As its name suggests, it was an upscaled version of the team's Mini Class entry Fluffy. The robot was a low-profile, four-wheel drive design sporting a wide drum spinner at the front.
The team behind Fluffy DeLarge were led by Will Bales, who also competed with El Cholo and a number of other robots in past competitions. He would later build fan favorite heavyweight HyperShock ahead of the first season of ABC'sBattleBots, and has competed with it ever since, alongside teammates Kyle Awner, Tyler Bond and Alex Mattaway.
According to Kyle Awner, much of Fluffy DeLarge was scrapped after the competition.[1]
Please note that the order of the following fights is unknown, as documentation on the event itself is either limited or non-existent. This is typically true of untelevised events such as BattleBots IQ and those sanctioned by the BattleBots name.
