Cobalt

* Season 6
* Seasons 4&5

**Cobalt** is a robot that is currently competing in Lego Battlebots. It is built by Dave Moulds and Sam Smith, but is owned by the **Robotic Death Company**, who also built Gigabyte. Cobalt has had several upgrades over its lifetime, but every iteration of it has been a 4 wheel drive, green and black bot armed with a powerful vertical spinner. Cobalt is low to the ground and has decent durability as well, which has helped it to win 8 of its 12 fights, or 75% of them.

Cobalt, though it cannot self-right, has beaten several invertible robots, with some examples being **Copperhead**, **Destructobot**, and **Red Flame**.

### Robot History

#### Season 1

Cobalt got the 10 seed in Season 1, and was given a match against the 23 seed, **Wrecks**. The fight started with Cobalt spinning up its weapon and hitting Wrecks, tearing off its weapon supports. Cobalt then controlled Wrecks into the corner and got it under the pulverizer. Wrecks could do very little before Cobalt put it in the corner, took off its walking mechanism, and threw it out.

Cobalt then advanced to face End Game. Cobalt immediately ripped off a fork of End Game and got under it again. Cobalt was getting under almost every exchange, even on one occasion flipping End Game over before End Game lost a self-righting arm. It wasn't long, however, before End Game got a lucky push on Cobalt and flipped it over. End Game left it there and took the win by KO, eliminating Cobalt from the torunament.

#### Season 2

Cobalt returned for Season 2, and was given the 7 seed. Ironically, this was the same seed that End Game, who Cobalt lost to in Season 1, has previously gotten. Cobalt got a match against the 26 seed, the very durable **Destructobot**. The fight started with Destructobot trying to do damage, but failing as its spinner was relatively weak. Cobalt pushed it around some, and got it into the wall. Cobalt then spun up and hit Destructobot. Destructobot was able to deliver a hit that helped Cobalt's weapon break a few moments later, but it wasn't enough to do much. Cobalt still controlled it and nearly got it out on two occasions, but Destructobot drove back in. By the end of the match, Destructobot's weapon was broken, but that was the only damage done to him. The match went to the judges and Cobalt won an 8-1 decision.

Cobalt advanced to face **SubZero** in the Round of 16. The match started well for Cobalt as it flipped SubZero over. SubZero then landed a flip, but it did nothing to Cobalt. Cobalt got under it before SubZero flipped it again. Cobalt then got revenge by ripping off its rear plow. Cobalt then got under SubZero's rear and pushed it into the wall. SubZero, however, got a lucky flip in, and Cobalt was upside down in the corner. SubZero then got it out of the arena, eliminating Cobalt from the tournament.

#### Season 3

Cobalt returned for Season 3 and got a match against Duck, Red Flame, and Whiplash. The match started with Cobalt sending Red Flame's minibot, **Fire!**, out of the arena. Cobalt and Red Flame then landed hits on Duck and Whiplash before Duck lifted Whiplash out of the arena. Duck then almost flipped Cobalt, but Cobaslt got away before Duck lifted Red Flame out with the screws' help.

Cobalt then advanced with Duck to fight **Captain Shrederator** in the next round.

The fight started with Shrederator spinning up and Cobalt deflecting it.

Cobalt and Duck, however, went all-out on Shrederator, as both were durable enough to deflect him. Cobalt was attacking Captain Shrederator with its wedge, and keeping it near the screws. Duck took some shots as well, but mainly stayed back as Cobalt did a lot of the work. Shrederator did land a madsive hit, though, that sent Cobalt ricocheting into the wall behind it. Duck then got in and used the screws to lift Shrederator out.

Cobalt and Duck then advanced to face each other in the Quarterfinals.

The fight started with Duck getting a ram on Cobalt before getting flipped over. After quickly self-righting, Duck put Cobalt in the screws and flipped it. However, he helped Cobalt up again, and paid the price for it as Cobalt began landing big hits. Cobalt ripped off a small part of Duck's left wedge, but Duck then got in the screws and caused Cobalt to do a full 360. Cobalt landed one more hit before Duck took full control of the fight, and, after over a minute of dominance, finally lifted Cobalt out.

Between Seasons 3 and 4, Cobalt won a lucky fight against **Copperhead**.

#### Season 4

Cobalt's first fight of Season 4 was against Mad Catter in a main event. The fight began with Cobalt gettin
g under Mad Catter and popping it in the air. Cobalt got under it again before Mad Catter threw it into the screws. The screws reversed, spitting Cobalt out Cobalt got under Mad Catter a few more times, but Mad Catter then landed a massive shot that tore off Cobalt's wedge and flipped it. Cobalt was thrown around a little more before Mad Catter threw it out of the arena. The damage actually split Cobalt apart when he was thrown out.

Cobalt then advanced to face **Valkyrie**. Cobalt started with a hit on Valkyrie, flipping it over. Cobalt then pushed Valkyrie under the pulverizer. Valkyrie spun up, trying to do damage, but failed as Cobalt controlled it around the box. Valkyrie was then having drive issues, and rammed its blade into the wall twice. Cobalt then hit Valkyrie a couple of times, and pushed it under the pulverizer again. Cobalt then pushed Valkyrie into the screws and soon got it out.

Cobalt then faced **Pardon My French**. The fight was brief, as Pardon My French flipped Cobalt twice, but saved him both times. However, Cobalt then got under it, flipped it, and threw it out of the arena. PMF exploded when it hit the floor, and the team reported that it took an hour to rebuild.

Cobalt was given the 20 seed in the top 32,and faced the 13 seed, Gigabyte. Cobalt started trying to deflect Gigabyte, but only got sent backwards. Cobalt then deflected Gigabyte into the wall and got a hit with the vertical disc. Cobalt then got another deflection before sending Gigabyte out with the wedge. Gigabyte is on the far left on the image to the right.

As a result of defeating Gigabyte, Cobalt took on Tombstone in the Round of 16. Tombstone spun up and hit Cobalt hard to begin. Cobalt spun up, but Tombstone whipped around and hit Cobalt again. Cobalt was taking the hits well as Tombstone was hitting anywhere on Cobalt he pleased. Cobalt did get in two hits with the spinner before Tombstone's weapon broke. Tombstone was able to get in a few decent hits, but another piece of the weapon then broke off. From there, Cobalt took control as he threw Tombstone into a wall, and actually got it stuck on its back. Cobalt took the KO win.

Cobalt took on Drift in the Quarterfinals. The fight began with Cobalt spinning up, flipping Drift, and carrying it into the corner. That, however, caused Drift to self-right. Drift then tried to get under Cobalt, and momentarily couldn't, but was able to get a good push into the wall. Cobalt, however, got a good hit and threw Drift around the arena. Cobalt kept controlling Drift, getting under it numerous times, and eventually throwing it out.

Cobalt then faced Hydra in the Semifinals. When the fight began, Cobalt pushed Hydra into the pulverizer, and Hydra was hammered once but took no damage. Cobalt then tried to get under Hydra, but Hydra landed a big flip that tipped Cobalt over. On the next flip, Cobalt was thrown out.

#### Season 5

Cobalt entered Season 5 looking to go further this time. Its first fight was against Bite Force. The fight began with Bite Force chasing Cobalt, but getting flipped because Cobalt was lower to the ground. As Bite Force was flipped, Cobalt landed several big hits, though he did no damage. Bite Force eventually used the wall to self-right. Cobalt then ripped off a fork and flipped Bite Force again. Cobalt continued pushing Bite Force around, and soon threw him into the arena drum. Bite Force was able to escape, but Cobalt then rammed it several times, getting it out of the arena and moving to 1-0.

Cobalt then took on Blue Flame. Both bots spun up with Cobalt hitting the back of Blue Flame. Blue Flame then got under Cobalt but was unable to flip it. Cobalt then got in a hit and threw Blue Flame into the arena drum. The drum was having trouble getting Blue Flame out in reverse mode, and to add insult to injury, Blue Flame had now lost its wedge. Blue Flame finally got out, but was then dominated by Cobalt for the rest of the match. Cobalt finally scored an OOTA against Blue Flame to move to 2-0.

Cobakt then took on former teammate Tungsten. Cobalt started with control of the fight as Tungsten had a few drive issues. Tungsten then flipped Cobalt, but missed an oota. Cobalt countered by nearly throwing Tungsten out. Tungsten easily got down, but now Cobalt threw it into the drum again. This time Tungsten was disc-down, so Cobalt took the win and moved to 3-0.

Cobalt was given the #4 seed for the tournament, and took on Tsunami. The fight began with Cobalt taking a shot from Tsunami, with Tsunami's weapon breaking. Cobalt was able to control Tsunami into the screws, but then Tsunami broke off a piece of the disc. Cobalt then nearly took out Tsumani, but when Tsunami drove back in, Cobalt got it stuck in the arena drum.

Cobalt then took on the #20 seed, Nemesis. The fight began with Nemesis spinning up. The first hit sent both bots out of control, and Cobalt then got in some deflections. Cobalt then sent Nemesis around the arena before Nemesis landed a heavy shot. Cobalt then rushed at Nemesis, but then got blown into pieces, eliminating him from the tournament.
