Ronin's Season 1.0 and 2.0 appearance.
Ronin was a superheavyweight (originally a heavyweight) built by Peter Abrahamson that competed in all 7 BattleBots competitions. It did averagely in all of them, on 4 occasions making it to the televised rounds. Ronin was a tracked robot that had evolved out of a failed heavyweight, Gigan II, built for Robot Wars 97 in San Francisco. Ronin had a modular weapon system, copied from The Master, Peter's teamate Mark Setrakian's robot. The first weapon was an electricly actuated lifting blade, but it was ineffective. From Season 1.0 to 3.0, Ronin's weapon was a vertical saw, but lacked sufficient torque to really cut through any armor. From Season 4.0 onwards, it was replaced by a horizontal flywheel that was slightly better but still not enough to advance it beyond the round of 16. Ronin's best result was in Season 1.0, where it advanced to the semifinals and lost against DooAll.
Ronin is a word describing a samurai who has no master.
