Hexy Jr. was a lightweight robot built by Team WhoopAss which competed in Seasons 4.0 and 5.0 of Comedy Central BattleBots.

It was built to be a lightweight version of the team's heavyweight, HexaDecimator. Hexy Jr. had the same weapon and a similar chassis shape as its heavyweight counterpart, and took five months to build in total. It surprised in Season 4.0 with an impressive run, winning five consecutive matches by knockout before being defeated. In Season 5.0, it once again reached the quarter-finals before losing out to Team Raptor again.

Outside BattleBots

Hexy Jr. also competed after BattleBots ended, winning RoboGames in 2004 and getting third place finishes in both 2005 and 2006.

Robot History

Season 4.0
Hexy Jr. vs. Killer Stash Hexy Jr.'s first opponent in its debut season was Killer Stash. Killer Stash drove to the center of the arena and stopped moving while Hexy Jr. drove in, flipped Killer Stash, and ended the fight. This quick KO moved Hexy Jr. into the next preliminary round against Little Piece of Hate.
Hexy Jr. vs. Little Piece of Hate Little Piece of Hate did early damage to Hexy Jr. but one huge impact caused Little Piece of Hate's spinning drum to stop. Hexy Jr. got underneath Little Piece of Hate and overturned it. This KO victory moved Hexy Jr. on to the Round of 64 against Dracolich.
Hexy Jr. vs. Dracolich Dracolich drove to the center of the arena and stopped moving. Hexy Jr. could only spin after sustaining damage from its last fight, but since it was still mobile it got the victory and advanced to meet Trilobot in the Round of 32.
Hexy Jr. vs. Trilobot In the match, Hexy Jr. got underneath Trilobot and pushed it over onto its back. Trilobot tried to self-right with its arms but one became stuck. Trilobot was counted out and Hexy Jr. advanced.
Hexy Jr. vs. Backlash Hexy Jr. then advanced to face former lightweight champion Backlash. Backlash did some early damage to Hexy Jr.'s top frame, but Hexy Jr. managed to get underneath Backlash and flipped it. Backlash could not self-right, and so it was counted out. Hexy Jr. moved on to the quarter-finals where they met Team Raptor's Carnage Raptor.
Hexy Jr. vs. Carnage Raptor Hexy Jr. flips itself onto its front by Carnage Raptor. In the match, Hexy Jr. couldn't get underneath Carnage Raptor because of its invertible shape and so it kept taking damage from Carnage Raptor's axe. Eventually, Carnage Raptor got its axe wedged underneath Hexy Jr. and it managed to topple it onto its front with the flipper jammed open so it could not self-right. This was due to a valve necessary to drive the arm downwards had been omitted to save weight. Hexy Jr. was counted out and Carnage Raptor won the fight by KO at 2:58. This meant that Hexy Jr. was eliminated from the tournament.
Lightweight Royal Rumble Hexy Jr. flips Backlash during the rumble. Hexy Jr. flips Das Bot during the rumble. Hexy Jr. flips The Crusher. Hexy Jr. also entered into the Lightweight Royal Rumble in the end of the tournament. It performed well as it overturned many robots including Backlash (again), Rambite, Tentoumushi and Das Bot. Hexy Jr. did eventually take massive damage from Ziggo in the first of two encounters, the second resulting in Hexy Jr. getting under and flipping over Ziggo but jammed the flipping arm, however it survived to the end of the fight. It was one of the three judge's picks for the crowd to vote for, but it lost out to Dr. Inferno Jr. in the end.
Season 5.0
Hexy Jr. vs. Scrap Daddy Surplus Due to being a previous quarterfinalist, Hexy Jr. was allowed to skip the preliminary rounds of Season 5.0, where it eventually fought Scrap Daddy Surplus. The teams objective in this fight was to evade the mace weapon, flip Surplus as much as possible and score points with the judges. That tactic worked very well and Hexy Jr. won the judges' decision 27-18, putting Hexy Jr. through to fight against Sallad.
Hexy Jr. vs. Sallad Hexy Jr. flips Sallad. In this fight, Sallad's lifter never seemed to be a factor as it was upside-down a fair amount of the time but Sallad did at one time push Hexy Jr. across the battlebox and into the spikes. Hexy Jr. waited patiently and got its share of flips in. With less than a minute to go in the match, Hexy Jr. stopped dead with control problems and the referees actually started to count it out. Hexy Jr. got restarted but was now very jerky when it moved. The team believed this was caused by intermittent resets due to low voltage on the IFI controller (something they corrected later by giving the radio its own power supply for the next match). Fortunately, Hexy Jr. had enough control to stutter along and keep flipping Sallad, which started smoking and it was clear that it was either damaged by being flipped or burned out motors from all the pushing. Sallad survived to the end of the match, but Hexy Jr. won the decision 32-13, putting it through to the quarter-finals again, where it fought another Team Raptor robot, Gamma Raptor.
Hexy Jr. vs. Gamma Raptor Hexy Jr. flips Gamma Raptor. Hexy Jr. got an early flip as Hexy Jr. maneuvered close and tossed Gamma Raptor into the air. It was landing upside down and for a second Team WhoopAss thought they might gain the advantage. Unfortunately, Gamma Raptor came down hard on the horn connected to its lifter, which apparently has a considerable amount of spring as it just bounced completely back on its wheels. Hexy Jr.'s air cylinder depressurized with a loud hiss just as Gamma Raptor bounced back onto its wheels, giving the illusion that Gamma Raptor had actually righted itself with compressed air. Hexy Jr. got in some flips and evaded Gamma's lifter fairly well, but it was not enough for the judges, who awarded the fight in favor of Gamma Raptor 27-18.
