Bumper was a middleweight robot built by Tilt-Con which competed in the final two seasons of Comedy Central BattleBots. It was a silver full-body spinner with two teeth. It didn't perform well in competition, losing its first match in both seasons it competed in. Bumper would later compete under the name Speed Bump, doing somewhat successfully with a 5-4 record. Team Impact would also compete on Battlebots with Lightweight The Cast-Iron Pig.
Robot History[]
Tilt-Con with Bumper at Season 4.0
Season 4.0[]
Bumper's first and only match was against Misty the WonderBot. Bumper never got up to high speed in the entire match. Misty kept banging it with her weapon, and pushed it up against a wall. Misty did have a little trouble bringing its weapon to bear though, because as it was tilted to keep from gyroscopically interfering with her steering, it became difficult to position for a hit. In the end, Misty won on a 32-13 judges' decision and Bumper was eliminated from the tournament.
Season 5.0[]
Bumper's first and only match was against Why Not. Why Not won by KO and Bumper was eliminated from the tournament again.
