Bonk (Heavyweight)

**Bonk**, alternatively titled Bonk!, is a heavyweight robot built by Team Mute, which competed in the 2016 series of Robot Wars. It lost its Group Battle after it was immobilised by Carbide and flipped over by Behemoth, the pneumatics system for its axe malfunctioning due to the cold temperatures of the arena.

Team Mute also intended to enter the 2016 series with Mute, which competed in Series 7 of the original Robot Wars as well as the New Blood Championship in the second series of Robot Wars Extreme. However, they could not complete Mute in time, as its new batteries and speed controllers were making its motors too warm, requiring more testing than the time allowed.

## Robot History

### Live Events

Following on from a lot of live event success enjoyed by Mute, Bonk made its Robot Wars debut at the Winter Tour of 2013. However, it lost in the first round. Bonk later appeared in the UK championship 2013 where it withdrew from the first round battle. It later made various appearances in multiple live events where it had mixed success. In 2013 it won the "Best Newcomer" award.

### 2016 Series

Bonk appeared in Episode 1, fighting Carbide and The General, as well as re-matching Behemoth in its first round melee. When the battle begun, Bonk saw Carbide as an immediate threat, and rammed into the back of it at full speed. It fired its axe to attack Carbide, but the axe became stuck in this position. This was due to the low temperatures of the arena causing Bonk's CO2 system to freeze, leaving Bonk at an immediate disadvantage. Bonk was chased by Behemoth, where Bonk then became trapped on an arena spike, which held it above the ground momentarily. Despite the lack of a weapon or srimech after its axe failure, Bonk continued to contribute, and tried to pin Behemoth down when it flipped itself over. Bonk pushed Carbide aside, and shrugged off an attack from The General. However, when Carbide charged in to attack The General's tyre, Bonk was hit by the same blow, and was immobilised by a big hit. Behemoth pushed Bonk over the flame pit, and turned it over, where it officially started being counted out. CO2 vented from Bonk, as it was hit by Carbide twice more. Cease was called, and Bonk was eliminated, leaving Team Mute's record against Behemoth at one-a-piece.

747

**747** was an antweight that only appeared in the AWS 38 getting to the third round. Its name is likely based on the Boeing 747-airplane.

## Robot history

### AWS 38

In its first round, 747 faced Raoul. 747 approached and gets flung away by Raoul, but the second Raoul turned off its drum 747 attacks and pushes it off the arena and won.

In the Winner's Bracket, second round, 747 faced Zenith. 747 rushes into Zenith who repels it, then rips 747 up. 747 was still alive but decides to surrender, so it lost.

In the loser's Bracket, third round, 747 faced Fast Dalek. 747 attacks but gets scooped and almost sent down a trench, but ends up pinned to the wall. 747 escapes and flees, but goes too close to the arena's edge and falls off, where it lost and was eliminated.
Bad Boy

**Bad Boy** was a heavyweight robot originally built by Team Coolrobots and entered into the Long Beach 1999 competition, but it was not finished in time and forfeited both its matches.

It was later finished by Jason Bardis of the Infernolab and renamed Slugger.

## Robot History

Bad Boy, as it was then known, was entered in an incomplete form for the Long Beach 1999 competition. It was originally armed with a pickaxe mounted on a metal pole, with the internal components being less protected than the later version. Bad Boy was first scheduled to fight Monster, but forfeited due to Christian Carlberg being unable to complete his robot in time. It then forfeited from the competition altogether, due to Bad Boy not being competition-ready.

Angry Bot 1

**Angry Bot 1** (Thai: โกรธบอทหนึ่ง) was a robot from Thailand that competed at the first Seacon War of Steel. It was a four-wheeled, round, circular-shaped, white, and red robot armed with a spinning ring. Angry Bot 1 proved to have a rather high amount of Kinetic Energy in its spinner for a first generation Thai robot, although like many ring spinners was prone to shearing its bearings.

However it also had a rather quick, and torquey drive system as well to shove opponents into the pit when its weapon inevitably broke itself. As a result of this rather solid design Angry Bot 1 did well in competition, winning its group, and never once having a single judges decision before falling in the pre-quarterfinal eliminators to Smile Robot in a rather dramatic fashion.

## Robot History

### Seacon War of Steel 1

Angry Bot 1's first ever match was against Paktho War Steel. This fight started with Angry Bot 1 spinning up to full speed, and delivering a massive hit to Paktho War Steel, knocking it back several inches. This hit also broke Angry Bot 1's ring spinner, and Angry Bot 1 then shoved Paktho War Steel first against the saws, and then under the arena hammer, which delivered one hit, completely immobilizing Paktho War Steel which was counted out.

This KO put Angry Bot 1 into the Group D, Line 3 Semi-Finals where it faced The Putative. This match started with Angry Bot 1 attempting to spin up, however its weapon mechanism was still seemingly damaged from the fight with Paktho War Steel in the prior round so it simply shoved The Putative around instead. Attempting to get away, The Putative then drove into the pit, and was counted out putting Angry Bot 1 through to the Group D, Line 3 Final where it faced Optimus EE.

This match started with Angry Bot 1 spinning up to full speed, and immediately delivering a large hit to Optimus EE that sent it spinning away from Angry Bot. Angry Bot, its weapon still up to speed then came in, and delivered another hit to Optimus EE, knocking the later's drive chain into its weapon. It followed this up with three more devastating hits, the first completely immobilizing Optimus, the second ripping a chunk of front armor off of Optimus, and the third ripping a chunk of rear armor off of Optimus.

Optimus EE was then counted out, putting Angry Bot 1 through to the Pre-Quarterfinal Eliminators where it faced Smile Robot for a place in the quarter-finals. This match started with Angry Bot 1, and Smile Robot spinning up to speed, and going weapon to weapon. Smile Robot came out on top, ripping teeth, and bearings out of Angry Bot 1's ring spinner mechanism.

This of course completely destroyed Angry Bot 1's weapon, so it then shoved Smile Robot into the wall. However Smile Robot then turned around, and ripped another chunk out of Angry Bot 1 before slicing into one of Angry Bot 1's LiPo's. This caused smoke to spill everywhere from the destroyed battery, fire extinguishers were brought in, and Angry Bot 1 was eliminated from the competition.

Ally Gator

**Ally Gator** was a robot that competed in Series 3 of Robot Wars. It reached the second round of its Heat, before being flipped over by Berserk 2 The robot's name was a play on the word "alligator", but the "Ally" in Ally Gator stood for aluminium, which was its armour.

## Robot History

### Series 3

Competing in Heat H of Series 3, Ally Gator immediately got under its opponent Corporal Punishment at the start of its first fight. Corporal Punishment got stuck on the spike on the top and could not move. The House Robots stopped Corporal Punishment from going in the pit, and the match ended with a judges' decision, which went 2-1 in favour of Ally Gator.

Ally Gator went up against Berserk 2 in the second round, and neither robot was able to negotiate the other's ground clearance. Ally Gator then pushed Berserk 2 into Shunt's CPZ twice, before Berserk 2 slid beneath Ally Gator from the side, and flipped it over. Berserk 2 hammered at the underbelly of Ally Gator with its axe, and then Shunt followed by the other House Robots joined in, securing the defeat of Ally Gator.

Axios

**Axios** was a box wedge shaped robot that competed in Series 3 of Robot Wars. It had four-wheel drive, skid-steer system and had a long wedge "tongue" and a drill lance on top (which Jonathan Pearce called a missile launcher). In its first fight it was defeated by reigning champion Panic Attack. Incidentally, the team's previous robot, Ron, was in Panic Attack's heat in Series 2 as well.

The word 'Axios' is Greek for 'a truly worthy and deserving person'.

## Robot History

The only match for Axios had a very fast start, with Panic Attack pushing Axios into Dead Metal, but Axios managed to escape. Axios then trapped Panic Attack twice with its long lance, trying to push Panic Attack into Dead Metal's CPZ instead. The robots drove around each other until Panic Attack eventually lifted Axios up and flipped it over with its forks. Panic Attack then proceeded to attack Matilda, and managed to flip her, also making her lose her shell. Meanwhile, Axios was sliced by Dead Metal and eliminated from the competition.

Bad Kitty

**Bad Kitty** is a robot built by Team Think Tank for Season 2 of ABC's BattleBots reboot. Its design was based on their previous entrant for the 2009 BattleBots competition, VD6.0, but with a cat theme, which included reshaping the weapon hood to look like a cat's head. 95% of the robot was completely different, though the disc of VD6.0 was used. Other changes from VD6.0 include two prongs on either side of the robot to aid its ability to drive inverted, and a small nuisance bot similar to Shaman named Little Kitty. Despite previous experience and a potent weapon, Bad Kitty lost in the qualifying rounds to Black Ice.

## Robot History

Bad Kitty was one of twelve robots which was selected to compete in the preliminary qualifier round to decide the final four places in the main bracket. It was drawn up against fellow veterans Skorpios and complete newcomer Black Ice. Skorpios got stuck underneath the screws almost immediately, leaving the match up to Bad Kitty and Black Ice. Unfortunately, Bad Kitty was unable to do much to the low front end of Black Ice, and eventually its drive motors burnt out, knocking the robot out of the tournament. Bad Kitty did have a better wedge which it could have used for this match, but in the scramble to get it ready for the qualifiers did not have time to attach it.

Bad Kitty wasn't finished yet as it participated in a small rumble with OverDrive and The Ringmaster. Bad Kitty dove out and battled with OverDrive before being flipped and when it tried to get away, The Ringmaster came in and damaged Bad kitty's right wheel, leaving Bad Kitty unable to move. Bad Kitty was counted out and eliminated from the rumble.

247

## Overview

**247** was a Middleweight robot built by Team Late Night Racing that competed in the 2004 ROBOLympics. It was an invertible four-wheel drive robot, armed with two lifting prongs on the front wedge. 247 did not do well in the competition, winning only one battle, and losing two. Team Late Night Racing would later find much greater success with Heavyweight competitor Original Sin, and Lightweight competitor The Big B.

## Robot History

247s first match was against Another Boring Wedge. 247 lost this match, and this meant it was in the losers bracket against Devilbot. This would be the only fight 247 would win as it proceeded to lose its next match against Who's Your Daddy. This meant 247 was eliminated from the tournament, 247 never made another RoboGames appearance after this, and was presumably promptly retired.

Battle Axe

**Battle Axe** is the Featherweight Robots Live house robot; built specifically to keep the featherweights under control. At its debut event, Burgess Hill 2008, it showed its authority in the arena and has already made a few enemies within the featherweight teams who are seeking revenge! BattleAxe has a pair of steel claws with 500Kg of thrust; it also carries a heavy steel hammer, powered by pneumatics.

## Robot History

Battle Axe was the first house robot made by the Robots Live event managers and the third (possibly forth if you include Sgt. Bash) house robot made for the robot live events. It made its debut in 2008 at Burgess Hill and was made to tackle featherweight robots becoming the second house robot made specifically to do so. The axe delivers major damage to the featherweights it manages to hit however because of their petite size it can be hard and even harder to catch with the claws. Battle Axe has been proven to be unreliable against flippers as they cane easily get underneath and flip Battle Axe, though not over it can prevent Battle Axe from attacking. Interestingly Battle Axe is the only house robot that seemingly never breaks the rules as a house robot, it only attacks when competitors enter its lair or if the competitor is immobilized.
Apocalypse

**Apocalypse** is a robot from Roaming Robots made by Team Asgard. It cost £3,000 and was built in 2007. Apocalypse would later be sold on and rebuilt as An Adorable Kitten and then ACE.

A new version of Apocalypse, a box-wedge with horizontal grabbing claws and an axe similar to Splinter, took part in Series 10 of Robot Wars

## Robot History

In its first battle of the 2008 UK Championship, Apocalypse met Hydra. Hydra avoided Apocalypse, but Apocalypse flipped it over, then out of the arena. In its Round 1 fight, it faced Tilly Evo, and flipped it out in under 10 seconds. But in its Quarter final match against Ripper Evo, Ripper got underneath it from the start and out it went.

At Barnsley 2009, Apocalypse fought Cabraken, and started well by flipping it against the wall, but Cabraken got down again. Apocalypse then chased them around the arena, and then the motors burned out over the pit, and Cabraken pushed the pit release so they decended into the pit. They lost in their next battle against Big Nipper and 8645T, so it didn't earn enough points to make it to the finals.

Apocalypse started well in its first Qualifier battle at Barnsley 2010, flipping Ripper Evo all over and almost into the pit. But then in an attempt to ﻿repeat what they did in 2008 to Hydra again, Hydra's axe punctured the batteries and burnt out Apocalypse's motors. For the first time, the new Apocalypse won its next battle against And His Army. It then lost its next fight at Guilford aginst Tilly Evo, so again lost out on the Semi-Finals.

Apocalypse has so far taken part in two fights in the 2011 UK Tour Championships. In its first fight, It was flipped out of the arena by Kronic straight away because it never even started moving. In its next fight with Batterbot, Storm Force﻿ & Cherub, it started moving, but then it stopped again.

Apex (Featherweight)

## Overview

**Apex** is a British featherweight robot built by Team Danby, which competed in the 2018 *King of Bots* UK International Championships. A scaled-down version of the team’s *Robot Wars* competitor, it initially achieved success in the qualification rounds, picking up a knockout victory against The Mighty Unicorn despite encountering issues with its drive and weapon systems. Further issues caused Apex to forfeit its remaining qualification battles, eliminating it from the 2018 UK International Championships at that stage.

Following a successful test, Apex was able to get its spinner working in its subsequent Tag Team battle, partnered with Broadax 2. During the early stages of the battle, it landed a heavy blow on Take Cover and Meow, which threw the latter over and disabled Apex's spinner entirely. Despite losing its weapon, Apex would win the aforementioned battle on a Judges’ decision with Broadax 2, as the only team with two robots still mobile.

## Design

Much like its heavyweight counterpart, Apex was a red, two-wheel drive robot with an inverted Y-shaped chassis and a distinctively large horizontal bar spinner. The spinner, painted gold, had a symmetrical design with two sets of cutting teeth on either end, and was quoted to have a rotational speed of 2,500rpm. These features allowed Apex's spinner to potentially cause significant damage to opponents when operational. Apex’s design incorporated HDPE wheelguards and rear armor panels, which were left unpainted.

It performed promisingly in its debut event, knocking out Aton. It then lost a decision to eventual event champion Crashfest, but won a forfeit over Zesty Hugs. Its run was ended by a knockout from Shifty.
Automatic Jack

**Automatic Jack** was a robot that entered the Super Heavyweight Championship that took place during series 2 of Robot Wars. Its one and only fight also featured Berserk and Death Jester, with the former winning the three-way fight and qualifying for the final.

## Robot History

Little is known about Automatic Jack's only fight as only a short clip was shown on television to highlight Berserk's victory. In that battle, Automatic Jack is shown to be moving slowly around the arena and being pressurised by Death Jester, which itself was lifted and attacked by Berserk. After Death Jester was immobilised Automatic Jack was pushed into the PPZ by Berserk, being caught and immobilised by Dead Metal.

Botknocker-19

**Botknocker-19** was a heavyweight robot which competed in Seasons 3.0 and 4.0 of *BattleBots*. It was a robot armed with a cone-shaped full-body spinning toothed shell. It didn't perform well in competition, winning two battles in two seasons. Botknocker-19 also attempted to compete in Season 5.0, but it forfeited due to unknown issues.

The team that built Botknocker-19 also built a superheavyweight named Hogzilla.

## Robot History

### Season 3.0

   Botnocker-19's first ever opponent was Reactore. Reactore was turned onto its side and lost by KO.

Little Sister was Botknocker-19's next opponent. Botknocker-19 started spinning its weapon and Little Sister tossed Botknocker-19 onto the top of its cone, leaving it to spin on its top for a bit. After Little Sister flipped Botknocker-19 onto its back around the corner of the BattleBox, Botknocker-19 started smoking and it was being counted out. Little Sister won by KO and Botknocker-19 was out of the tournament.

### Season 4.0

In the first fight against Sgt. Spanky, Botknocker spun up rather slowly, but Spanky did not get to it before it reached full speed. It circled Botknocker-19, hesitating to hit it, with Botknocker just sitting there. Eventually Spanky went ahead and rammed it causing a huge crash. Botknocker was slowed but spun back up before Spanky struck again. Spanky was knocked into the wall, dead. Botknocker moved on to fight El Diablo Grande.

Botknocker spun up,and Diablo rammed into it fearlessly, causing parts to fly and Diablo's drum to die. Diablo kept rammaing and ramming, one shot after another, getting its tail all twisted up and its body dented. Eventually Botknocker stopped spinning. Diablo tried to get its tail under for a lift, but it was too bent. Instead, it just pushed the ex-spinner around until Botknocker smoked and died. Botknocker lost by KO.

### Season 5.0

Botknocker-19 was supposed to fight Crabmeat in the first round. However, Botknocker-19 had technical issues and was forced to forfeit. Crabmeat won by default and Botknocker-19 was eliminated.

### 2004 NPC Charity Open

Botknocker-19's first fight of this event was against Final Verdict. Final Verdict came at Botknocker-19 and took a hit from Botknocker-19. Final Verdict then activated its bar and attacks again, striking a blow on Botknocker-19. Final Verdict continued to barrage Botknocker-19 and on one hit a robot-part was removed. Final Verdict hits Botknocker-19 again and this seems to have disabled Botknocker-19's weapon, which slowed down. Final Verdict chose to just shove Botknocker-19 around rather than continue striking with its bar. Final Verdict attempted to push Botknocker-19 into the pulverizer but failed as the timer sounded.

All Weather Tire Bot

**All Weather Tire Bot** was a middleweight robot which competed in Season 4.0 of BattleBots. It was a robot that was entirely built around a chain fitted tire which spun to supposedly cause damage, but it did none. It didn't perform well in competition, losing its first and only match to Maggot. It later fought in Steel Conflict 2 but lost both of its fights.

## Robot History

All Weather Tire Bot got rammed once before getting up to speed, and then pushed and lifted all around by Maggot. Maggot took no damage; the toothless spinner just makes a little noise as it "gummed" him. Maggot couldn't quite manage to flip AWTR, but it looked close at times. He spends most of the match driving around with the helpless spinner stuck up on his arm. Maggot won 38-7, and All Weather Tire Bot was out.

Chrome Fly

**Chrome Fly** (also spelled ChromeFly according to the official BattleBots website) is a robot which competed in Season 2 of ABC's *BattleBots* reboot. It was armed with dual spinning blades and was joined with a flying drone. It performed decently as it reached the round of 32 in its debut season.

## Robot History

Chrome Fly's first ever match in BattleBots was against Bucktooth Burl. Before the match began, Chrome Fly's drone was attached with a magnetic rake in order to disable Bucktooth Burl's spinning blades. In the beginning of the match, Bucktooth Burl was unable to get its weapon working properly, but when Chrome Fly hit Bucktooth Burl, the impact sent one of Chrome Fly's blades flying and left the other one disabled. Bucktooth Burl started pushing Chrome Fly against the arena wall and the drone dropped its magnetic rake on top of Bucktooth Burl. After this, the battle ended up being a pushing match for Chrome Fly and Bucktooth Burl started smoking toward the end of the match. The time ran out and Chrome Fly managed to win on an unanimous 3-0 judge's decision. This win put Chrome Fly into the round of 32 with its No.31 seeding, where it faced the No.2 seed Bronco.

Before the match began, Chrome Fly was fitted with small wedge skirts on both sides to prevent getting flipped by Bronco. In the beginning of the match, Chrome Fly got its spinning blades going and Bronco reversed into it, leaving a small shower of sparks. Both robots were moving around the BattleBox and Bronco got its rear wedge under one of Chrome Fly's spinning blades. This hit caused Chrome Fly's spinning blade to rip off its top armor and stopped moving immediately. Bronco backed away and went straight at the immobile Chrome Fly. This hit ripped off one of Chrome Fly's spinning blades and Bronco flipped it on its back toward the pulverizer. Bronco tried to flip Chrome Fly out of the BattleBox, but it landed on the railing and left it there. As Chrome Fly was being counted out, Bronco went after Chrome Fly's immobilized drone and tried to flip it, but it wasn't successful as it missed two times. In the end, Bronco won by KO at 1:00 and Chrome Fly was eliminated from the tournament.

Bullfrog

**Bullfrog**, sometimes known as BullFrog, is an invertible heavyweight robot from The Netherlands, armed with a rear-hinged flipper. Bullfrog was built by Team RCC, who had previously entered Dutch Robot Wars with RCC and Blackdevil Warzone. The robot can run inverted, although needs to self-right in order to use its flipper, much like Raging Knightmare and Thermidor 2. It was built at a cost of £2,000.

## Robot History

Bullfrog was originally built in 2008 as Bullfrog Breed by Harwich based roboteer Tony Fowler for the live events. But it was built in a way so it couldn't run inverted like it can now, it fought in one event in 2009 where according to the team lasted 15 seconds in a battle against Thor. For the 2011 UK Championships hosted at the O2 in London, it was built via e-mail by some Dutch and Belgian teams but it fell in the group stages against Tilly XP, Disc-Truction! & Tilly 2 Evo. Soon after, Fowler retired from robot events and sold the now renamed Bullfrog onto Team RCC who fight with it at the live events across Europe and the UK.

Bullfrog appeared in the first modern Robot Wars live event at Portsmouth in March 2013, where it face TR2, The Steel Avenger & Weird mAlice in the heats and lost. Bullfrog has appeared quite irregularly since, due to the team being located in The Netherlands.

It then made an appearance at the Robot Wars Live Event at Portsmouth in 2016 where despite having a jammed flipper, managed to win its first fight against Gabriel & Luzifer. Next it fought in a battle against Behemoth & Ripper, it did well managing to get a few flips on the other two opponents until it was thrown out the arena by Ripper. It did manage to win its next battle despite losing power to its weapon near the end of the fight against Gabriel and Luzifer. In its next battle it fought Behemoth, Cherub & Rattler, Bullfrog managed to flip Cherub out the arena, immobilise Behemoth and Rattler had lost drive on won wheel meaning Bullfrog won the fight.

Chunk

## Overview

**Chunk** (also stylized as **CHUNK**) was a middleweight robot built by CalPoly SLObotics, a group of students at California Polytechnical State University. With assistance from Christian Carlberg of Team Coolrobots, it competed in the 2009 *BattleBots* Collegiate Championship.

It was a yellow, two-wheeled robot armed with a belt-driven vertical bar spinner, weighing 20lbs and made out of aluminum. The bar was salvaged from another middleweight previously built by Carlberg, Knee-Breaker, while the robot's design also incorporated a rear wedge to push opponents around.

Chunk's appearance in the Collegiate Championship marked a number of *BattleBots* firsts. As well as being the very first robot to appear onscreen and win a match in the partially-released series, it was also the first to throw a competitor out of the BattleBox arena during an officially-filmed match, doing so in its initial bout against Bear Punch. However, this early run of success was curtailed by a knockout defeat against Triton, where Chunk got pushed up onto and trapped behind the screws at the very end of the match. Consigned to the losers' bracket, Chunk would be eliminated entirely following a second consecutive loss against Pharaoh, though footage of this fight has never been publicly released.

## Robot History

### BattleBots Collegiate Championship 2009

Chunk's first match of the tournament was Bear Punch. Both robots came out and Chunk hit Bear Punch hard, flipping it over and bending a drive axle. Bear Punch was not able to drive much as Chunk continued to attack and was eventually tossed out of the arena.

Chunk advanced to the second preliminary round where it faced Triton. For this fight, Triton opted to go with its front plow. As the match began, both robots were tentative with Chunk making only minor contact. Chunk got in two more hits before losing tension to the belts that connect its weapon, causing its weapon to slow considerably. Chunk continued to come at Triton, but was unable to mount any successful attacks. Chunk opted to use its rear wedge and was pushed on top of the screws with seconds left in the match.

Chunk's defeat put it into the second round of the losers' bracket, where it needed to win again in order to remain in the competition. Official match records and schedules confirm that it was drawn against the pneumatic flipper of Pharaoh, though no footage of this match has yet surfaced as only the first episode was publicly released. Regardless, Chunk was recorded to have lost to Pharoah on a Judges' decision, eliminating it from the Collegiate Championship with a 1-2 record despite its early feats.
