None Shall Pass was a lightweight robot which competed in Season 4.0 of Comedy Central BattleBots. It was a silver four-wheeled robot armed with a horizontal spinning blade. It didn't perform well in competition, losing its first match against Jo Mama.
The robot's name was inspired by the Black Knight- a character from the 1975 movie Monty Python and the Holy Grail. The character let no man cross a bridge that he was defending- or "None Shall Pass", as he put it, giving the robot its name. To further complete the reference, it also featured an image of the Black Knight on the bottom of the chassis, depicting him after having all his limbs cut off in his famous swordfight against King Arthur.

Season 4.0[]
None Shall Pass's first fight was against Jo Mama. Jo Mama got under None and shoved it around quite easily, not taking any damage from the blades. Eventually the low-powered blade broke, and Jo Mama slammed the weaponless None Shall Pass into the spikes. Jo Mama got stuck under the spikes, but None Shall Pass knocked it free. This act of sportsmanship allowed Jo Mama to continue and win a 33-11 decision.
