Billy-Bot was a heavyweight robot built by TrailerTrash Robotics which competed in the final two seasons of Comedy Central BattleBots. It was an arrow-shaped robot armed with an overhead spinning saw (later a spinning blade) and a front spike. It didn't perform well in competition, winning only one battle overall.
The name was likely a pun on the phrase 'Billy-Boy', which has been used in music and film.
Robot History[]
Season 4.0[] |
|---|
Billy-Bot vs. Phrizbee Billy-Bot fought Phrizbee in one of the most destructive matches of the tournament. The two bots were even at first; Billy-Bot's saw and Phrizbee's spinning teeth clashed and made a lot of noise and sparks. They kept colliding, until eventually, Phrizbee was showing a pattern of scratches and Billy-Bot's saw stopped turning. Phrizbee took the opportunity and darted in, spinning against Billy-Bot with its spinning body, causing several small hits. Billy-Bot's parts began to fly and each time Phrizbee ran into it and spun against its hull, more went spraying around the arena. Eventually, Billy-Bot was missing its rear casters, the weapon assembly, and several other pieces. Responding to the chants of the audience, Phrizbee's next hit knocked the ten-gallon hat off Billy-Bot, and by the time the match ended, Billy-Bot had more-or-less broken down. The judges scored 35-10 in favor of Phrizbee and Billy-Bot was eliminated from the tournament. |
