked. The decision was in favour of Lizzard.

### German Robot Wars

Arena Killer also entered German Robot Wars under the name Absolut Krankhaft. Almost immediately in its melee, a team effort by Black Hole and Tsunami threw Absolut Krankhaft onto its back, Black Hole cutting through the 2mm steel plate armour and bending the 5mm flange from the IPE80 frame in the process. Tsunami then righted Absolut Krankhaft; however almost immediately flipped it over again. Absolut Krankhaft was counted out by Refbot and paraded around the arena by Sir Killalot, flipped by the floor flipper and eventually pitted, eliminating it from the competition.

Battleborne

## Overview

Battleborne is a D2 that managed to sneak its way into Norwalk by using the 1lb weight bonus for multibots to its advantage by making a sacrificial minibot that was just weapon and no wheels that could attach to the back of Battleborne with magnets.

## Fight history

### Norwalk Havoc Robot League November 2020

#### Battleborne vs Rival

The fight started with Rival spinning up and throwing Battleborne across the arena. Rival then tore Battleborne's minibot to pieces. Battleborne took this opportunity and rammed Rival into the walls. Battleborne then pinned Rival in the corner. Rival escaped and threw Battleborne aside. Rival then threw the minibot's remains into the camera which shattered the lens. Rival started to have some drive issues after throwing Battleborne around the box again. Rival recovered and the live chat called for an encore which was granted. Not much happened except for Battleborne trying to get some last minute pins. The fight went to a judges decision where Rival won due to the state of Battleborne's minibot.

#### Battleborne vs Vibroid

The fight started with Vibroid spinning up and Battleborne rushing it. Battleborne then started driving circles around Vibroid before coming in from behind and pushing Vibroid weapon first into the wall. Brett came in and pushed them both aside. Vibroid's weapons randomly died which caused Vibroid to tap out.

#### Battleborne vs Stormfly

The fight started with Stormfly's forks getting under Battleborne's wedge and Stormfly and the two getting into a shoving match. The two then battled for position before Stormfly pinned Battleborne to the wall and brought down the hammer saw which got itself stuck on the insides of Battleborne. The two were separated by Brett. Stormfly lost the spinner on the end, but still clamped down on Battleborne when it could. The fight went to a judges decision where Stormfly won.

Andy Roid

**Andy Roid** was a robot that competed in the Lightweight category at the first two US Robot Wars in 1994 and 1995. It was designed to resemble a young boy on a Batman tricycle with an automated talking head and legs for pedalling art. It had a makeshift flailing mace made from an empty fizzy pop can and a roll of cotton at the rear as its weapon. Its name was a pun on Android. It won the Strangest Robot Award in 1994 and reached the Final that same year where it lost to Julie-Bot. It returned in 1995 with red wheels instead of black and the flailing mace replaced with three ramming spikes where it once again lost to the eventual Champion, this time to Test Toaster 1. It was very similar to the Season 5.0 robot The Toy
