Robotic Death Company

## Overview

The **Robotic Death Company** is a team from Escondido, California that competed from ROBOLympics 2004-RoboGames 2007. The team is perhaps best known for their robot **Megabyte** which at one point was one of the big three Heavyweights. Robotic Death Company retired from the sport in 2009, however in 2016 the team got back together seemingly out of nowhere, and entered a heavily modified version of Megabyte, named **Invader** into the 2016 BattleBots Reboot.

Cluster Flock

Cluster Flock is a robot that entered Robogames 2018 in the heavyweight division as a replacement for Doomba after one of the team members fell ill during transportation.

Cluster Flock consists of several robots from various weight classes and numerous drivers working together, the added weight total of all their bots combined was 220lbs so they were able to compete in the heavyweight division.

## Robot History

### Robogames 2018

#### Cluster Flock vs Nigel

Cluster Flock clearly did not have a cohesive plan to battle the autonomous ring spinner, Nigel, so they roamed around and got shoved around by Nigel for the entire match. The multi-bots were making continuous attempts to damage or get underneath Nigel. Due to the sheer size in numbers, the result was decided by Judges' Decision, in which Cluster Flock lost to Nigel.

#### Cluster Flock vs Echo 2.0

In its next match against Echo 2.0, Cluster Flock was pursuing the fleeing Echo. Echo was able to immobilise one of the bigger robots of Cluster Flock with its drum spinner, sending a huge strike to immobilise another shortly after. Since more than 50% of the robots are already immobile, Echo 2.0 won an easy knockout victory.

### Wins/Losses

Jawbreaker

**Jawbreaker** was a Heavyweight robot that competed at ComBots Cup I. It was an invertible tracked robot with no active weapon,and very thin armor. Unsurprisingly it did poorly in the competition, losing its only battle before forfeiting to BioHazard.

## Robot History

### ComBots Cup I

   Jawbreaker's first fight was against **Eugene**. This fight started with Eugene ripping off the plow of Jawbreaker before getting around to the side of Jawbreaker and tearing off the left side armor. This left Jawbreakers electronics exposed, and Eugene went in for the kill, tearing out the drive sprocket, and completely removing the left tread. In short Jawbreaker was completely destroyed, and tapped out.

Jawbreaker was next scheduled to fight **BioHazard**. However it was so badly damaged by Eugene that it had to forfeit this fight, this meant that Jawbreaker was eliminated from the competition.

Buzz Killington

**Buzz Killington** was a Fairyweight robot that built by **Team Misfit** that competed at RoboGames 2008. It was a two-wheeled robot armed with a very powerful triangular flywheel , and a feeder wedge to guide its opponents into its blade. Despite this potent weaponry, and agile drivetrain Buzz Killington did poorly at the event, losing both of its matches by knockout, and was promptly retired.

## RoboGames History

### RoboGames 2008

Buzz Killingtons first fight was against the horizontal spinner of **The Joke**. As soon as the fight started both robots spun up, The Joke then made contact on Buzz Killington with its spinning blade sending the latter spinning away. The Joke then delivered another hit to Buzz Killington, which then delivered a hit of its own.

This attack flipped The Joke, who promptly self righted due to gyroscopic forces. After this The Joke delivered another strong blow to Buzz Killington, sending it crashing against the arena wall. Buzz Killington then got three hits in on The Joke, flipping it on the third attack.

However once The Joke self righted it delivered another strong blow to its opponent that sent both bots flying. This attack disabled Buzz Killington causing it to promptly tap out.

This loss meant Buzz Killington was now in the losers bracket against another Team Misfit robot **Atom Bomb**. As soon as this fight started Buzz Killington attempted to get its flywheel into play. However Atom Bomb struck first, and managed to flip Buzz Killington multiple times with its drum.

Buzz Killington recovered, and got a shot on Atom Bombs side, each bot then drove around trying to position for a hit. Buzz Killington positioned itself first, and delivered a hit that sent Atom Bomb flying against the arena wall. Atom Bomb then struck back with a hit of its own, this attack disabled Buzz Killington and eliminated it from the competition.

Buzz Killington never made another RoboGames appearance as it was retired following this event.

Kanye's license of Sally's Mustang of Unlicensed Disintegration

"*Its a brand new robot from Grants High School. Two juniors, and two sophomores are on the team.*"
— Scott Robinson
 **Kanye's license of Sally's Mustang of Unlicensed Disintegration** (Usually shortened to Kanye's license) was a Middleweight robot built by students from Grants High School in Grants, New Mexico going under the team name: Harambe's Battalion that competed in RoboGames 2017. It was a brown, two-wheeled, weaponless, invertible box-shaped robot with a front facing wedge.

Kanye's license was built mainly out of scrap like most of the entries by Grants High School teams. Also like many Grants High School bots, Kanye's license did poorly in competition, breaking down in both of its matches.

## Robot History

### RoboGames 2017

Kanye's license's first match was against another robot from Grants High School, **Unlicensed Disintegration**. This was a rather uneventful match with both robots avoiding each other for the first 30 seconds. Unlicensed Disintegration then slammed Kanye's license against the wall immobilizing it, Kanye's license was then counted out giving Unlicensed Disintegration the win by KO.

"*Kanye's license kind of hanging out in its square, it's tires are spinning, but it's not connecting with the ground.*"
— Scott Robinson on the fight.

This put Kanye's license in the loser's bracket where it faced **Danger Zone**. This match started with Danger Zone spinning up, and ripping a piece off of Kanye's license, which promptly got high centered in the starting square, and was counted out. This meant that Kanye's license of Sally's Mustang of Unlicensed Disintegration was eliminated from the competition.

AVD

**AVD**(originally called Kickin Bleu) is a Lightweight robot built by **Team Think Tank** that competed in RoboGames 2018. It is a four-wheeled, invertible, silver robot armed with a vertical flywheel.

## RoboGames 2018

AVD competed at RoboGames 2018, earning an 0-2 record in its rookie season. The robot was finished at the event the day before fighting began, and competed in a total of four matches in the RoboGames arena.

### Fight 1 - Tsunami vs AVD

Video of the match

This was the first fight for both of these rookie robots, and these teams was side-by-side in the pits. AVD would not have made it into the arena without the help of Team Tanto, and I am in their debt for all the help and encouragement during the event. AVD had trouble spinning up in this match; the weapon belt was incredibly tight causing the motor to stall after a few revolutions. Once the weapon was up to speed small amounts of flexing in the frame caused the teeth to strike the ground, bouncing the robot in the air. Tsunami was able to take advantage of this by spinning up its weapon and positioning its weapon against AVD. Both robots made contact, repeatedly tossing each other into the air, before Tsunami was able to flip the bouncing AVD onto its flywheel. AVD then pulled itself to the wall, launching into an arial 360, and dumping its electronics upon landing. AVD was then counted out - Tsunami wins by KO in 0:45.

#### Fight 2 - Tactic vs AVD

AVD was repaired from its match with Tsunami, and on the 2nd day of the tournament faced the hinged AR400 wedge of Tactic. Before the fight two UHMW "feet" were added under the weapon uprights of AVD to keep the weapon from impacting the floor, but without proper testing they also exacerbated the ground clearance for the drive train. This further limited AVD's drivability when combined with the warping floor panels and weight distribution.

The match began with Tactic approaching AVD who was trying to spin up its weapon, but was having trouble with the start up. Tactic was able to take advantage of the situation by repeatedly getting to the sides of its opponent, pushing around while AVD eventually got its weapon to speed. A head-on collision between the two bots sent AVD into the air and landing on its weapon, which caused the robot to bounce back on its wheels, but the weapon had now seized. Tactic took advantage of the situation and pushed his opponent into the wall, high-centering AVD on the arena rail. AVD was then counted out while Tactic returned to its square with minimal damage done. Tactic wins by KO in 1:30.

SWAG reached the finals of the 2017-18 Robowars IIT Techfest event in Bombay.
Brave Little Toaster

**Brave Little Toaster** was a Beetleweight built by **Team Misfit** that competed in RoboGames 2007, and 2009. It was a wheeled toaster armed with a flamethrower. For a novelty bot Brave Little Toaster did decently, winning at least one fight in its career.

## Robot History

### RoboGames 2007

Not much is known about Brave Little Toaster's performance at RoboGames 07 other than the fact that it lost its first fight against **Little Bit Wacky**. This put it in the losers bracket against **The Bauers**, it won this fight, and faced **Gutter Monkey** next. Brave Little Toaster lost this fight, and this meant it was eliminated from RoboGames 2007.

### RoboGames 2009

Brave Little Toasters only known opponent at RoboGames 2009 was against **One Fierce Weed Wacker**. This fight started with One Fierce Weed Wacker getting up to speed, and hitting Brave Little Toaster. This peeled back the armor a bit, and One Fierce Weed Wacker came in for another attack, this time slicing the wheels of the toaster, this attack would continue until the wheels were completely destroyed, and Brave Little Toaster was counted out.

## Robot History

### RoboGames 2017

   Khaos's first match was supposed to be against **Plasma**, however Plasma arrived to the event incomplete, and was forced to forfeit the match putting Khaos into the next round where it faced **Echo 2.0**. This match started with both bots spinning up, Echo struck first popping Khaos into the air. Khaos then shoved Echo, stopping both bots weapons temporarily.

Echo then got away, and delivered a massive blow to Khaos that sent it flying through the air, and disabling its flywheel. However Khaos landed on its wheels, and drove away but not before Echo delivered a minor pop to the front corner of Khaos. Khaos then drove to the side of Echo 2.0, and attempted to shove it into the wall but missed, and slammed itself hard into the wall, and stopped moving and was counted out.

This loss put Khaos in the loser's bracket where it fought **Prometheus**,

2strong2bad

**2strong2bad** was a 500g Auto Mini-Sumo competitor built by Canadia team, **Solarbotics** that competed at ROBOlympics 2004. It was a white, and red, four-wheeled, box-shaped robot with a plow to easily shove opponents out of the sumo circle.

2strong2bad did very well in competition, winning the Bronze Medal on its only appearance. However it is unknown whom exactly it faced, but due to the amount of entries into the event that year it is impossible for it to not have finished with a positive win/loss record.
F7

**F7** is a British Middleweight robot built by **Team Tilly** that registered for RoboGames 2018. It is a two-wheeled, fast, invertable, unpainted (save for the bottom of the robot which is blue), wedge-shaped robot armed with a lifting arm, and powerful drive. The robot was ultimately completed, however for unknown reasons beyond Team Tilly's control, F7 ultimately dropped out of the competition.  This left Team ACE's **Iron Strike** as the sole UK Middleweight still registered.

## Outside RoboGames

F7 made its debut at Extreme Robots Manchester where it put on an impressive performance, going 1-1, and giving two UK Heavyweight champions **Ripper**, and **Eruption**  a hard fight during a Whiteboard rumble. This promptly got F7 invited to compete at an FMB event later in 2018.

## Trivia

* As of 2018 F7 is one of only three British Middleweights alongside **Iron Strike**, and *Robot Wars* competitor **Sweeny Todd**.
* Despite merely being a Middleweight F7 has proven that it can shove around UK Heavyweights (which are 30lbs heavier than their US counterparts) with relative ease.

## See Also

* **Iron Strike** - Another UK Middleweight that registered for RoboGames 2017, and one of the only other two British Middleweights.
* **Sweeny Todd (Robot Wars)** - The other of the two UK Middleweights that is currently in existence as of 2018, competed in Series 8 of Robot Wars, and lost in the first round.

Ambien

**Ambien** was a Hobbyweight robot built by Team Haze that registered to compete in ROBOLympics 2004. Not much is known about Ambien, and no photos of the robot are known to exist, as such it is unknown what exactly its weapon was. Ambien did not wind up competing, and did not attempt to compete again.
Anti matter

**Anti matter** is a Middleweight robot built by the JROCS Robotics Squad that competed at RoboGames 2017. It is a silver, two-wheeled, invertible, weaponless, wedge-shaped robot.

Anti matter didn't do well in competition, both winning, and losing one fight by forfeit, and only making it into the arena once where it fought, and lost to Touro.

## Robot History

### RoboGames 2017

Anti matter's first match was supposed to be against **Demoralizer**. However, Demoralizer forfeited the match, butting it in the next round where it faced **Touro**. This match began with Anti matter having drive issues, and only being able to drive around in circles as Touro spun up. This allowed Touro to come in, and deliver a blow to Anti matter that popped it up into the air.

Anti matter landed on its wheels, but was still suffering drive issues, this allowed Touro to spin back up, and deliver another shot to Anti matter. This hit sent Anti matter flying through the air, landing upside-down, and bending some framework. Despite being invertible, that last hit had damaged Anti matter's one remaining side of drive, leaving it unable to move, and it tapped out.

This put Anti matter into the loser's bracket where it next fought **Black and Blue**.  This was a very dull match, as Black and Blue shoved Anti matter all over the arena. The judges unsurprisingly voten in favor of Black and Blue, this meant that Anti matter was eliminated from the competition.

NIGHTHAWK

**NIGHTHAWK** was a Middleweight robot built by Team Aptyx Designs that competed in RoboGames 2017. It was a black, four-wheeled, weaponless, invertible, box-shaped robot styled after an F-16 fighter jet, and equipped with interchangable wedges.

Despite being built mere weeks before the competition NIGHTHAWK did very well in its debut as after a rocky start it proceeded to win the Silver Medal after a pair of extremely close fights with former champion General in the Middleweight Finals.

## Robot History

### RoboGames 2017

   NIGHTHAWK's first match was against crowd favorites **Rampage**. Despite the fact that Rampage had managed to get itself stuck in the wall, and unable to free itself. In an effort to free Rampage, NIGHTHAWK rammed it, and attempted to free it but got stuck itself.  The match was then counted down, and in one of many suspect decisions of the event NIGHTHAWK was controversially deemed the loser after the refs deemed it to be pinning Rampage.

This decision put NIGHTHAWK in the loser's bracket where it faced Mexican entry, **Robotto**. This fight started with Robotto getting up to speed, and driving over NIGHTHAWK multiple times, but not really doing any damage. NIGHTHAWK then got under Robotto, and slammed it against the arena wall, stranding it on its rear, and Robotto was counted out.

This win by KO put NIGHTHAWK into the next round where it faced **Lionheart**. This match started with NIGHTHAWK capitalizing on a driving error by Lionheart, and slamming it into the wall. It continued this tactic until time ran out, damaging the arena floor in the process, and won a 22-11 judges decision putting it in the Round of 16 where it faced **MANDiii**.

**Hidden Power** was a Featherweight competitor built by **Team Misfit** that competed in ROBOLympics 2004. It was a Silver, box wedge shaped robot armed with a combination lifter/clamping arm, around the sides of the robot were hinged skirts, designed to keep other robots from getting under it. Hidden Power did poorly in its only event, losing both of its fights.

## RoboGames History

### ROBOLympics 2004

Not much is known about the Featherweight competition at the 2004 ROBOLympics, in fact all that is known are the fight results, who entered, and who showed up. Because of this lack of information all that is known about Hidden Powers performance is that it lost its first fight against **Kick-me Mo**.

This put Hidden Power in the losers bracket where it faced **Green Eye Silver Dragon**. It lost this fight as well, eliminating Hidden Power from its only RoboGames appearance.

Sliver King

**Sliver King** is a Middleweight robot built by M&M Robotics of Kirkland, Washington that competed at RoboGames 2017. It was a two-wheeled, silver, invertible, wedge-shaped robot with no active weapons.

Sliver King performed poorly in competition becoming the first robot to fall victim to the controversial "wall rule", and ultimately only managing to win one fight.

## Robot History

### RoboGames 2017

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

   This meant that Sliver King was now in the loser's bracket where it faced **Deathrow**. This match started with Deathrow getting constantly hung up on inconsistancies in the floor panels. Sliver King took adavantage of this, easily getting under Deathrow, and shoving it around gently.

"*Sliver King pushing Deathrow around, yeah Sliver King definitely trying to avoid getting stuck on the arena again.*"
— Dave Calkins commentating on Sliver Kings cautious attack method.

Sliver King then slammed Deathrow into the walls twice very gently to avoid getting stuck once more. Sliver King then got under Deathrow again but Deathrow's lifter hit a floor seam allowing it to escape. Sliver King then got back under it, and took it to the wall once again. Deathrow then got under Sliver King in the final 30 seconds of the fight, but Sliver King escaped, and took it to the wall a final time as the clock ran down.

Unsurprisingly Sliver King won the resulting judges decision, and advanced to the round of 8 where it faced **catKong**.

Grasshopper

**Grasshopper** was a Middleweight robot built by Team Nightmare that competed at ROBOLympics 2004. It was a two wheeled, invertible, box shaped robot with two ramming spikes. It was painted black, and green with an insect painted on top. Grasshopper did not do well in competition, losing both of its battles. Grasshopper resurfaced in 2011, when it competed in the BattleBots Professional Championship that year, doing far better there. However it subsequently retired again.

## Robot History

### ROBOLympics 2004

Grasshopper's first fight was against **Stahl**. It lost this match, and was now in the loser's bracket where it faced **Terrabyte**. It lost this match as well, and was eliminated from the competition.

Crash Kart

**Crash Kart** was a Lightweight robot built by **Syntax Error Robotics**, that competed in Robogames 2018. It was an invertible, blue, two-wheeled, weaponless wedge with a green stripe running across the front, and two goolgy eyes on the side.

Crash Kart was built as a replacement for the teams former Bronze Medalist **SyntaxError();**, however it did poorly in competition, losing both of its matches.

## Robot History

### Robogames 2018

Crash Kart's first match was against **Tsunami Light**, this match started with Crash Kart box-rushing Tsunami Light. However it paid the price as Tsunami Light first ripped off one of the googly eyes before sending Crash Kart flying through the air. Tsunami Light then drove in again, and sent it flying once more, Crash Kart then stopped moving, and tapped out.
This meant that Crash Kart was now in the loser's bracket where it faced **Tastes Like Burning.** The loss to **Tastes Like Burning** was later attributed to a connection failure between the right side drive motor and the Sabertooth speed controller, causing the reciever to bootloop, resulting in a loss of control in the final 30 seconds of the match, after dominating the fight prior to the failure.
