Buzzkill was a beetleweight robot built by VBT Robotics that competed at the 2004 NPC Charity Open. It was a four wheeled, invertible, Lexan clad robot that was armed with a powerful pneumatic flipping wedge. Buzzkill also had a lot of CO2 capacity for a bot of its size, able to get up to 50 flips in per fight.

Buzzkill did very well in the competition, going undefeated until the final when it lost to One Fierce Upper-Cut. Buzzkill also competed at the Lazy Toad Robot Club and Grille 303, and 304, where it won the 303 event. Buzzkill was retired after the NPC Charity Open. VBT Robotics also entered Antweight: Arsenic, and Hobbyweight: VBT12 into the same event, all of which did very well.
