Hydro Force was a superheavyweight robot that attempted to enter Season 3.0 of Comedy Central BattleBots.
Hydro Force was going to use parts of the team's Robotica entry Ram Force.[1] Most of the design was unknown, but it was going to be upgraded with a 24" steel beak with 4 tons of crushing force. It is also known that the drive power was to be in the form of an E-Cycle motor. The team had problems during construction with this motor as it was forward-timed and had trouble be set to reverse. There was also a 10 GPM hydraulic pump that was likely to power the crushing weapon.[2]
