247

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**.

Team Late Night Racing formed to make Team Special Delivery, which competed with Free Shipping on BattleBots.

## RoboGames History

### ROBOLympics 2004

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.

Knucklehead

Knucklehead was a Lightweight robot which competed in RoboGames 2016. It was a red, box shaped axlebot with fists painted on the top front of the robot, and the american flag painted on the side. Knucklehead performed very poorly in competition, losing both of its battles by Knockout.

## Robot History

### RoboGames 2016

In one fight it fought Federal M.T.. Knucklehead tried spinning on the spot hoping to thwack Federal M.T. but ended up being propelled by the drum blade. Upon the massive impact Knucklehead lost its tail and was now weaponless. Knucklehead struggled to move and was only moving one wheel when Federal M.T. came in for a second attack chucking it in the air. Federal M.T. attacked Knucklehead a few more time before eventually Knucklehead was immobilized. In other words Knucklehead lost, this put it in the loser's bracket where it faced Vulkan it lost by KO, eliminating it from the tournament.

Knucklehead first appeared in the fifth and final season of the original run of Battlebots. There it faced **Bad Buzzard** and was defeated in its first and only match, after this it was retired for several years until RoboGames 2016.
Yaotl

Yaotl was a four wheeled invertable Heavyweight robot from Mexico built for Robogames 2009. It was armed with a hooked wedge to snare its opponents. Yaotl did not perform well in the competition, losing its first and only fight to **Counter Revolution** in a very destructive manner.

## Robot History

### Robogames 2009

Yaotls first match was against the dual disc spinner of **Counter Revolution**. Once this fight started Yaotl left its starting square, and wedged under Counter Revolution. Despite this promising start, Yaotl then broke down, and Counter Revolution ripped its top armor off. Yaotl was then counted out, and eliminated from the tournament.

## Combat Record

Wins: 0

Losses:1

## Trivia

* Due to RoboGames double elimination structure Yaotl holds the dubious distinction of being one of only three one time losers in Robogames history. The others being: 2EZ, and Drag Racer.
Victory Dance

A **Victory Dance** is when a victorious robot shows off after either its opponent has been defeated by KO, OOTA, or it has dominated a fight which went to a judges decision.

## History

The Victory Dance dates back to early televised Robot Combat competitions in the early 2000's such as Comedy Central's *BattleBots*, and on rare occasions, BBC, and Mentorn's *Robot Wars*, although it was more prevalant in *BattleBots*. After the shows were cancelled for over a decade this tradition continued on the live circuits in most countries where the sport was prevalant.

## Types of Victory Dance

### Victory Dance

A traditional Victory Dance is where the victorious robot drives around the arena (usually utilizing its weapon in a stylish fashion if applicable) to showboat. This is usually most appearant with robots that have an active weapon such as **Sewer Snake**.

### Victory Spin

A Victory Spin is where a victorious robot spins in place to showboat. This is more common with vertical spinners such as **Wanna Go?**, drum spinners such as **UnMakerBot**, and weaponless robots. However with Vertical Spinners, and Drum Spinners the victory spin almost always contains gyrodancing which can make it almost (if not just) as flashy as a traditional victory Dance.
Team Tanto

**Team Tanto** is a team from Scottsdale, Arizona which competed in the insect class in RoboGames 2017, and the Antweight and Lightweight classes in 2018 before returning with a new heavyweight robots in 2023.

## Team History

### RoboGames 2017

Team Tanto entered with three robots in RoboGames 2017, and did very well in the 1lb Combat events with **Maverick**placing fourth in the main bracket, and **Tsunami**winning gold in the junior bracket. The Beetleweights were another matter altogether however as their sole entry **Rogue Wave**lost both of its matches, and was eliminated early on.

### RoboGames 2018

Team Tanto returned in 2018 with Tsunami and a new 60lber called **Tsunami Light**. The team couldn't repeat their success from the previous year with Tsunami going 2-2 and Tsunami Light going 3-2.

### RoboGames 2023

Team Tanto unveiled a new robot named **Manta** for the heavyweight division. Despite self-destructing against HexaDecimator, Manta would claw its way through the losers bracket and claim the heavyweight gold medal.

Tyranno

**Tyranno** is a Heavyweight robot from the United States that is registered to compete in RoboGames 2018. It is a black, plow-shaped robot with unknown weaponry (if it has any at all). Strangely the robot is not invertible, and despite a picture existing of the robot, nothing is known about the team behind it either.
The Great Pumpkin

## Overview

**The Great Pumpkin** was a lightweight (later a heavyweight) robot built by team **Hardcore Robotics** with a plastic pumpkin on top that competed at Robogames 2009-2015 and Combots Cup VI-VII. It was retired after Robogames 2015.

The first Great Pumpkin was a lightweight robot. It was a silver, boxed-shaped robot with a wedge on front that competed at Robogames 2009. It also had a inflatable pumpkin on top. It was similar to the teams other lightweight (later a middleweight), **Frosty The Snowbot**. However the inflatable pumpkin got punctured in it’s first match, and was replaced with a hard plastic pumpkin. This robot performed decently as it went 2-2. After the event **Ray Billings** simply gave the robot away.

The second Great Pumpkin was a heavyweight robot built from one of the old frames from **The Mortician**. It was a 2 wheeled, boxed-shaped robot mounted with a large orange a black wedge. (It would later have a heavier wedge and a flamethrower system.) Like the first version it featured a plastic pumpkin on top of the robot. This however made the robot not invertible. (However if the plastic pumpkin was removed the robot would be invertible.) This version performed well as it never failed to win at least one match in each tournament. This version first competed at Combots Cup VI where it went 2-2. This version was then turned into the 2016 version of **Swamp Thing**.
Whirlwind

**Whirlwind** was a Middleweight built by **Team Poison Fists** that competed in ROBOLympics 2004. It was a Red, White, and Blue, twho wheeled, invertible robot armed with a static thwacking wedge. Whirlwind performed decently at RoboGames, both winning and losing two battles each. Whirlwind also entered Season 5.0 of BattleBots where it went 1-1, and the first BattleBots IQ event, however it is unknown how well it did there.

## Robot History

### ROBOLympics 2004

Whirlwind's first fight was against the flipping arm of **Botfly**, Whirlwind won this fight, and next faced **Another Boring Wedge**. It lost this fight putting it in the losers bracket against the spinning drum of **Who's Your Daddy**. It won this fight, and next faced **Devil's Plunger**, it lost this fight and was eliminated from ROBOLympics 2004.

## Outside RoboGames

Wedge of Doom first debuted at Robot Wars 1996 as a Featherweight, where it won the championship that year, and the following year. Four years later it was remade into a Lightweight, and it competed at BattleBots Seasons 3.0 to 5.0 it did well there too, reaching the semifinals in Season 3.0, the quarterfinals in Season 4.0, and the finals in Season 5.0.

Like many notable competitors on that show Wedge of Doom competed at Steel Conflict after BattleBots ended where it became Lightweight champion of both Steel Conflict 2, and the Triangle Series Nationals. It was only after this that Wedge of Doom entered the first two RoboGames events before ending its career with the best historical ranking of any Lightweight in the history of the sport.

## Trivia

* Only five robots have ever beaten Wedge of Doom and those are: Gamma Raptor, Ziggo, Dr. Inferno Jr., Mini Madd, and Hexy Jr. Of those five only one of them (Hexy Jr.) accomplished this at RoboGames.
* With its 43-5 Win/Loss record Wedge of Doom has the best historical record of any Lightweight.
Wrath

**Wrath** is a Middleweight robot built by students from the **GOW School**. It is a two-wheeled, invertible, triangular-box-shaped robot similar in design to **Team Migos**. It is to be armed with a horizontal bar spinner, and judging by its design it is likely a successor to Team Migos, which went 0-2 in RoboGames 2017.
Karma

**Karma** is a Middleweight robot from India built by Team Karma that registered to compete in RoboGames 2018. It is a blue, compact, invertible, two-wheeled, box-shaped robot armed with a powerful spinning drum capable of sending its opponents flying. However sometime on, or before Febuary, 19, 2018 it dropped out leaving a slot open for one of the waitlisted robots or new competitiors. These slots were shortly filled by Iran's **Zelzal**, Jordan's **Four of a Kind**, and India's **Bheem**.

## Outside RoboGames

Karma first made its international debut at the 2018 FMB World Cup Finals in China where it won the Middleweight division, taking out notable RoboGames competitors such as Touro, and Apolkalipse along the way.
Spitwad

**Spitwad** is a Beetleweight robot built by Caustic Creations that competed at RoboGames 2017. It is a four-wheeled, silver and blue, invertible, box-shaped robot armed with a powerful drum spinner. Spitwad did well in competition, reaching the Semifinals on its first appearance.

## Robot History

### RoboGames 2017

   After receiving a bye in the first round, Spitwad's first opponent was **The Butcher**. This match started with both robots spinning up to speed, Spitwad then delivered a massive hit that sent The Butcher rebounding off the lexan. The Butcher then recovered, and spun back up, delivering a flurry of blows to Spitwad.

Both robots then spun up to full speed again and collided. This hit sent The Butcher flying into the air and rebounding off the lexan. This hit also ripped a huge gash in the lexan walls of the arena. Once The Butcher landed it was only functioning on one side with its weapon completely busted, surrounded by debris.  The butcher was defeated and promptly tapped out.

   This put Spitwad through to the Round of 16 where it faced **Quicksand**. It won this match, and advanced to the quarterfinals where it faced fellow BattleBots miniature, **Hyperschlock**. This match started with Hyperschlock flipping itself, Spitwad attacked it, flipping it.

Spitwad then delivered another attack, before Hyperschlock backed up, flipping itself yet again. Spitwad then attacked it once more, righting it once again. Hyperschlock then popped Spitwad before Spitwad flipped it again, then delivered a hit that sent Hyperschlock flying.

Hyperschlock righted itself, but quickly turned back over, Spitwad then removed the front, right wheel from Hyperschlock. Hyperschlock then got a hit in on Spitwad that flipped both bots as time ran out.

The judges gave the fight to Spitwad, but it suffered too much damage to go on in the tournament- its 8mm weapon shaft broke and there were no spares. It forfeited to Dark Slayer in the winners' bracket, and RumHam XL in the losers' bracket.

Team Robomaster

Team Robomaster, based out of Piedmont, California began their career in 2000 with the Lightweight Battlebot, Robomaster. Jim and Forrest Yeh have since continued as a father-son team to build several weight classes for each year of Robogames, Combots Cup, King of Bots, and Battlebots.

## Robots:

### Ragin Scotsman (220lb)

Team Robom

   aster’s best-known robot, originally built by Forrest Yeh in the Piedmont Highschool Scotbotics Club in 2010, but rebuilt to a 4-wheel design in 2011 for the Killer Robots Science Channel special with Grant Imahara. The flamethrower mechanism used in Ragin Scotsman is currently the largest in the sport and the same design used in Free Shipping (Battlebots) with a maximum length of 25ft. Because Team Robomaster adopted Ragin Scotsman once Forrest graduated highschool, the whole team has traditionally worn kilts at each year of Robogames.

    ​​​​​​

### Prometheus (220lb)

    Using the original chromoly frame from the 2010 Ragin Scotsman , Forrest Yeh modified it when he went to his undergraduate at The University of California, Merced. Team Robomaster helped the UCM Robotics Society run Prometheus until Forrest graduated.

### Who’s Your Daddy (120lb)

    The red, 4-wheeled drum spinner featured hinged side-skirts made of titanium, but was eventually replaced when Jim Yeh built Who’s Your Daddy Now.

Who's Your Daddy fought at Steel Conflict and won 2nd place at Combots cup

### Who’s Your Daddy Now (120b)

    Based on a similar drive train as Ragin Scotsman , with 4 wheels.

### Come to Mama (60lb)

    Originally built for Jim’s wife, Buffy Yeh. With an aluminum chassis, four concealed wheels, and a drum.

### Robomaster (60lb)

The team's first robot for Battlebots in 2000, a lifter with titanium armor that has since been retired.

### The Bully (30lb)

    Four protected wheels and a titanium wedge. Forrest’s first robot when he was 10 years old that later became the top ranked Featherweight on BotRank. The Bully was the first robot from Team Robomaster to use a flamethrower, but the weapon was removed in 2011.

## Other Teams:

### Free Shipping (Battlebots, 250lb)

    Team Robomaster joined forces with Gary Gin as Team Special Delivery to build Free Shipping in Battlebots 2018 & 2019 as well as the Re:MARS Amazon Conference in Las Vegas. The flamethrower mechanism was based off of the same design as Ragin Scotsman.

### Spin Doctor (KOB, 110kg)

    Built with Dave Calkins and Rick Russ in 2017 for the Chinese Competition, King of Bots. A 4-wheeled design based off of Vlad the Impaler with a red drum spinner and flamethrower.
Starsky & Hutch

**Starsky and Hutch** were a Hobbyweight multibot that registered to compete at ROBOLympics 2004. Both robots were almost identical being, two wheeled, invertible, box shaped robots with a wedge on the front of each of them. However one half was red, and the other half was gray. Starsky and Hutch however did not compete in the main competition, but it did compete in a grudge match where it lost to Xenophobia.

## Robot History

### ROBOLympics 2004

   Starsky and Hutch's only match was a grudge match after the competition against **Xenophobia**.  This match started with Xenophobia spinning up to full speed, and sending one half of the multibot flying, however both multibot halves then worked together to take Xenophobia to the wall. Xenophobia then spun back up, and delivered a hit that took out a wheel on one of the multibots, before doing the same to the other.

It followed this up by delivering several hits to the gray multibot, sending it flying before attacking the red multibot for a while. Xenophobia then took the right wheel off the gray multibot, completely immobilizing it before ripping the left wheel off of the red multibot, and getting stuck in the wall. After the fight resumed Xenophobia delivered four massive hits to the red multibot, this caused it to stop moving, resulting in Starsky and Hutch tapping out.

Syntax Error Robotics

A team based in Glendale California and founded in 2015. Built the 2016 3rd-place lightweight SyntaxError(); and prototyped a new wedge format on Crash Kart in 2018, but was unable to continue with the design due to Robogames' discontinuation.

Currently they run a number of ant and beetlewieghts in local competitions and are working on a number of conceptual 250 pound designs.
SyntaxError();

**SyntaxError();** is a Lightweight robos that has competed since RoboGames 2016. It was originally a black, and red, four-wheeled box-wedge shaped robot with no active weapons. This version did well in competition, winning the Bronze on its first appearance.

After this it was redesigned into a silver, four-wheeled, box-shaped robot armed with a vertical spinning bar for RoboGames 2017. However this version performed poorly, losing both of its matches by knockout.

## Robot History

### RoboGames 2017

After recieving a bye in the first round, the brand new version of SyntaxError();'s first ever match was against rivals **Federal M.T.** This match started with both bots spinning up to speed, Federal M.T then started grinding against the side of SyntaxError(); with its flywheel. This caused one half of SyntaxError();'s drive to fail, and it tapped out.

This meant that SyntaxError(); was now in the loser's bracket where it faced **masSACre Lite**, this match started with masSACre Lite spinning up, and ripping one of the front wedges off of SyntaxError(); almost immediately as SyntaxError(); was unable to spin up. masSACre Lite then launched a side-on attack on SyntaxError();, flipping it before attacking, and destroying the weapon motor of SyntaxError();. SyntaxError(); then tapped out, meaning that the former Bronze Medalists were eliminated from the competition.

T-800

**T-800** was a Middleweight robot built by students from the Gow School in South Wales New York going under the team name of Ouagadougou that competed in the 2016, and 2017 RoboGames.

## Robot History

### RoboGames 2017

   T-800's first match was against **Houston**. This match started with T-800 spinning up, and slamming itself into the wall, Houston then cornered it and briefly prevented it from spinning up to full speed.

However T-800 then got up to full speed, and whilst going for an attack run on Houston, pulled a mauler that flipped itself upside down, and was counted out. All this took place in less than a minute giving Houston the win by an easy KO.

This put T-800 in the loser's bracket where it faced **Flame War**. The battle began with T-800 bashing towards Flame War, almost toppling itself on some occasions. After some smacks, Flame War tipped over due to being top heavy, but as a result T-800 was flipped over as well. Both robots were being counted out but T-800 span and managed to get itself back onto its wheels, Flame War was then counted out giving T-800 its first ever win at RoboGames.

T-800 next fought **catKong**,

Touro Feather competed on the Brazilian live circuit for a number of years before eventually seemingly being retired until mid 2022 when it once again took a trip stateside to compete at Norwalk Havoc's July event where it placed second qualifying it for the December finals where it would ultimately go 0-2 against an incredibly stacked field.
VD 6.0

VD6 was a heavyweight robot that competed in Robogames 2009. It was a wedge shaped robot armed with a vertical disc spinner with kevlar armor.

It didn’t do well in the competition, going 0-2.

However, VD6 competed at the BattleBots 2009 Pro Championship as VD6.0, where it got third place.

## Robot History

### Robogames 2009

VD6's first and only match was against Team Hardcore Robotics's Last Rites. VD6 added extra armor to the front of the robot to hopefully absorb some of the punishment from Last Rites's spinning bar. VD6 charged full-speed at Last Rites before the fight even began, trying to stop the blade early and pin it against the wall. That plan failed miserable as Last Rites tore a chunk of the extra front armor off of VD6. VD6's weapon started to spin up and VD6 charged at Last Rites again. This time however, Last Rites's blade was at full-speed and the extra front armor of VD6 went flying everywhere, VD6's weapon was also disabled in that exchange. Last Rites hit the front of VD6, tearing chunks of Kevlar off of VD6. VD6 stopped moving and Last Rites got in a couple more shots on VD6. This time, shredding a tire of VD6 apart and sending lots of kevlar flying all over the place. VD6 tapped out and Last Rites was the winner.

VD6 was now in the loser's bracket where it was supposed to face Counter Revolution. However, due to being completely destroyed by Last Rites, VD6 forfeited the match as it could not be repaired. Counter Revolution won by forfeit and VD6 was eliminated. VD6 would never go on to compete in Robogames ever again after this.

Team Uai!rrior would later go on to BattleBots in 2019-2020 to compete with Black Dragon.

Federal M.T. did extremely well in competition, usually reaching the finals, winning the Gold in 2013, 2016 & 2018, and the Silver in 2015, & 2017.

## Robot History

### RoboGames 2017

   After receiving a bye in the first round, Federal M.T.'s first match was against **Syntax Error ();**, this match started with both bots spinning up to speed, Federal M.T then started grinding against the side of SyntaxError(); with its flywheel. This caused one half of SyntaxError();'s drive to fail, and it tapped out.

This put Federal M.T. in the quarter-finals where it faced yet another RoboGames 2016 rematch, this time against **Tastes Like Burning**. This match started with Federal M.T. quickly getting up to speed, however Tastes Like Burning clamped down on it, and started roasting it with its flamethrower and driving it all over the arena. Still in control, Tastes Like Burning then slammed Federal M.T. into the wall, and Federal M.T. started smoking.

However Federal M.T. got away, and delivered some hits to Tastes Like Burning bending its forks up leaving it unable to get under Federal M.T. This allowed Federal M.T. to bide its time whilst it lined up a shot on Tastes Like Burning, this hit sent Tastes Like Burning flying through the air, and landing upside-down, bursting a tank valve, and leaving it completely unable to attack with its jaws. Federal M.T. then scored a few more hits with its flywheel as the final 14 seconds ticked down.

Unsurprisingly the judges scored the match in favor of Federal M.T., putting it in the semi-finals where it faced a severely damaged **Wanna Go?**.

Black Widow!

**Black Widow!** was a robot created by Hal Rucker that entered Combots Cup VI. It was a box shaped 8WD lifter. What is most unique about Black Widow! is how tall the bot is. Only being 2.5 inches tall (For reference BioHazard was only 4 inches tall). Despite its technology, Black Widow! performed poorly, only winning one fight and losing two, never returning to RoboGames again

Hal Rucker would continue to compete in RoboGames with Black and Blue & More knowingly Whoops!. Hal Rucker also competed in *BattleBots* season 2-4 with **The Ringmaster** (Season 2), **DUCK!** (Season 3 & Season 4). He also built **Marvin** for his daughter, Hannah which competed in Season 4 of *BattleBots* along with **DUCK!**

## Combots VI

Black Widow's first fight of Combots VI was against Gruff. Both bots we're aggressive and trying to get under one another. Gruff clamped down on Black Widow! shortly before Black Widow! got away. Both bots struggled to get under one another until Black Widow! got under Gruff and pushed it towards wall, slightly lifting Gruff up with its lifting arm before Gruff escaped. At the point, Gruff started to have issues driving and slowed up, allowing Black Widow! to take advantage and be more aggressive. Black Widow! continued shoving Gruff around, unable to get under it before the time ran out. The judges ruled in favor of Black Widow!, and Black Widow! advanced to the next round where it faced the feared Last Rites

The match started with Last Rites getting up to speed before Black Widow! shoved it into the wall, however Last Rites escaped any damage. This attack caused Black Widow! to lose a side of drive, which allowed Last Rites to come in and start chipping at Black Widow!, removing a set of wheels in the process. Black Widow! taped out, and Last Rites won by Tap Out. Black Widow! was then shoved down into the losers bracket where it faced Vlad The Impaler II

The match started fairly even as both bots were able to get under one another before Vlad II was able to get under it and slam it into the wall several times. Black Widow! was able to get under Vlad II numerous times, however due to Black Widow!'s last of catchers, Vlad II just ramped over Black Widow! so Black Widow! could never push it or lift it. Vlad II continued to push Black Widow! around until it got caught under the wall while ramming Black Widow!, Black Widow! during this time had also stopped moving. The match was paused so Vlad could be unstuck. When the match continued, Black Widow! was awfully slow and almost immobile, but because Vlad II continued to ram Black Widow! into walls, no countdown was issued. The match ultimately went the distance and the judges with no second thought in mind, gave Vlad The Impaler II the win. This knocked Black Widow! out of the tournament

Twang

**Twang** is a Heavyweight robot which was registered to compete in RoboGames 2018. It is currently unknown what Twang will have looked like, the team behind it, weaponry (if any), or even which country the robot is from. Since the robot ultimately dropped out of the competition at the last minute, it is unlikely that it will ever be known.
Team Migos

**Team Migos** is a Middleweight robot built by students from the GOW School in South Wales, New York that competed at RoboGames 2017. It  is a silver, two-wheeled, invertible, box-shaped robot armed with a horizontal spinning bar. The robot itself is similar in design to Heavyweight, **FunsDead**.

Unfortunately Team Migos proved unreliable, and did not do well in competition, forfeiting its first match, and losing its second by KO after its weapon failed to work as intended, and it got stranded on its rear. The robots name was likely based off the Atlanta, Georgia mumble rap group *Migos*.

## Robot History

### RoboGames 2017

   Team Migos's first opponent was scheduled to be another GOW School creation, **Danger Zone**. However Team Migos had technical issues, and was forced to forfeit the match, this put it in the loser's bracket where it faced **Stewart**. This fight started with Stewart leading with the wedge, however it quickly became appearant that the weapon of Team Migos wasn't working, and Stewart delivered a hit with its drum that sent Team Migos flying.

Team Migos finally spun up, however its weapon speed was not very fast, and did absolutely nothing to Stewart which came in, and ripped a chunk off of the spinning bar. Stewart then flipped Team Migos before delivering a hit that sent it flying multiple feet into the air, nearly out the arena before flipping it again. Stewart then sent Team Migos flying again before delivering a hit to Team Migos that stranded it on its rear, and Team Migos was counted out, eliminating it from the competition.

Wanna Go?

**Wanna Go?** is a Lightweight robot built by Team Fast Electric Robots that competed at RoboGames 2017. It is a green, two-wheeled, invertible, box-shaped robot armed with a powerful vertical flywheel.

Wanna Go? did well in competition, reaching the semi-finals on its debut in RoboGames 2017.

## Robot History

### RoboGames 2017

   Wanna Go?'s first match ever was against **Tremor**, this match started with Wanna Go spinning up to speed, and rushing Tremor, sending it flying. This hit caused Tremor to stop working, and Wanna Go? hit Tremor again before performing a Victory Dance as Tremor was counted out.

This put Wanna Go? through to the next round where it was scheduled to fight **Death by Monkeys**. However, Death by Monkeys was unable to compete, and was forced to forfeit the match. This meant that Wanna Go? was now in the quarter-finals where it faced Brazilian vertical spinner, **K-Torze**.

This match started with both bots spinning up. Wanna Go? struck first popping K-Torze which drove away as Wanna Go? gave chase, and popped it again, this time flipping K-Torze thrice, ripping parts off, and sending it flying into the air on the third hit. Now back on its wheels, K-Torze flipped Wanna Go? ripping off its entire front-right armor panel.

   K-Torze followed this up by delivering a huge hit that sent Wanna Go? flying halfway across the arena, however it recovered, and delivered a hit that sent K-Torze flying against the rails. Wanna Go? then followed this up by fipping K-Torze on its back, Wanna Go?, still on the agressive attempted another attack on the now inverted K-Torze. However this resulted in K-Torze catching the side of Wanna Go?, and ripping its tire off leaving both robots debilitated.

Now with K-Torze upside down unable to bring its weapon to bear against Wanna Go? which was now moving in circles the fight transformed into both robots gyrodancing around, and failing to connect each time until time ran out. This match was so close that it took longer than normal to decide the results, which ultimately was decided as a split decision in favor of Wanna Go?.

Now in the semi-finals, Wanna Go? next faced former Gold Medalists **Federal M.T.**,

Killabyte

**Killabyte** was a Featherweight robot built by the Robotic Death Company that competed in ROBOLympics 2004, RoboGames 2005-2007, and 2009, as well as the 2004, and 2005 RFL Nationals. It was a gray (later silver), circular robot armed with a powerful spinning shell. Killabyte did well in competition, winning the Bronze Medal on its debut, coming in second place in the 2005 Nationals, and winning the Gold Medal in 2005, and 2006.

Killabyte was retired after RoboGames 2009, and since the Featherweight class was dropped from RoboGames/ComBots after 2011, RoboGames 2009 will likely remain Killabyte's last RoboGames/ComBots appearance.

## Robot History

### ROBOLympics 2004

After recieving a bye in the first round, Killabyte's first opponent was **The Bully**. It won this match putting it in the quarterfinals where it faced **Kick-me Mo**. It won this match as well, and advanced to the semifinals where it faced **Helios**. It lost this match, and was sent to the loser's bracket finals where it faced **Sunflower**. It lost this match as well, and was eliminated from the competition.

## Robot History

**RoboGames 2016**

   **RoboGames 2018**

Troublemaker's first faced **Deep 6**. This match started with both robots spinning up. The first weapon to weapon hit ripped a chunk out of the blade of Troublemaker. A now weaponless Troublemaker would take some more hits until the robot was completly mangled and stopped moving. Troublemaker then fell to the loser's bracket where it faced **V for Victory**.

Before the match began Troublemaker had its spinning blade removed due to the unrepairable damage sustaine and would use its's spikes as its weapon. V for Victory won on a judges decision and Troublemaker was eliminated from RoboGames 2018.

**Tuka The Cat** was a Middleweight built by **Project Genesis** that competed in ROBOLympics 2004, and RoboGames 2005. It was a Black, two wheeled robot armed with a lifting wedge. Tuka The Cat did not do well in RoboGames, winning only two fights while losing four. Tuka The Cat, and the team behind it retired from the sport completely after RoboGames 2005.

## Robot History

### ROBOLympics 2004

Tuka The Cat's first fight was against **Team Nightmare**'s vertical spinning flywheel, and former multibot component, **Locust**. Tuka lost this fight and was next up against the flipper of **Botfly**. It lost this fight as well and was eliminated from ROBOLympics 2004.

### RoboGames 2005

Tuka The Cat's first fight was against the vertical bar spinner of **Terminal Velocity**. Tuka won this fight, and was next up against **Pirinah 2** it won this fight as well and was drawn up against **Angry Asp**. Tuka The Cat was no match for Matt Maxham's driving skill however, and lost this fight meaning it was now in the losers bracket against **Max Wedge**.

This was yet another bad matchup for Tuka The Cat, which lost, and was eliminated from RoboGames 2005. Project genesis retired from Robot Combat after this event, and Tuka The Cat along with them, meaning Tuka had fought its last battle.
