Half Gassed was a superheavyweight robot built by Team K.I.S.S. which competed in three seasons of Comedy Central BattleBots.
It was a purple box-shaped robot which was originally armed with a ramming scoop, before it was replaced with a horizontal spinning disk. Half Gassed reaching the Round of 32 and won the Consolation Rumble in its debut season, but otherwise lost both of its competition fights in the following two competitions. Its name was a pun on the adjective 'half-assed', meaning to do something without care or thought, as well as referencing its method of power.
