CuddleBunny was a 15lb robot built by Ransom Everglades Robotics which competed exclusively in the 2009 BattleBots IQ event in the High School Mini Class.
It was a box-shaped, four-wheel drive robot armed with a plow at the front and a vacuum at the bottom in order to improve its traction and pushing power. CuddleBunny was built by Kyle Awner, who joined Team HyperShock ahead of BattleBots World Championship III. CuddleBunny served as a prototype for the team's middleweight, SpiderPig.[1] According to Sean Rubin, CuddleBunny was originally set to sport unique wedges with a "secret weapon", potentially referring to its vacuum.[2]
- "CuddleBunny was supposed to be wedge. now it is going to be a plow. Who knows what decisions they have made for the 120 during spring break..."
- — Sean Rubin in a 2009 forum post[3]
CuddleBunny's fights from the 2009 event are unknown, though according to a team member's Reddit post, CuddleBunny won its first three fights, but lost its other two by forfeit after experiencing issues with its wiring.[4]
