Village Idiot was a middleweight robot that competed in Season 3.0 and Season 4.0 of Comedy Central BattleBots. It was a wedged robot armed with dual saw blades. It performed well in competition, reaching the Round of 16 in Season 3.0 and the Round of 32 in Season 4.0.
Village Idiot was set to be completely rebuilt for Season 6.0, with two large toothed discs replacing the saws, alongside a heavyweight robot named Magnum VI. Unfortunately, BattleBots was cancelled after Season 5.0, but the upgraded Village Idiot still competed in Team Toad's Robot Conflict series.
