DUCK! (kitbash)

* Witch Doctor V1
* Minotaur

## Overview

Duck is a lifting wedge combat robot which has competed on two out of the four season of Battlebots. It has been made into a kitbash a handful of times on either a Minotaur or Witch Doctor V1 base.

Sadly, both of these have become relatively obsolete as Hexbug released an official DUCK!.

## Construction

### Witch Doctor Version

1. Have a Witch Doctor V1
2. Remove the top of the bot very carefully
3. Take the weapon and it's mount off of the robot, DO NOT REMOVE THE GEARS
4. Make sure the wheels are still in place
5. Remove the wedgelets from their spots
6. Screw the top back into place
7. Cut a piece of plastic (or if you don't have the tools do so cardboard) in the shape of Duck's wedge
8. Find a suitable beak to attach to the wedge you've cut
9. Find a suitable lifting arm (case in point: Theo Hummel with a lego connector piece)
10. Put some eyes on your wedge
11. Glue the wedge beak and lifting arm together, A clamp will help a lot
12. Glue the lifting arm to the big gear on the base
13. Make sure it works
14. Customize it!

### Minotaur Version

1. Have a Minotaur
2. Cut any white material and surround the minotaur with it
3. Cut a piece of plastic or Cardboard in the shape of Duck's wedge
4. Find a suitable beak to attach to the wedge you've cut
5. Glue the beak to the wedge
6. Put some Duck eyes on your wedge
7. Glue the wedge to Minotaur's drum
8. (Optional) Attach some BYOB high speed wheels to Minotaur's magnets
9. Customize It!

## Makers

Beta (kitbash)

## Overview

Beta is a 4WD hammer bot made by John Reid. You will need both an old Beta and a Blacksmith if you plan to make this kitbash.

## Construction

1. Buy a Hexbug Beta and Blacksmith.
2. Cut the hammers off of both.
	1. Note: Leave Beta's hammer with a little bit left in case you want to make a lifter out of that Beta.
	2. Note: Blacksmith's hammer is best cut off at about three notches away from the gear.
3. Use hot glue or modeling clay to attach Beta's hammer to what's left of Blacksmith's hammer arm.
4. Test after it hardens.
5. Paint the hammer a shiny silver.
6. Use cardboard and tape to attach Beta's panels to each other.
7. Attach the Beta panels to Blacksmith.
8. (Optional) Paint Beta's panels a shiny silver.
9. Enjoy.

## Strategy As

Same as Blacksmith minus the ground game.
TTRE

TTRE is a Hexbug kitbash made with a Tombstone. Nothing has changed beside a new blade and the lack of a top panel.

## Construction

1. Have a Hexbug Tombstone
2. Print the blade
3. Paint the blade blue (or red if you're going for the earlier version)
4. Unscrew the weapon lock nut and remove the old blade
5. Remove the cylinder that sits inside the old blade
6. Put the aforementioned cylinder inside the new blade
7. Screw the nut back on once the weapon and rubber band are in place
8. Attach the rubber band back to the spinner's gear
9. Make sure the weapon spins, otherwise troubleshoot.

Christian democracy

**Christian democracy** is a centrist political ideology that combines traditional Christian values with modern democratic ideas, characterized by the principles of solidarity, social justice and consistent life ethic. While being strongly inspired by Christian ideas, especially Catholic social teaching and Neo-Calvinist theology, it is a secular political ideology that can be supported by people of various faiths. It is conservative on social matters (death penalty often being an exception, due to the consistent life ethic) and centrist to liberal on fiscal matters.

Christian democratic political parties in the Americas are represented in the Christian Democrat Organization of America and internationally, the Centrist Democrat International represents most of the world's Christian Democratic organizations.

## Symbols

Christian democracy is traditionally associated with the color orange. The pelican, which was originally seen as a Christian symbol due to the belief that pelicans rip off their skin to feed their children when no other food is available (this was later proven to be false), analogous to Christianity's principles of charity and solidarity with the poor, has also come to be associated with Christian democracy in modern times.

## Social views

Christian democrats support traditional moral values, religious freedom, and put an emphasis on the well-being of the family. They often adhere to the consistent life ethic, which states that abortion, euthanasia, death penalty, unjust war and assisted suicide are all immoral and forms of murder.

## Economic views

Christian democrats oppose both unbridled capitalism and socialism, instead supporting either a form of mixed economy, usually social market economy, or distributism.

## Environmental views

Christian democrats are supportive of environmental stewardship, advocating the protection of Earth's natural resources.

## Political parties and organizations

In the United States, the American Solidarity Party, a political party, and the Center for Public Justice, a think-tank, represent Christian Democracy.

In the United Kingdom, the Christian Peoples Alliance advocates Christian Democracy.

In Germany, the Christian Democratic Union of Germany enjoys widespread popularity.

Hypershock (Release)

## Overview

The Hexbug Hypershock is an official product by Hexbug, released alongside Rusty. Few kitbashes have been made with this, but the top kitbashers are actively experimenting.

## Known Kitbashes

* Fireball
* Lynx
* Original Sin

## Known Mods

* Disclaimer: Using beefy AAA batteries or a LiPo upgrade is actually discouraged for Hypershock because several kitbashers have found out the hard way that this actually completely kills the Hexbug control board over time due to handling too much power at once.

## Strategy As

Hypershock is one of, if not the, fastest Hexbug in the entire Hexbug Battlebots line, so you WILL need to practice if you intend to main Hypershock or a future Hypershock kitbash. You can use this to your advantage by running literal circles around your opponent. Along with the fastest drive, Hypershock also boasts the most powerful vertical spinner of the stock Hexbugs. This spinner can be used to flip your opponents when combined with a box rush. Hypershock is also invertible, so you might be able to self right using your spinner on the wall or even the wall alone if it is tall enough. (Disclaimer: Use this tactic with caution as you might just throw yourself out of the arena instead if the walls are short enough.)

## Strategy Against

Hypershock is one of the fastest Hexbugs on record. If you know how to juke, you can use this against Hypershock by baiting them to charge into a hazard or out of the arena if you happen to be fighting on a sumo ring. Just like the real thing, Hypershock can also flip itself over if one of its charges is disrupted by a wedge to the side. If you can, try and bait a charge with one of your own. With any luck, your charge will land a side-on attack with your leading wedge on Hypershock's front wheel and Hypershock will flip itself because it was going too fast. As for weapon weaknesses, Hypershock's top plates can be taken off by vertical spinners or well placed hammer strikes. As for the wedge, dodge, weave, and pray that whatever you're using is enough to tear it off. If you're particularly good at driving flippers, try and bait Hypershock near an instant-win condition and throw it out of the arena, into the pit, or whatever else that win condition may be.
Minotaur

## Overview

Minotaur is a drum spinner based off the real robot that competes on Battlebots. It is also used as a base for kitbashing.

## Known Kitbashes

* Bullseye
* Cobalt
* Concussion
* DUCK!
* Free Shipping
* Iron Scrap
* Little Qinglong
* Mr. Hippo
* Poison Arrow
* Red River Hong
* Rust Boar
* Sabretooth
* The Berg
* Touro Maximus
* Sabre20
* X-303
* Yeti

## Strategy as

Keep the drum facing your opponent, Minotaur is invertible.

## Strategy against

Their weapon is weak and their drive is weak. Just ram them into the walls and possibly out of the arena.
Supernova

Supernova is a horizontal fly wheel spinner made from a Hexbug tombstone and these files. You can also use one of these files. However, this disc is the best if you want accuracy.

## Construction

1. Have a Hexbug Tombstone
2. Print the second file from the linked design
3. Detach the blade holder frame from the main Tombstone body
4. Screw off the nut and take apart the weapon assembly
5. Remove the cylinder that sits inside the old blade
6. Screw the nut back on once the weapon and rubber band are in place
7. Attach the weapon frame back to the main frame
8. Attach the rubber band back to the spinner's gear
9. Make sure the weapon spins, otherwise troubleshoot.
10. Make it look like Supernova (series 9)

## Makers

* Theo Hummel
* Lumakid100
* Sam The Lego Man
* Count's Robotics

## Strategy Against

Try to break the spinner. (It's not very reliable).

Rusty (Release)

## Overview

The Hexbug Rusty is an official product by Hexbug, released alongside Hypershock. No kitbashes have been made with this yet, but the top kitbashers will figure something out eventually.

## Known Kitbashes

* None yet.
* Sorry.

## Known Mods

* Disclaimer: Using beefy AAA batteries or a LiPo upgrade is actually discouraged for Hypershock because several kitbashers have found out the hard way that this actually completely kills the Hexbug control board over time due to handling too much power at once.

## Strategy As

Rusty is the second Hexbug with treads. With them comes an exceptional amount of pushing power even without any form of wedge or forks. Despite this, Rusty uses the same drive motors as Hypershock, giving it exceptional speed in the arena. Use this to your advantage by running around the arena and not giving your opponents a chance to even **try** a shoving match with you. Given the fact that Rusty is an axe bot, you can get right in the grill of your opponents and deliver precision strikes in just the right place to knock off hard to reach top panels or worse, snap their weapon belts. (Note: If you do end up doing that, prepare the money for a replacement Hexbug and start thinking of kitbash ideas.) In addition, The removable top plate is not the chrome dome like people may think, it's actually the gray back panel. This is one of the best protected panels in the entire Hexbug Battlebots line as your opponent will have to kick your axe out of the way to even have a chance of knocking your top panel off. You can also use your axe to act as a guard against other hammers and also hammersaws made using SawBlaze.

## Strategy Against

Rusty's side panels are only held on with a single magnet. Use this to your advantage and rack up the damage points early if you're using any type of spinner. Despite the fact that Rusty is able to self right, the time it takes Rusty to self right is more than enough to set up a follow-up attack. Rusty's speed with treads also makes it oddly predictable and easy to punish. Rusty has literally no wedge which makes it a gold mine of ground clearance, if you can pin Rusty to anything, you can get in and possibly flip it over, depending on what you're using. This makes it extremely easy to control the fight and throw Rusty around the arena like nothing.
SawBlaze

## Overview

The Hexbug SawBlaze is an official product by Hexbug, released alongside Whiplash. It has been used as a base for a few kitbashes. SawBlaze and Whiplash are the first RIVALS Platinum. This new sub-line features onboard rechargable batteries and dual weapon function.

## Known Kitbashes

* Bonfire
* Dead Metal
* Kraken
* MegatRON
* Retrograde
* S.O.B.
* Skorpios
* Vulture
* Witch Doctor (kitbash)
	+ (With a Witch Doctor V1 and Witch Doctor V3.)

## Known Mods

* A highly recommended mod for SawBlaze is taking the rear panel and gluing a piece of LEGO to it so it can act as an anti-wheelie bar.

## Strategy As

SawBlaze is one of the fastest Hexbugs in the entire line. Use this to set your opponent up for a pin and bring down the pain with your hammersaw. This speed can also be used to make your opponent's fight a living hell by not giving them even a nanosecond to breathe.

## Strategy Against

SawBlaze's speed can be its downfall as it wheelies for just a second after charging at someone. Use this opportunity and box rush SawBlaze right as its charging at you for a potential flip. Since SawBlaze is a bot that punishes mistakes, respond in kind and punish its driving errors with extreme prejudice.
Shunt

## Overview

Shunt is a 2WD axe bot also armed with a lifting scoop that was made for Robot Wars as one of their House Robots. You will need a Blacksmith for this build.

## Construction

If you need a visual reference, timestamps will be left in the instructions below to guide you.

1. Buy a Hexbug Blacksmith.
2. Mock up the main wedges and structure with whatever you have. It is also recommended to lay out your LEGO or toy monster truck wheels to get an idea of where they will go. (1:03)
	1. Paper and tape works best.
3. Dremel off Blacksmith's hammer at the first notch from the gear. (2:29)
	1. Sand the stub to make it easier to attach the new axe. (2:59)
4. Recreate Shunt's axe with whatever you have available. (3:18)
	1. CAD software and 3D printing recommended.
5. Glue the axe to the stub of Blacksmith's hammer arm.
6. Add modeling clay or putty into the gaps in the top panel for Blacksmith's panels to build up strength in the bot. (4:48)
	1. Try to have the corners match the pre-existing structure. (5:09)
	2. While you're at it, you might as well reinforce the joint of the axe.
7. Cut the front wedge attachment panel down to size until you only have the parts connecting the wedge to the bot. (5:45)
8. Make the main body parts of Shunt using carboard, foamboard, thin plastic, or some other hobby-grade material. It is preferable that whatever you are using is 2mm thick. (6:05)
9. Glue the parts onto Blacksmith. (6:49)
	1. Fill in any gaps in the structure with the same clay or putty you used earlier.
10. Glue the fake wheels on. (6:58)
11. Make the main wedges and glue the front scoop onto the Blacksmith wedge. (7:14)
12. Create and add the wheel guards and rear axe stop. (7:34)
13. Attach the wedges onto Blacksmith. (8:18)
14. Paint. (8:51)
15. Test.
16. Iron out the issues.
17. Enjoy your Hexbug Shunt.

## Strategy As

Same as Blacksmith minus the ground game.
Clyde

**Clyde** or **Clyde Birdbrain** is a character from the *Tropical Serenade*. He was an audio-animatronic bird character voiced by Dallas McKennon.

## History

### Background

Clyde was a toucan who travelled along with his companion Claude. The two would happen upon the supernatural *Jungle Rivers of Adventureland*, leading them to the African Veldt of North Africa where they encountered many animals. Following this, the two happened upon the *Enchanted Tiki Room* of Polynesia where they were granted speech (with a Southern accent) and intelligence by the structure's magic.

### Development history

Clyde and Claude are characters original to the *Tropical Serenade* incarnation of *Walt Disney's Enchanted Tiki Room* in Walt Disney World. The two appeared in the pre-show, perched on the fictitious god of health Citrikua who was made to promote the *Florida Citrus Commission*.

## Jungle Cruise connections

### Jungle Cruise

Clyde and Claude tell the story of how they found the Tiki Room via passing through the Rivers of Adventure while passing Jungle Cruise animals and locations. They mention the lion pride, African bull elephant, monkeys, crocodiles and rock python.

## Appearances

### Walt Disney's Enchanted Tiki Room

Clyde and Claude appear in the pre-show of the Magic Kingdom's Enchanted Tiki Room incarnation, perched upon the horns of Citrikua.

## Trivia

* In the Enchanted Tiki Room: Under New Management!, Clyde and Claude were turned into William and Morris, the Hollywood managers of Iago from Aladdin and Zazu from the Lion King. In *The Enchanted Tiki Room: Get the Fever!*, they were used for the band, "2-Can".

Crippling Depression/Blue Screen of Death

## Overview

Crippling Depression is a featherweight combat robot made the Youtuber Robert Cowan. It can be made by using a Witch Doctor V1 chasis and making various modifications listed below.

## Construction

1. Make sure you have a Witch Doctor V1 chasis (It's the one that's shaped like a box)
2. Download this file and 3D print it. Make sure it is scaled to the right size and is thin enough to fit on the weapon motor.
3. Remove the lexan panel on the top of the bot
4. Take out the front wedge, and the weapon of the bot. As well as all the gears and the weapon motor. DO NOT BRAKE THE WIRES OF THE WEAPON MOTOR (You'll also need to remove fin like objects on either side of the weapon)
5. Mount the motor in the space where the weapon assembly was facing upward. If you're gluing it in place be careful not get glue on the wires.
6. Attach the gear that was on the weapon motor to the disc. Preferable where the hole for a shaft is like pictured on the pinshape page.
7. Screw The lexan top back on and make sure all wheels are working fine
8. Troubleshoot if necessary
9. Either simply slide the disc on to the shaft of the weapon motor (gear first), or put a little glue on then mount it.
10. If you want it to be able to run run as an overcutter and undercutter you'll need to glue larger wheels on to the existing ones for higher ground clearance.
11. Add side panels and color accordingly to make the robot look more accurate
12. If everything is working enjoy!

Extra note:

The disc is prone to flying off, so make sure you're at a safe distance when it's operating

## Builders

* Theo Hummel (Crippling Depression)
* Khaotic Robotics (Ribbot)

## Strategy as

Pretty much go full frontal all the time unless you're up against a flipper. In that case be a little more cautious and try to avoid their weapon

## Strategy Against

Try to either stop them from maximizing their spin up time or disable their weapon.

Touro Maximus

## Overview

Tauro Maximus was a heavyweight robot that proceeded Minotaur. As one could could expect the conversion between the Minotaur Hexbug and this kitbash is trivial.

## Construction

1. Have a Minotaur Hexbug (The V1 version is preferable as it's slightly easier to color)
2. Color the side panels silver
3. Color the top silver
4. Once the top is dried add the logo's and branding
5. Leave the back of the bot black
6. Cut/saw/dremel the forks in front of the drum off
7. Color the drum black or dark grey
8. Optional step: add lego bricks/studs to spice up the drum
9. You're done

Whiplash (Release)

## Overview

The Hexbug Whiplash is an official product by Hexbug, released alongside SawBlaze. It has been used as a base for a few kitbashes. SawBlaze and Whiplash are the first RIVALS Platinum. This new sub-line features onboard rechargable batteries and dual weapon function.

## Known Kitbashes

* Deadlift
* Death Roll
* Ghost Raptor
* Splatter
* SubZero
* Terrortops

## Strategy As

Whiplash has unprecedented traction in the Hexbug line, giving it some of the best pushing power in the entire series. You can use this to bully your opponents around the box and into any and all hazards in your respective arena. Whiplash's spinner can also be used in combination with its lifter to tear off panels and flip your opponent over and possibly out of the arena. If you get flipped by a Bronco, Matilda, BYOB Flipper, or other Whiplash, you can use your lifting arm to self right and get back in the fight.

## Strategy Against

If you're a horizontal spinner, your top priority is to tear off Whiplash's wedges ASAP or your fight will be a living hell. If you have lower wedges or forks, you can lock horns in a shoving match, but unless you're using Bite Force or the BYOB Tank Chassis, you will find yourself on the backfoot. If you are running any type of flipper, try to flip Whiplash early and NEVER let it recover for even a second.
Thunder and Lightning

## Overview

Thunder and Lightning are twin vertical spinners made with V1 Witch Doctors and the same files used in Whiplash for it's weapon. (You can use the original disc if you want.)

## Construction

1. Buy two V1 Witch Doctors
2. Print two Whiplash discs (in white if you don't have red and blue filaments)
3. Remove the panels
4. Recolor the top panel
5. Color the wheels black
6. Remove the lexan panel
7. Recolor the back wheels
8. Recolor the chassis
9. Recolor the battery cover
10. Recolor the blades you will be using
11. (Optional) Dremel off the part of the wedge and weapon mount that poke above the top of the lexan panel
12. Put the rear wheels and weapon back in
13. Put the lexan panel back on
14. Test
15. Repeat 3 through 14 for the other one
16. Enjoy
Amazon river mask

**The Amazon river mask** is the conjectural name for an object from the *Jungle Cruise*.

## Description

This was a tribal mask of unknown origin (aesthetically indicating it to be of some Pacific islander or African origin).

## History

### Background

This mask was constructed by the late 19th/early 20th century. The mask had some affiliation with a guild of colonial explorers and European aristocrats known as the *Society of Explorers and Adventurers*, namely their president Jason Chandler. By 1936/1938, the mask was in the possession of the *Jungle Navigation Company*, an international colonial business which was founded in 1911 by S.E.A. member Dr. Albert Falls. The mask was used to adorn the entrance of the company's *Amazon River Base*, advertising their tourism service, "The Jungle Cruise".

### Development history

#### Creation & changes

The mask was created for Walt Disney World's Jungle Cruise. In 2021, the mask was removed in a refurbishment that removed instances of obvious racism from the attraction. The replacement for this was an oar with the Jungle Navigation Company logo upon it.

#### Racism

The mask was designed by white men as a stereotype of tribal artwork. The mask also featured a form of *minstrel lips*, a design element affiliated with negative caricatures of black people which originates from black-face. Despite being of tribal origin, the mask is also affiliated with European colonists such as the JNC and the SEA.

## Appearances

### Jungle Cruise

The mask used to adorn the sign for the Jungle Cruise in Walt Disney World.

### Skipper Canteen

On a map of the Mekong made by Captain Brieux and Jason Chandler of the *Society of Explorers and Adventurers*, the mask is part of the S.E.A. crest. The mask is accompanied by two crowned swans, representing the figureheads of the *Plaza Swan Boats*. In the building's library there is also a piece of pottery resembling the mask, resting on a bookshelf.
Eywa

Woodsprites which are seen as embodiments of Eywa, interacting with Jake Sully

**Eywa** is a deity from the film Avatar. She is referenced in the *Jungle Cruise* inspired *Na'vi River Journey* in Disney's Animal Kingdom.

## History

Eywa is the nature goddess of the Na'vi who represents the interconnected nature of the alien world of Pandora. She is most frequently affiliated with woodsprites, seeds of the *Vitraya Ramunong* or Tree of Souls. Eywa is pseudonymous with a bioelectrical system connecting every organism on Pandora, referred to by human scientists as a biological internet.

## Jungle Cruise appearances

### Na'vi River Journey

### Alias/Títulos

Pontífice de la Capilla de Ishtar en Cerise

## Apariencia

Es un enano calvo, de barba pelirroja y rostro sereno. Sus ojos son claros y de mirada afable, aunque su gesto es sereno.

## Historia

#### **Sesión 1**

Arzhel se reunió con el grupo después del ataque de los diablos, tras reconocer a Sir Rashid. Ambos se conocieron cuando el caballero fue enviado a solucionar los ataques y el Pontífice le encargó hacerse con la Reliquia de la Catedral de Lèoncour para ayudarle en su tarea, aunque le creía desaparecido.

Tuvo un pequeño enfrentamiento verbal con el grupo, particularmente Pía, Vaunea y Rashid, cuando les recordó que carecían de pruebas para acusar al Conde Sylvain de los ataques. Finalmente, gracias a la intervención de Drizzle y a una propuesta de Rashid, acordó ayudarles si al final resultaba ser el conde el culpable, siempre que le trajesen con vida y tuviesen pruebas reales de su herejía.

**Sesión 5**

Discutimos por ver quién se quedaba con la reliquia. Al final se acopla con nosotros a devolverla (y nos odia xdxd).

Abbatoir

## Overview

Abbatoir was a Superheavyweight robot made by Team Wetware. It was notorious for losing every match it fought.

## Construction

1. Get a Hexbug Rotator.
2. Create a cardboard, wooden, 3d printed or paper cage to go around the robot.
3. Create the blade.
4. Add a spacer on the original rotator disc to prop the new blade onto.
5. Attach the new blade to the spacer and original disc with tape or glue.
6. Assemble the bot by attaching the cage and placing the top weapon. (bottom disc removed)

## Strategy As

Use your fast spin up and continuously charge the opponent with the blade. Your blade is powerful and will deal great damage particularly if the opponent has paper or cardboard armor.

## Strategy Against

Stop its blade as soon as possible. Corner it due to the large size of the weapon. If using a lifter or forked robot try and grab the cage. Flipping can instanty defeat it.
Ex: Killer Krab, Whiplash

## Trivia

In an ironic turn of events the only Abbatoir kitbash made was very successful up until its retirement

Beta (Release)

## Overview

The Hexbug Beta is an official product by Hexbug, released alongside Minotaur. It has been used as a base for a few kitbashes.

## Known Kitbashes

* Beta (Kitbash)
* Complete Control
* Tánshè
* Terrorhurtz
* Vulcan

## Strategy As

Despite its weak drive, Beta is built like a truck. Use this to your advantage and jam up every single spinner sent your way with a pre-emptive box rush before raining down the pain with your two stage hammer.

## Strategy Against

Despite being built like a truck, Beta's panels are particularly easy for vertical spinners to knock off. If you are using a vertical spinner, spin up and charge straight in. With any luck, that will knock off the front panel, leaving the other two as easy pickings. If you are using a horizontal spinner, try and get around to the back where you can catch the trailing edge and pull the sides off. If you are using a flipper, Beta can self right if its hammer is currently in the fired position, but not while it is primed. Use this to your advantage and get a quick KO.
