Spatulator was a middleweight robot built by students of Miami Coral Park Sr. High School which competed in BattleBots IQ2007 and 2008 in the High School division.
It was a two-wheel drive robot armed with a pneumatic flipping arm. The chassis was constructed out of welded metal tubing like the school's other entries. It did not reach a podium finish in 2008, meaning it is a safe assumption that Spatulator lost at least twice due to the event's double elimination format.
The high school also entered Big Robot, Rev, Frantic Tap, Shuriken, and iWedge into the 2008 middleweight class along with Mini Class entry The Wedgie, though it is unknown if these were all from the same team.
Spatulator's was known to have fought against fellow Miami Coral Park Sr. High School entry Big Robot.[1] Throughout the fight, Big Robot's weapon struggled for reach against Spatulator, who in return could not capitalize on opportunities to flip the Miami entry over. At around the midway point, Big Robot's weapon tore into armor on Spatulator, which hung off the back. Though Spatulator was able to drive Big Robot under the pulverizer late on, Big Robot shoved back and carved into Spatulator's front armor in the closing stages and seemingly immobilized it. Spatulator survived to a judges' decision, but the winner is not known.
