Electric Lunch

Electric Lunch was a superheavyweight built by Team K.I.S.S. for the final three seasons of BattleBots, alongside Half Gassed as a replacement for their previous superheavyweight Liquid Lunch. Electric Lunch was a generic box-shaped robot with a front hinged wedge, and it won matches with its superior pushing power. Despite being one of the slower robots in the division, its motors were geared to incredibly high levels, giving the robot incredible torque. Electric Lunch reached the quarterfinals of Season 3.0 before being defeated, but winning only a single match after that. Electric Lunch was revised to be invertible for Season 5.0 after Toro flipped it during the rumble.

Electric Lunch was originally going to have a lifting arm, but it broke in testing and the motor was unable to be replaced in time for Season 3.0, so it became a simple pushing robot.
