Death By Monkeys' Season 5.0 appearance

Death By Monkeys was a lightweight robot that competed in the final three seasons of BattleBots. It was a black 4-wheel drive robot armed with four red spikes (For Season 5.0 these spikes could be used as a lifter). Death By Monkeys was a very successful robot, reaching the semifinals of Season 4.0 and the quarterfinals of Season 5.0.

Team Death By Monkeys also built the heavyweight Silverback.

Death By Monkeys comes out of retirement every so often to compete, last fighting at RoboGames 2011. And was registered to fight in Robogames 2017 but, did not compete as the team couldn't get the robot ready in time.

This impact got both on the killsaws, leaving a shower of sparks. Sisyphus suddenly stopped moving and Death By Monkeys pushed it onto the killsaws again. As Sisyphus was being counted out, Death By Monkeys was trying to push Sisyphus towards the pulverizer, but wasn't able to do so.

The lift attempt failed and Death By Monkeys retaliated by slamming Sublime across the arena, which attempted another lift, and into the screws. Sublime was smoking now and Death By Monkeys pushed Sublime by the pulverizer before driving into the spike strip. Death By Monkeys' spikes was now stuck pointing up and Sublime took advantage by slamming it into the wall. Sublime drove away and was then sent flying into the opposite wall by the killsaws, resulting in Sublime losing a panel. Death By Monkeys caught and pushed Sublime in circles before the two was hit by the killsaws. The two avoided each other until Sublime managed to hit Death By Monkeys but it was Death By Monkeys that had the last laugh after Sublime was caught by the killsaws again. Death By Monkeys was struck by the spinning Sublime before getting into a pushing match with Sublime, the lifting spikes lowering after the two separated. The now lowered spikes got under Sublime and pushed it sideways, causing it to start smoking again. The two bots clashed head on with Death By Monkeys shoving Sublime into the killsaws again. The fight ended with Death By Monkeys pushing Sublime into the screws. Death By Monkeys won on a 30-15 judge's decision and advanced to the round of 16, where it faced Carnage.
