Ringmaster

Ringmaster

Ringmaster was a heavyweight robot that competed in Series 5.0 of BattleBots. It ran on tracks and was armed with a spinning toothed ring, hence its name. It was owned by Team Think Tank, which also entered Mad Cow Bot into Robot Wars: Extreme Warriors and InTriVerter into Robotica.

Robot History

Season 5.0

In the qualifier rounds, Ringmaster fought XSNGERGY in round 1. In this fight, XSYNERGY failed to spin, so it was largely a pushing match. Eventually, Ringmaster trapped XSYNERGY against the wall and ground away and it won the fight 25-20.

Then Ringmaster defeated Terrorantula 32-13 and then Team Whyachi's Warrior in the final match of the preliminary rounds, putting them in the televised rounds against the much-favored Tazbot.

In this match, Ringmaster attacked Tazbot, but its ring wasn't doing much damage to the rear plow on Tazbot. Ringmaster delivered a small hit to Tazbot's wheel before a second hit knocked Tazbot a good distance away. Ringmaster got another good hit in before Tazbot got control and pushed Ringmaster around, Ringmaster spinning in circles all the while. Ringmaster was rammed once by Tazbot after escaping, and after this hit Tazbot stopped moving. Ringmaster went on the attack, ripping into the front of Tazbot and shearing a piece of metal off. Ringmaster hit Tazbot again, this time knocking him onto the Kkillsaws. Ringmaster took a small hit from the killsaws itself, doing no damage. Tazbot was then counted out. A post-fight analysis showed that Tazbot's batteries had died, meaning it couldn't move. Ringmaster then fought Omega-13 but lost by knockout.

Ringmaster hits Tazbot as its batteries die, which gives Ringmaster the upset victory.
