Knome was a lightweight robot built by Team Duct Tape which competed in the Long Beach 1999 event of Comedy Central BattleBots. It was armed with a static thwacking axe and a rear pickaxe. It didn't perform well in competition, losing both its matches.
Knome was retired and was replaced with heavyweight entrant Knome II for Season 1.0 which also had no success.
Knome was supposed to be spelled Gnome, but builder Jerome Miles misspelled it and didn't know until it was too late. He later carried the misspelling over to Knome II.
