Sublime was a lightweight robot built by Team Duct Tape which competed in Season 2.0, 3.0, and 5.0 of Comedy Central BattleBots.
It was armed with a lifting arm that would toss a robot on its back or side, as well as a grabbing claw which had to be removed in Season 5.0 due to unknown issues. It was also known by the team as a very loud robot while it was operating. Sublime did decently, winning 5 of its 8 fights, and also won the first Consolation Rumble during Season 2.0 in its second incarnation as well as reaching the television rounds in Season 5.0.
The original Sublime and Sublime 4 did not compete in BattleBots. Sublime was eventually rebuilt, with a flamethrower added, and renamed Hot Stuff. It still competes in this form today.

Sublime vs. Death By Monkeys   Death By Monkeys pushes the now smoking Sublime. In Sublime's fifth fight, Sublime was immediately rammed Death By Monkeys, but the two then avoided each other until it was rammed Death By Monkeys again. Sublime slammed into the wall while Death by Monkeys drove into the center of the arena before Sublime rammed into Death By Monkeys in an attempt to lift its opponent. The lift attempt failed and Sublime was slammed across the arena, while attempting another lift, and into the screws by Death By Monkeys. Sublime had started smoking and was pushed by the pulverizer before Death By Monkeys drove into the spikestrip. Sublime took advantage of Death By Monkeys' upward facing spikes and slammed it into the wall. Sublime drove away and got sent flying into the opposite wall by the killsaws, resulting in Sublime losing a panel. Sublime was spinning in circles after this. Sublime was caught and pushed in circles before the two was hit by the killsaws. The two avoided each other until Sublime got in and hit Death By Monkeys but Sublime was caught by the killsaws again.

The fight ended with Sublime getting pushed into the screws by Death By Monkeys. Death By Monkeys won on a 30-15 judges' decision and Sublime was eliminated from the tournament. |
