It was essentially a smaller version of the team's successful superheavyweight New Cruelty a four-wheel drive robot armed with a thick pushing plow at the front. Despite the team's prior success, Bad Blood lost its only battle against Diskontent and thus never appeared on television.
Bad Blood's debut came against Diskontent. In what was predominantly a pushing match, Diskontent won on a close 24-21 judges' decision and Bad Blood was eliminated from the tournament.

Corporal Punishment vs. Unit 3000-21
Corporal Punishment rams into Unit 3000-21.
Bad Blood, now known as Corporal Punishment, went up against Unit 3000-21 in the first round. Corporal Punishment came charging and rammed Unit 3000-21. Corporal Punishment pinned Unit 3000-21 against the wall, but Unit 3000-21 escaped and attacked with its drum, though it didn't cause any damage. Unit 3000-21 backed off to get its drum up to full speed and when it did, Corporal Punishment tackled Unit 3000-21 right in the drum, making Unit 3000-21 ricochet from the attack. This also seemed to have disabled the drum since it wasn't spinning anymore. After getting its bearings, Corporal Punishment bashed Unit 3000-21 into the wall. Corporal Punishment then pushed Unit 3000-21 near the pulverizer, and upon escaping, drove itself into the pulverizer. Corporal Punishment then rammed Unit 3000-21 into the wall again, though Unit 3000-21 didn't retaliate after Corporal Punishment backed off; in fact, Unit 3000-21 wasn't moving at all and the referee began counting it out. Corporal Punishment won the match by KO and moved forward.

Megabyte stares down Corporal Punishment.
Corporal Punishment next took on Megabyte. Early on, Corporal Punishment made use of its flat front end to try and break Megabyte's shell spinner. It stopped driving momentarily, but Corporal Punishment returned to life soon after. The Team Killerbotics robot continued to charge head-on into Megabyte, which cost it its left-front wheel. After one final charge, Corporal Punishment lost its other front wheel and was unable to drive. Megabyte took the win by knockout.
Corporal Punishment vs. Final Verdict
Corporal Punishment stops moving.
Now in the loser's bracket, Corporal Punishment faced Final Verdict, operated by Rick Russ. Final Verdict took time getting up to speed and was rammed by Corporal Punishment. Despite its best attempts to spin back up, Final Verdict was unable to find room or time to achieve this. When it did, Corporal Punishment was able to get around to its back and then halt the weapon with its front plow. However, Corporal Punishment suddenly stopped moving in the middle of the arena and was counted out.
