401(k) was a lightweight robot built by David Whitaker that competed at Season 4.0 of Comedy Central BattleBots.
It was a translucent robot shielded by a large elastomer tire, designed to shield it from impacts, and armed with a small spike in front. It didn't perform well in BattleBots, losing its only match.
Robot History[]
Season 4.0[]
401(k) being pushed by Ramming Speed.
401(k)'s only battle was against Ramming Speed. 401(k) could only move in circles at the beginning of this battle, so Ramming Speed drove over and shoved 401(k) into the spike strip. 401(k) regained control after this and the match became a pushing match where Ramming Speed had a slight advantage. Eventually time ran out and 401(k) lost a 31-14 judges' decision, eliminating it from the tournament.
