Team DeathRoll are a team from Brisbane, Australia which have competed in numerous BattleBots World Championships with their heavyweight robot of the same name.
Their career best finish is a semi-final run in World Championship IV, where the Australian team fell only to Witch Doctor.
Team DeathRoll during World Championship VII.
The team attempted to return in the 2020 season, but were not able to due to travel restrictions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. This also forced Team DeathRoll to sit out of competing in World Championship VI, but the team were officially accepted for a year later. After three years of waiting, however, their BattleBots return was marked with a destructive loss to Cobalt. DeathRoll rebounded with wins over the returning Switchback and Mammoth, but lost to Monsoon in its final fight.
