Code:BLACK was a lightweight robot built by Adam Baxter of Team LOGICOM for Season 5.0 of Comedy Central BattleBots.

Based on Baxter's earlier middleweight Chopper, it was a two-wheel drive, invertible robot armed with an undercutting spinning bar. Code:BLACK achieved major success in its only season, reaching the semi-finals of the lightweight division and defeating Ziggo in an upset along the way.

Code:BLACK's name is a reference to the medical term 'code black', in which the patient is either dead or beyond recovery.
