Eraser was a middleweight robot built by the Pencil Neck Geeks which fought during Seasons 3.0 and 4.0 of Comedy Central BattleBots.

It was originally a two-wheel drive, invertible robot whose shape and color was inspired by a common eraser, which also gave it its name. For Season 3.0, Eraser was armored in ³⁄₁₆" thick Lexan and was built in the space of three months. Eraser's primary weapon was a front-mounted lifting spike, similar to that of Vladiator. Eraser reached the quarter-finals of Season 3.0 before losing out to Little Drummer Boy.

Returning for Season 4.0, Eraser was now four-wheel drive and sported a spinning drum. Its ³⁄₁₆" Lexan armor was coupled with a ³⁄₄₀" titanium sheet for extra protection. Despite its upgrades, Eraser lost its first match in Season 4.0 to Psychotron.

Eraser was also registered for Season 5.0, but it had technical issues and forfeited.

In the loser's bracket, Eraser fought Who's Your Daddy Now? and lost, meaning it was eliminated from the tournament.

Robot History

Season 3.0
Eraser vs. Rebob Eraser first fought Rebob in the preliminary rounds. Rebob 'self-destructed', allowing Eraser to advance by knockout.
Eraser vs. B.E.H.EMOTH This advanced Eraser to the second preliminary round where it fought B.E.H.EMOTH. Eraser was very aggressive, using the lifting spike as well, and it won the fight on a 28-17 judges' decision.
Eraser vs. Horrifica Horrifica was the next opponent for Eraser, but during the match Horrifica's master power switch fell off and Eraser won by another knockout at 1:04.
Eraser vs. Buddy Lee Stay in Your Seat This win put Eraser to the TV rounds, where it faced Buddy Lee Stay in Your Seat. After driving over the killsaws, Eraser hit Buddy Lee a few times before Buddy Lee got stuck in a corner and its drive train burnt out. Eraser won by KO at 1:26 and advanced to the Round of 16.
Eraser vs. Village Idiot Eraser gets caught on the killsaws while fighting Village Idiot. In the Round of 16, Eraser fought Village Idiot. At the beginning of the match, Eraser drove itself on the killsaws. After this, Eraser kept Village Idiot from hitting it with its saw blades and it eventually fried its batteries and stopped moving, so Eraser claimed another knockout win.
Eraser vs. Little Drummer Boy Eraser gets pummeled by Little Drummer Boy. Now in the quarter-finals, Eraser took on Little Drummer Boy. Eraser was unable to do anything to Little Drummer Boy as it took hit after hit from its drum. Eventually the robot stopped moving altogether and was knocked out at 1:36. The lifting spike mechanism was irreparable due to the damage caused by Little Drummer Boy. This loss meant that Eraser was eliminated from the tournament.
Middleweight Royal Rumble Eraser was repaired in time for the Middleweight Royal Rumble, where it was eventually hung up on the spikestrip after fighting aggressively. In the end, T-Minus was declared the winner of the Middleweight Royal Rumble and Eraser lost overall.
Season 4.0
Eraser vs. Psychotron Eraser hits Psychotron with its spinning drum. Psychotron pushes Eraser toward the screws. Due to being a previous quarter-finalist, Eraser was allowed to skip the preliminary rounds of Season 4.0, where it eventually fought Psychotron. Eraser used its new drum to effect, almost ripping off Psychotron's wheels and scratching the front of the robot. However, Psychotron was able to use its wedge to drive Eraser around the BattleBox. Eraser kept getting caught on the killsaws and Psychotron continued pushing Eraser. Psychotron then bumps into the base of the screws and drove itself under the pulverizer, where it managed to escape in time before the pulverizer landed a blow. Eraser got its lifting spike stuck on the ramrods and Psychotron set it free. After more pushing from Psychotron, Eraser went rear first at the front of Psychotron and nearly drives over it. Eraser started hitting Psychotron with its spinning drum again, which managed to raise Psychotron's lifting arm for a brief moment, and Psychotron pushed Eraser toward the screws. At the end of the fight, Eraser threw a drive chain, which immobilized half of its drive. Even with this handicap, Eraser was very aggressive but Psychotron won on a 27-18 judges' decision, eliminating Eraser.
Middleweight Consolation Rumble Eraser was repaired in time for the Middleweight Consolation Rumble, fighting aggressively but eventually getting a drive chain severed by Sunshine Lollibot. It also took some damage from Blade Runner, but it survived the entire fight, one of three others. However, Malvolio and T-Wrex were declared the winners of the Middleweight Consolation Rumble and Eraser lost overall.
