DooAll was a superheavyweight robot which competed in the first three televised seasons of Comedy Central's BattleBots, as well as the preceding 1999 Las Vegas event. Dooall also made an appearance at USA robot wars 1997 doing well only losing to La Machine.
DooAll was a tracked robot with two pods making up the tracks, similar in appearance to Ronin. In the center of the pods was a metal box that could move up and down as well as a hinged wedge. In this box was a ram powered by CO2. For Season 3.0, this was replaced with a high-velocity claw powered by the same ram. DooAll achieved some great success in BattleBots, reaching the Season 1.0 final, but losing to Minion.
Outside BattleBots[]
Builder Scott LaValley had prior experience competing in the original US Robot Wars competitions from 1994 to 1997, initially with the heavyweights DooLittle (1994) and DooMore (1995-1996). Both were succeeded in 1997 by an earlier incarnation of DooAll, also competing in the heavyweight class and initially armed with a set of cutting discs on a swinging assembly.[1] After suffering extensive damage in its first-ever match - a Face-Off duel with Kill-O-Amp[2][3] - DooAll recovered with four consecutive wins in the Loser's Bracket, swapping to a more durable and effective ramming plow in the process. Upon defeating Tazbot,[4][5] it returned to the main bracket for the Semi-Finals, where it was ultimately eliminated by La Machine.[6][7] DooAll also qualified for the finals of the Heavyweight Melee tournament, which it lost outright to BioHazard.[8][9]
In February 1999, DooAll was among the robots to be present in the unofficial Underground Robotics Street Fight at Marin County, California. Reverting to its cutting disc weapon, it is known to have fought at least one exhibition battle against La Machine.[10]
Robot History[]
Las Vegas 1999[] |
---|
DooAll vs. World Peace (Forfeit) DooAll was scheduled first to fight World Peace, but DooAll had technical issues and was forced to forfeit. World Peace won by default and DooAll was eliminated from the tournament. These issues also prevented DooAll from competing in the superheavyweight rumble at the end of the tournament. |
Season 1.0[] |
DooAll vs. S.L.A.M. DooAll's first match in Season 1.0 was against S.L.A.M. As S.L.A.M. started spinning its shell, DooAll was moving slowly out of its starting square. DooAll lowered its rear wedge and collided into S.L.A.M. S.L.A.M. stopped spinning and both robots were almost caught on the killsaws. S.L.A.M. moved to the corner of the arena and DooAll started pushing it against the spikestrip. DooAll then pushed S.L.A.M. against the spikestrip and S.L.A.M.'s spinning shell stopped moving. S.L.A.M appeared to be experiencing control problems from here on. DooAll was lifted slightly by the hellraisers but started pushing S.L.A.M. with its pneumatic ram. DooAll backed up again and kept pushing S.L.A.M. against the spikestrip. As S.L.A.M. was still struggling to drive, DooAll backed up once more and raised its rear wedge and pneumatic ram. Now it was DooAll's turn to have issues with its control as it drove into the barrier on several occasions. DooAll was barely moving but S.L.A.M. was already being counted out. DooAll won by KO at 2:51 and advanced to the superheavyweight quarter-finals. |
DooAll vs. Rhino DooAll moved onto the final eight, where it met Rhino. This match was close, but DooAll won on a 5-4 judges' decision and advanced to the semi-finals. |
DooAll vs. Ronin In the last four, DooAll fought Peter Abrahamson's Ronin. Both robots were moving out of their starting squares and collides into each other. DooAll backs up and Ronin stopped moving for a second due to radio interference. DooAll charged into the front of Ronin and backed up again. DooAll eventually pushed Ronin to the killsaws. Ronin started moving again and DooAll went straight at Ronin once more. As this was happening, Ronin's static spikes were being damaged by the killsaws. DooAll charged at Ronin again, but Ronin was suddenly struggling to move. Ronin slightly lurched forward as it was being counted out. Ronin began moving again, but it had already been counted out and DooAll won by KO at 1:46. |
DooAll vs. Minion In the title decider, DooAll met Minion. Before the match, DooAll added an imitation saw on the wedge to intimidate Minion, who had already lost its own saw against Gray Matter. However, the team was forced to take off the top and bottom plates that protected the insides that power the pneumatic ramrod, quite possibly because it may have been overweight when they added the saw. When the fight began, Minion immediately got underneath DooAll multiple times and eventually lost the attached saw blade. With its pneumatic weapon not working at all, DooAll was pushed around into the walls and traps with great ease by Minion. After DooAll was pushed into the killsaws one final time, the match went to the judges, who gave Minion its second championship win on a dominant 9-0 judges' decision. DooAll therefore finished runner-up.Despite reaching the superheavyweight finals, DooAll didn't participate the Superheavyweight Royal Rumble at the end of the tournament, quite possibly because of the damage they sustained against Minion. |
Season 2.0[] |
DooAll vs. Doom of Babylon DooAll fought Doom of Babylon in its first fight in Season 2.0. The two bots drove toward each other with DooAll having trouble driving due to the fact its front scoops keep being swept under the tracks. Doom of Babylon used this clear advantage and DooAll was pushed into the wall. The two robots separated and DooAll still had problems with its scoops, it was pushed by Doom of Babylon as much as possible. DooAll managed to get a good hit in with its pneumatic ram before slamming Doom of Babylon from the side, firing its ram again. The time ran out and DooAll won on a close 24-21 judges' decision. This win put DooAll to the quarter-finals. |
DooAll vs. War Machine Again in the final eight, DooAll met War Machine. As the fight began, War Machine lined up and attacked DooAll head on with its wedge. DooAll drove over War Machine's front and began moving around the arena. War Machine then started pushing DooAll from the side, eventually taking it to the killsaws. DooAll returned the favor, pushing War Machine to another set of killsaws. War Machine shoved DooAll against the arena wall and later onto the killsaws again. DooAll missed with its pneumatic ram in an attempt to shove War Machine away, but it instead slammed into DooAll. Both robots attempted to push one another before time ran out, and War Machine won on a 38-7 judges' decision. DooAll was therefore eliminated from the tournament at the quarter-final stage.

Season 3.0[] |
DooAll vs. Anubis Due to its seeding, DooAll was allowed to skip the preliminary rounds of Season 3.0, where it eventually faced Anubis. At one point when Anubis scooped up DooAll and it got hit by the killsaws. Anubis won on a close 24-21 judges' decision and DooAll was eliminated from the tournament for the last time. |
Superheavyweight Consolation Rumble DooAll also participated the Superheavyweight Consolation Rumble at the end of the tournament. It is unknown how well it performed, but it lost overall to Half Gassed and Whyachi. After this, DooAll was officially retired. |
