HyperShock

Season 4

**HyperShock** is a robot that has competed in Lego Battlebots ever since the Fourth of July Tournament. All three iterations of the bot (each are only slightly upgraded from the previous one) have been a mostly yellow, invertible, 4wd vertical spinner with its choice of a hinged wedge and forks (starting in Season 4). The robot is, with a current 10-2 record, one of the most successful Lego Battlebots.

HyperShock kicked off its career with a loss to Tombstone in Season 2, but came back for the Fourth of July Tournament with a hinged wedge and beat Switchblade, **Valkyrie**, Texas Twister, and Bloodsport to win the tournament. In Season 3 it, along with Gigabyte, took out **Blacksmith** and **SubZero** to advance to the next round. HyperShock then took out Gigabyte with the help of Hydra before losing to Hydra in the quarterfinals. It is currently in the Round of 16 in Season 4.

### Robot History

#### Season 2

HyperShock's first ever fight was against Tombstone, who was the #3 seed. Tombstone started out by hitting HyperShock, but doing no damage. HyperShock got flipped, however, and Tombstone delivered more hits. HyperShock remained durable, taking more damage. HyperShock took a bunch of more hits until getting thrown into the wall, but still took very little damage; he, however, was then split in half when Tombstone got in a lucky hit. He was then eliminated from Season 2.

#### Fourth of July Tournament

HyperShock was upgraded and entered the Fourth of July Tournament, and after beating Switchblade in the first round, he was on to the Quarterfinals to face Valkyrie. To begin the match, Valkyrie spun up and HyperShock deflected it into the wall. Another reflection happened and HyperShock drive Valkyrie around a bit. HyperShock then flipped Valkyrie with a big hit, and soon threw it into the screws' wall, getting it stuck. However HyperShock then saved it, but didn't let it do damage through the rest of the fight. HyperShock won by Out of the Arena (oota).

HyperShock then advanced to face **Texas Twister** in the Semifinals. Literally about all that happened was that Texas Twister spun up and was deflected many times by HyperShock, on at least two accounts getting flipped over. HyperShock then got Texas Twister stuck on the screws and threw it out.
HyperShock then faced Bloodsport in the Final. HyperShock immediately absorbed the first shot from Bloodsport and hit it with its vertical spinner. Bloodsport then hit the rear end, but it's attempt was to no avail as HyperShock then drove it into the wall again. HyperShock was a little difficult to control, but was showing lots of aggression, and soon tore a wheel off of Bloodsport. HyperShock then flipped Bloodsport over, and got in more hits as Bloodsport tried to self-right. He eventually self-righted, but HyperShock then flipped it again and threw it out, claiming the tournament championship.

#### Season 3

HyperShock entered Season 3, and was put up against **SubZero**, Gigabyte, and **Blacksmith** in a 4-way runble. When the fight began, Gigabyte spun up and SubZero tried to flip it, and did on the second try. HyperShock then deflected Gigabyte and flipped it. Gigabyte then tore a fork off of Blacksmith. HyperShock tore a wedge off of SubZero whilst Gigabyte tore off the flipper and the hammer head of Blacksmith. HyperShock then pushed Blacksmith into Gigabyte, sending Blacksmith out of the camera view. Soon after, HyperShock threw SubZero and Blacksmith out.

    HyperShock and Gigabyte then took on Hydra. A summary of what happened was that HyperShock and Hydra worked on deflecting Gigabyte around the arena, and HyperShock was flipped a couple of times. Hydra and HyperShock soon got Gigabyte out.

HyperShock and Hydra then took on each other. HyperShock got under Hydra to start before Hydra landed a flip. Both bots then circled day other for around 20 seconds before Hydra threw HyperShock out.

#### Season 4

HyperShock returned for Season 4, and his first opponent was Tsunami. In the first hit, HyperShock tore off the self-righting arm of Tsunami and flipped it. HyperShock then put it in the screws; in truth he was trying to save Tsunami. He soon did, but not before landing a massive hit that threw Tsunami out.

HyperShock then faced Gigabyte. HyperShock immediately box rushed Gigabyte and drove it into the wall. He kept the pressure on Gigabyte as he then deflected him nearly out of the arena. HyperShock then spun around after a hit from Gigabyte. HyperShock, though, was able to take quite a few more hits well, even flipping Gigabyte at one time, but then lost a wedge and a wheel. However he was able to get Gigabyte out of the arena using the screws.

HyperShock then took on SawBlaze. HyperShock got under SawBlaze and instantly threw it in the screws. He then rammed SawBlaze into a wall, flipping it. SawBlaze quickly righted itself before HyperShock chased it into another wall. SawBlaze then slipped under it, however, and controlled it some, getting it in the screws before losing a fork by itself. HyperShock then tore out the middle fork. The match got closer after that, as HyperShock landed one more hit before SawBlaze took control. He got in a hit with the hammer saw and threw HyperShock out when they got to the screws.

HyperShock then took on **P1** and had it out in under 20 seconds.

##### Season 4 Top 32

HyperShock got the #8 seed in the tournament, and was given a match against the #25 seed, **Skorpios**. HyperShock started out by flipping Skorpios 3 times, staying aggressive and speedy through the whole time. Skorpios then got in a hit before HyperShock drive it into the pulverizer, flipping it again soon after. Skorpios got in another hit, but HyperShock then flipped twice more before driving it out of the arena.
