Trivia[]

Despite competing in World Championship VI and BattleBots: Champions, Deep Six, Dragon Slayer and Defender are notably absent from the book.
- Interestingly, retired robots and those on hiatus such as Bale Spear, Bite Force and Sharko are present.
Cobalt's page misspells team member Micah Leibowitz's name as "Micha Lebowitz", though this is how it is also misspelt on the bot's page on the BattleBots website under the 2021 season.
