OUR COMPETITORS
Our Group D weekend features an exciting range of new opponents for us. While we're the only bot in our group with World Championship experience, all three of our opponents have been ramping up their battle resumes for next season. They may be new to the BattleBots screen, but this group promises a weekend full of challenging, heavy-hitting matchups!
TACO TUESDAY
Taco Tuesday is a powerful vertical spinner with a unique drive system. It has competed in 4 BattleBots Proving Grounds matchups, so don't let its taco theme fool you - we're expecting a fierce competitor. We love the taco-inspired look, with it's geometry doubling as a self-righting device!
MAGNITUDE
Described by Team Captain Chad New as "HyperShock meets Riptide with things that we have learned from Copperhead." It's quick drive train and eggbeater design promise to deliver a heavy-hitting match!
Magnitude has 4 BattleBots Proving Grounds matchups against HyperShock and Taco Tuesday. Magnitude also won the Bronze Medal at RoboGames 2024, winning against Puck, Ragin Scotsman, and Ray Billings' Stink Eye. Get ready to see some sparks fly!
DOOM
With 8 BattleBots Proving Grounds on its record, this "rookie" already has as much experience as some veterans. It has shared the BattleBox with the likes of Horizon, Gigabyte, and Slammo. It's large overhead hammer saw means well have to beef up our ribcage armor for this matchup!
