It struggled in its debut season of BattleBots, only winning once against Battle Royale With Cheese, and losing two other matches.įor World Championship IV, Tantrum gained some new upgrades, including but not limited to wedges at the front, and a newly-shaped body to accommodate its more potent primary weapon. Team captain Aren Hill stated this iteration of the bot took around two and a half years from concept to a finished product. Its drive was relatively unique as its custom-molded wheels also housed planetary gears for the drive motors. This allowed Tantrum to remain compact, and let the team fire its flipper instantaneously.
Known as a "choo-choo mechanism", the weapon system utilized electric motors and batteries rather than a large pneumatic system consisting of air tanks. The flipper boasted 12,800lbs at the tip, and Tantrum sported decorative fists on either side. In its debut year, Tantrum was a four-wheeled robot armored in 1/2" AR400 steel, and was equipped with a spring-powered flipping arm made from three sheets of 10mm titanium plating which doubled up as top armor. Tantrum is a heavyweight robot built by Seems Reasonable Robotics, which has competed in every season since BattleBots World Championship III.
Not to be confused with the Comedy Central Season 3.0 lightweight entry of the same name. Statistics correct as of its most recent appearance on the show, or if not applicable, qualification attempt.
