MantaRay

MantaRay was a superheavyweight robot bult by Team Think Tank that competed in Seasons 3.0 and 4.0 of BattleBots. It was originally a robot shaped like a manta ray armed with two spinning flywheels. It appeared to be able to lower the top armor and impale with the spike as well. This version lost its first battle, so it was rebuilt as an invertible, four wheeled machine with no active weaponry. This robot also lost its first fight.

Season 3.0

MantaRay's first ever fight was against Phere. Phere immedietly got its spinning wedged dome underneath MantaRay and ripped the weapon chain off of MantaRay. Phere's dome wasn't spinning fast enough to do any further damage, but MantaRay stopped moving and was counted out.

Season 4.0

MantaRay's only fight in 4.0 was against Fantom Thrust. Fantom Thrust went dead for a while at the start, but then began to move again. Manta Ray appeared to slow down as the match progressed, allowing Fantom Thrust to get a couple of hits. While the treadbot didn't have the speed for a good ramming attack, and its spear weapon was not effective, it scored points anyway. In the end it was enough for Fantom Thrust to win, 27-18. MantaRay was out of the tournament again.
