Witch Doctor is a robot which competed in every season of the BattleBots reboot. It was built by Busted Nuts Robotics, who created the original middleweight Witch Doctor and rebranded with a self-titled team name.
Witch Doctor featured a vertical disc with front wedges which could be replaced with a large steel plow to combat spinners. However, it was not alone in combat, being accompanied by a 30lb "minibot" named Shaman in early seasons of the show.
Shaman was a wedge robot designed to get behind the opponent and distract their drivers so Witch Doctor could go in for the kill. Shaman was not unarmed, as it was also equipped with a flamethrower to toast the underside of opponents it can get underneath.
For ABC Season 2, Witch Doctor was completely redesigned with a new double-sided spinning disc and a self-righting mechanism. Shaman also got redesigned with two flamethrowers instead of one, using green fire instead of the traditional colors. It started well, but eventually lost out in a surprise defeat to Red Devil.
For Discovery Season 3, Witch Doctor was again redesigned, with the discs now having two teeth instead of one. It also featured tougher top armor and a more robust self-righter. However, Shaman was removed in order to save weight for the upgrades to Witch Doctor. This proved to be effective as they made the Top 16 before bowing out to eventual runner-up Minotaur.
Witch Doctor returned for Discovery Season 4 with an updated design including its Season 2 styled drum with bigger teeth, custom rubber tires, and a revamped paint with light cracks on the rib cage. Although Shaman still remained absent, the team made a little purple bit on the self-righting arm under their new flamethrower, paying homage to on the crowd favorite minibot. This version of Witch Doctor proved to be the most successful to date, defeating all of its opponents before falling just short in the Championship fight to Bite Force.
Witch Doctor came back for Discovery Season 5 and appeared largely unchanged. Like Bombshell and Minotaur, Witch Doctor had a very rough run as last season's runner-up, going 1-2 in the qualifying rounds (losing to Hydra and Kraken due to the discs breaking) but still made it into the Championship Tournament where it defeated Skorpios in the Round of 32 before losing a rematch to SawBlaze in the Round of 16. Witch Doctor redeemed itself for failing to make it to the Championship Finals again by being the second Legend to defend their Bounty by defeating its respective Bounty Hunter bracket winner of SubZero to earn a portion of the $25,000 prize.
For Discovery Season 6, the team have stated that Witch Doctor has been redesigned from the ground up while still retaining the look it has been known for since Discovery Season 3. Upgrades include but were not limited to an improved weapon motor assembly, the weapon belts repositioned on the outside of the discs, a new component called "bunny ears" that allows Witch Doctor to drive better and keep the weapon spinning while upside down, a longer wheel base that should make it harder to flip over Witch Doctor, and a modified self-righting mechanism that can now travel at almost 180 degrees. Witch Doctor's weapon is made from AR500 steel to prevent the discs from breaking, which cost Witch Doctor in two of its fights last season.
The Witch Doctor team developed a YouTube series called Witch Doctor Junior, an educational program showcasing how to build and maintain combat robots on a smaller scale, and looks to encourage young people into the world of engineering.[1] Andrea Gellatly also published a BattleBots-themed alphabet book, called B is for BattleBots, with illustration from Caleb Kempson. Proceeds went towards supporting the Witch Doctor Junior program.
Andrea and Mike Gellatly co-host Tale of the Tape After Show alongside HyperShock's Will Bales, discussing each episode after it airs and often bringing roboteers onto the show as special guests.

Robot History
ABC Season 1 |
|---|
Witch Doctor vs. Bronco   Witch Doctor gets flipped by Bronco. Witch Doctor's first match was against Bronco. Right off the bat, Bronco got off to a quick start scoring a flip on Witch Doctor, but it quickly righted itself. Shaman then got underneath Bronco and began using its flamethrower. Bronco used its flipper to escape but then drove itself into the wall, where its flipper got stuck underneath. While they could've waited for the bot to be counted out by the referee, they instead used this opportunity to strike. Shaman sprayed fire on Bronco just as Witch Doctor struck it with its blade. This proved to be fatal, as Bronco was set free and quickly flipped Witch Doctor again, shoving onto the screws just when it righted itself, and was stuck on the wall with no means of getting off. Left out of the TV broadcast was a miscommunication whereby a rule was passed to Witch Doctor's team that allowed them back into the fight if they had been on top of the arena barrier. However, when Trey and one of Team Witch Doctor's team members went into the arena to free Witch Doctor, they were told that the rule only applied if the robot was caught on top of the screws within the first minute. After three takes of resetting the clock to before the timeout, the match resumed but with the main robot out, Shaman was unable to keep the match going and the multibot was counted out. The game wasn't over however, as Witch Doctor & Shaman were awarded one of 4 wildcards, allowing them to advance to the Round of 16, where they faced OverDrive. |
Witch Doctor vs. OverDrive   Witch Doctor hits the left side of OverDrive. With a second chance at redemption, they were eager to take out their opponent as quick as possible. OverDrive charged at them head-on, slamming into Shaman before getting a hit on Witch Doctor. After a brief game of cat-and-mouse, OverDrive ran into the wall, allowing Witch Doctor to strike. After another chase, Witch Doctor hit OverDrive again, and then a third hit flipped OverDrive upside-down. Struggling to right-itself, OverDrive ran itself into the wall. Witch Doctor struck it again, flipping over but taking out one of its wheels. With the loss of its mobility, OverDrive was rendered useless and Witch Doctor easily took the win by knock-out. This win allowed them to advance into the quarter-finals, where they faced Tombstone. |
Witch Doctor vs. Tombstone   Witch Doctor hits Tombstone.   Witch Doctor and Tombstone collide. |
Witch Doctor vs. Nightmare vs. Overhaul   Witch Doctor gets lifted by Overhaul during the rumble. Witch Doctor & Shaman weren't finished, however, as they went up against Nightmare and Overhaul in a three bot rumble at the end of the tournament. They started off okay at first, with Shaman spewing fire at the opponents. But Overhaul managed to lift Witch Doctor onto its wedge plate where it was helpless, Shaman tried to help Witch Doctor get back on its wheels but never succeeded, while Overhaul and Nightmare completely ignored them for the rest of the rumble. In the end Nightmare triumphed after disabling Overhaul and Witch Doctor lost. |
ABC Season 2 |
Witch Doctor vs. Rotator   Witch Doctor rips off one of Rotator's wheels. Witch Doctor's first match in Season 2 was against newcomer Rotator. Shaman was omitted in this match to free up weight for the attachable front plow and the team replaced the front tires with two from HyperShock's team as their robot's scoop was scraping the ground during testing. In the beginning, both robots started spinning their weapons but due to Rotator's wheel rims not properly gripping its tires, Rotator approached slowly. Witch Doctor gave Rotator a small hit from its spinning disc. After another small hit from its spinning drum, Witch Doctor went straight at the left side of Rotator and ripped a tire off. Rotator couldn't move properly and Witch Doctor moves to the center of the BattleBox. Rotator could only move in circles and was counted out and Witch Doctor won the match by a quick KO at 27 seconds (the fastest KO of the season). This win put Witch Doctor to the Round of 32 with a No.3 seeding, where it faced the No.30 seed Red Devil. |
Witch Doctor vs. Red Devil For this battle, Witch Doctor underestimated Red Devil, who had come off a close win against walker bot Wrecks. It had its front plow removed, allowing Shaman to participate. However, this proved to be a costly mistake as Red Devil was able to grab hold of Witch Doctor just beside the drum and use its saw whilst dragging Witch Doctor to the pulverizer.  Red Devil grabs a hold of Witch Doctor as Shaman shoots fire in front of them. |

Witch Doctor vs. Yeti   Witch Doctor and Yeti collide.   Witch Doctor tosses Yeti into the air.   The immobilized Witch Doctor is pushed under the pulverizer. |
Witch Doctor vs. Blacksmith   Witch Doctor peels back Blacksmith's armor.   Witch Doctor trapped in the screw. |
Witch Doctor vs. Ultimo Destructo Up next for Witch Doctor was Ultimo Destructo. In response, With Doctor removed the lip on the front of the scoop to have the weapon be Ultimo Destructo's first point of contact. The match was off to a great start for Witch Doctor as they evaded Ultimo's flipper and got underneath to cause damage. After another hit or two, it became clear that Ultimo couldn't move anymore as they'd lost wheels and their entire chassis had been jarred loose. Ultimo Destructo was counted out, giving Witch Doctor the win by KO. |
Witch Doctor vs. Overhaul Witch Doctor was then drawn against Overhaul, an old foe that flipped Witch Doctor over and rendered it immobile in the post-tournament rumble of 2015. If Witch Doctor was too enter the top 16 bracket, it would need to surpass Overhaul, but unlike last time, this time Witch Doctor had means of self-righting. The match began and was underway, with both bots launching themselves at each other. Overhaul's lifter made contact with Witch Doctor's frontal wedge and attempted to lift it, but it was unsuccessful. Witch Doctor instantly gave chase to Overhaul, but there was a sudden jolt as a Hell raiser jutted out from the BattleBox and desisted Witch Doctor, giving Overhaul an opening and allowing it to close in on Witch Doctor. But once again, Overhaul couldn't lift Witch Doctor. Witch Doctor, on the aggressive side, maneuvered to the right-hand side of Overhaul. Without warning, shrapnel was sent tumbling throughout the field as the armor of Overhaul   Witch Doctor dismembers Overhaul's right-armor plating. was ripped of from its hinges. Witch Doctor had been quick to already dismantle Overhaul, who was on its side, flipped onto its back, and slammed onto the screws. Overhaul quickly self-righted, but was almost instantly on its back again, before self-righting again. Overhaul was weakened, but nevertheless, it pressed on while Witch Doctor's drum spinner continued to spin with increasing power. Overhaul kept its distance, but couldn't keep Witch Doctor at bay forever. Soon enough, sparks began to fly, as Overhaul was thrown through the air, before being shoved around the arena by its relentless opponent. Overhaul was then left motionless   Witch Doctor lands a blow to the underbelly of Overhaul. |
Witch Doctor vs. Minotaur In response, Witch Doctor opted to use the front plate that lacked the lip so that the weapon would be Minotaur's first point of contact. When the match began, things weren't off to a good start as Witch Doctor suffered drive issues almost immediately. As the match progressed, Witch Doctor lost the wheel that gave it drive issues and was able to continue fighting properly. However, when they next collided with Minotaur, they lost the other front wheel but still had a good deal of mobility left and a working weapon. Witch Doctor was then attacked by Minotaur and shoved into the corner where they lost one of the rear tires. After losing the final tire and getting flipped, Witch Doctor self-righted and caught fire. With all their wheels gone, Witch Doctor was counted out, eliminating them from the tournament. |
Discovery Season 4 |
Witch Doctor vs. Shatter! With Doctor's first match of 2019 was against newcomer Shatter!. In response, Witch Doctor added more armor under the rib-cage to hopefully prevent or minimize damage from Shatter's weapon. When the match began, Witch Doctor was doing well, tearing off chunks of Shatter's armor, including full armor plates. As the match progressed, Witch Doctor took advantage of Shatter's missed weapon attack and tore off Shatter's weapon head. Shatter! was still not giving up and proceeded to take punishment. However, Witch Doctor started to lose drive on one side and eventually its weapon. Making matters worse, as Witch Doctor pressed on, the smoke turned to fire and Witch Doctor seemed like it was going to get knocked out. With 10 seconds left, Witch Doctor managed to get some mobility left and the fight went the distance. The judges awarded a unanimous 3-0 decision to Witch Doctor. |
Witch Doctor vs. Captain Shrederator   Captain Shrederator gets kicked into the air by Witch Doctor. Next for Witch Doctor was a match against Brian Nave and Captain Shrederator. For this fight, Witch Doctor removed their flame thrower to beef up their defenses against Captain Shrederator. When the match got underway, Witch Doctor took hits from Captain Shrederator but also sent Captain Shrederator flying into each side of the arena. Captain Shrederator began to have balance issues so Witch Doctor went in again, sending Captain Shrederator flying once more. Captain Shrederator stayed upright, but its weapon was slow to get going again. This allowed Witch Doctor to hit it near the screws and flip it over. With Captain Shrederator unable to do anything else but spin its body, Witch Doctor took it to the pulverizer before Captain Shrederator was counted out, giving Witch Doctor the win by KO. |
Witch Doctor vs. Whiplash Witch Doctor was then placed against former semifinalist, Matt Vasquez and Whiplash. Witch Doctor opted to use their flat front plates so that the weapon would be the first point of contact. This proved to work well as Witch Doctor began throwing Whiplash through the air multiple times, bending the left front plate of Whiplash in the process. Witch Doctor continued to attack, causing Whiplash to lose its right front tire. Witch Doctor then got Whiplash onto the screws where Whiplash was briefly stuck. Once Whiplash got down, Witch Doctor pushed it into the other set of screws on that side of the arena, but Whiplash escaped again. Witch Doctor was then flipped over, but quickly self-righted before Whiplash could take advantage. Witch Doctor managed to take out the spinner on Whiplash's lifting arm before being lifted into the air, causing Whiplash to lose the chain to its lifting arm too. Witch Doctor soon had smoke pouring out and was forced to spin down its weapon. This resulted in a pushing match that somewhat favored Witch Doctor, but time ran out soon after. The judges awarded Witch Doctor a unanimous 3-0 decision. |
Witch Doctor vs. Gigabyte   Witch Doctor sends Gigabyte flying. Witch Doctor looked to continue their winning streak by taking on Gigabyte. Witch Doctor started the fight by quickly reaching Gigabyte and throwing them into the air. Witch Doctor stayed on its opponent, tossing them over repeatedly but Gigabyte was equally quick to right itself. After about nine of these powerful hits, Witch Doctor's drum shutdown, but it was clear Gigabyte's weapon wasn't working from the big tear on one side and the huge impacts. It became a pushing match, but Witch Doctor was able to push Gigabyte under the pulverizer, removing the hazard's protective cover in the process. Gigabyte had also lost a wheel during this final exchange and was counted out, giving Witch Doctor the win by KO and was the second bot to go unbeaten. |
Witch Doctor vs. Blacksmith With their recent success over Gigabyte, Witch Doctor was now in the Top 16 as the No.2 seed. Their first match in the regular format was a rematch with Al Kindle and the No.15 seed, Blacksmith. Witch Doctor had swapped out a weapon motor for one that could take the required power needed and thus not smoke. The match was going well for Witch Doctor as they were throwing Blacksmith through the air repeatedly but Blacksmith was able to take the punishment without taking much damage in return. Witch Doctor continued to control the fight, eventually getting Blacksmith up on the screws but Blacksmith was able to escape with smoke starting to pour out. Witch Doctor brought the fight near the pulverizer, throwing Blacksmith over but Blacksmith self-righted and was now on fire. Witch Doctor attacked a few more times until Blacksmith stopped moving and was counted out, giving Witch Doctor the win by KO and a place in the quarterfinals. |
Witch Doctor vs. SawBlaze For the quarterfinals, Witch Doctor faced off against Jamison Go and the No.7 seed, SawBlaze. Witch Doctor started off fairly well, bending up the middle fork on SawBlaze's front. Witch Doctor was then shoved into the arena barrier, but managed to cause damage to SawBlaze's weapon arm before getting free. Witch Doctor then threw SawBlaze into the air but SawBlaze recovered. Witch Doctor then threw SawBlaze onto its back but SawBlaze self-righted again. After being shoved into the arena barrier again, Witch Doctor threw SawBlaze up on its nose where it was unable to escape as smoke began pouring out SawBlaze was counted out, giving Witch Doctor the win by KO and a spot in the semifinals. |
Witch Doctor vs. DeathRoll   Witch Doctor and DeathRoll collide. Now, Witch Doctor was against veteran DeathRoll from Australia, which had been on a winning streak since the event began. When the match began, Witch Doctor attacked DeathRoll, not causing any real damage. However, by the second or third hit, Witch Doctor had taken out DeathRoll's weapon due to a loose wire and continued its assault on their opponent. Even without a weapon, Witch Doctor still faced charges from its opponent so they flipped DeathRoll over and DeathRoll self-righted. As the match came down to the final 30 seconds, Witch Doctor stopped moving. Luckily, it managed to regain enough mobility to make it to the end of the fight. The judges awarded a 2-1 split decision to Witch Doctor, advancing it to the finals. |
Witch Doctor vs. Bite Force In the championship bout, Witch Doctor was facing two-time champion Bite Force. As the match got underway, Witch Doctor was doing very well, tearing off Bite Force's front wedgelets and overall giving Bite Force a pretty hard time. However, as the match wore on, Witch Doctor's weapon stopped working, leaving them almost defenseless. Making matters worse, they also were losing drive on one side, allowing their opponent to attack in retaliation. Witch Doctor could do little else by this point and eventually got flipped over but self-righted. After being flipped again, Witch Doctor was now up against the arena barrier where it was unable to right itself and was counted out, giving Bite Force the win by KO and a third Giant Nut. |

Witch Doctor vs. Tombstone Witch Doctor was selected as one of 10 robots to compete for the Giant Bolt trophy in Las Vegas, Nevada as part of a live stream event. Up first for them was a rematch with Tombstone from 2015. When the match began, Witch Doctor collided with Tombstone, sending both robots in opposite directions. Both robots recovered and took another collision, leaving Witch Doctor to lose part of its weapon and sending Tombstone into the arena barrier. This time however, Tombstone was only turning in circles but its weapon was still at top speed so it turned to face Witch Doctor again and was nearly sent out of the arena. After one more collision, Tombstone was no longer moving and started smoking. Tombstone was counted out, giving Witch Doctor the win by KO. Witch Doctor was selected by the audience to compete with Bronco in a grudge match from 2015 for the championship bout. |
Witch Doctor vs. Bronco The match was off to a great start for Witch Doctor as Bronco turned right into their weapon and lost a tire. Witch Doctor took advantage of Bronco's failed attempt to flip by tearing off another tire. Witch Doctor struck Bronco again and this time, Bronco's flipper tip had been bent up. Witch Doctor then tore off a 3rd wheel and left Bronco dead near the screws. Bronco was counted out, giving Witch Doctor the win by KO and the Giant Bolt trophy. |
Discovery Season 5 |
Witch Doctor vs. Hydra   Both bots attack. |
Witch Doctor vs. Kraken Witch Doctor was now up against Matt Spurk and Kraken. Witch Doctor started off very poorly as their weapon lost a tooth almost immediately as they were grappled and dragged across the arena. This left Witch Doctor with major control problems and pretty much no offense as well. Witch Doctor continued to fight and was grappled again before being released. After a 3rd grapple, Witch Doctor got in some hits but only caused cosmetic damage to Kraken at best. Time ran out and the judges awarded Kraken a unanimous 3-0 decision. |
Witch Doctor vs. SlamMow! Now facing the possibility of going 0-3 and not making it into the Championship Tournament, Witch Doctor needed to defeat his final Fight Night opponent, SlamMow!, to have any chance of making it into the Round of 32. As a result, Witch Doctor was now armed with twin discs made from AR400 steel but started off somewhat poorly as they were unable to mount an attack and ended up being pushed into the arena barrier. After a big head-on collusion, Witch Doctor started to gain the upper hand as they damaged SlamMow's right clamping arm. SlamMow then tried to clamp down on Witch Doctor's weapon but Witch Doctor completely disabled it instead. Witch Doctor then started to get to SlamMow's sides, ripping open the right wheel guard before taking off a wheel completely. With around a minute left, Witch Doctor went in for another attack but hit the arena barrier instead. However, SlamMow was only driving in circles so Witch Doctor backed off. SlamMow was counted out, giving Witch Doctor its first win by KO. |
Witch Doctor vs. Skorpios Despite his 1-2 record, Witch Doctor managed to make it into the Top 32 seeded the No. 23 seed and went up against the No.10 seed Skorpios. Witch Doctor started off well as they threw Skorpios into the air before nearly being pushed into the screws. Witch Doctor escaped and looked for an opening, eventually striking and disabling Skorpios' hammer saw. Witch Doctor continued to fight, unwilling to be bullied by their opponent and sent Skorpios flying again before attacking their right wheel. After taking a shot from the pulverizer intended for Skorpios, Witch Doctor sent its opponent flying twice more before time ran out. The judges awarded Witch Doctor a unanimous decision and a spot in the Top 16. |
Witch Doctor vs. SawBlaze Next up for Witch Doctor was Jamieson Go and SawBlaze, who they had already beaten in the previous season. SawBlaze started on the offensive, pinning Witch Doctor against the wall and landing a hit which cracked the rib cage. Witch Doctor retaliated, landing a few shots of its own to upend its opponent. SawBlaze used its three forks to great effect however, sliding underneath Witch Doctor's front to negate their vertical spinner and lift the front wheels off the floor. SawBlaze had the flamethrower activated by this point and landed another hit on the top of the rib cage. Witch Doctor retaliated by popping Jamieson Go's bot into the air, but SawBlaze again recovered to drive Witch Doctor across the box and tear a panel away. Now stuck under the pulverizer, SawBlaze capitalised on the fact Witch Doctor could not spin up, and landed a hit directly on their weapon. Witch Doctor retreated to the center of the box, now missing a front wedge. SawBlaze was not unscathed either however, with its middle prong bent upwards from Witch Doctor's attacks. As the fight entered its final minute, SawBlaze landed several more shots to Witch Doctor's top and smoke began to pour from it. SawBlaze reversed into Witch Doctor, landing a weapon-to-weapon uppercut and jamming the two bots together momentarily. Witch Doctor was now immobile, and was officially counted out with just a second left on the clock. This brought an end to Witch Doctor's Giant Nut hopes, and SawBlaze moved on. |
Battlebots Bounty Huners |
Witch Doctor vs. SubZero Witch Doctor also had its own Bounty Hunters episode, where eight robots competed for a chance to face the Gellatelys for a piece of the $25,000 up for grabs. SubZero had managed to win three consecutive fights, and earned the right to face Witch Doctor. The fight started with SubZero receiving some minor shots from the drum of Witch Doctor, before a shot to the side turned it over. Witch Doctor was able to drive underneath SubZero, slicing through its baseplate in the proces. Though SubZero was able to self-right, Witch Doctor delivered a similar attack, damaging its opponent's right front tire. SubZero was now struggling to drive properly, and Witch Doctor's next attack tore a whole section of the front of SubZero clean away. This impact also knocked Spitfire out, and SubZero began to smoke. With under a minute gone, SubZero was counted out and Witch Doctor was declared the winner. |
