Seems Reasonable Robotics participated in World Championship VI with Tantrum along with a brand-new robot called Blip, a flywheel flipper. Tantrum during World Championship VI hero shots. This proved to be Tantrum's best performance yet as it went 2-1 in the Fight Night rounds and progressed all the way to the last four, where it lost to eventual champion End Game in the semi-finals, falling just short of the Championship decider. Tantrum also had a hinged wedge to the front, which was interchangeable with forks, and the fists boasted flamethrowers. It sported a slightly more refined chassis and a dedicated self-righter on the back.
Returning for World Championship V, Tantrum returned with its 'puncher' once again, now set at a downward angle for a lower reach. As such, Tantrum failed to make the main tournament. However, its weapon was largely ineffective and internal issues cost it in several battles.
Tantrum did slightly better in the 2019 season, going 2-2 in Fight Night. This enabled Tantrum to "punch" opponents once the kinetic spinner was brought to the front of the machine. Replacing the titanium flipper was a unique 'puncher' weapon - a vertical spinning drum mounted on a sliding mechanism. It struggled in its debut season of BattleBots, only winning once against Battle Royale With Cheese, and losing two other matches.įor World Championship IV, Tantrum gained some new upgrades, including but not limited to wedges at the front, and a newly-shaped body to accommodate its more potent primary weapon. Team captain Aren Hill stated this iteration of the bot took around two and a half years from concept to a finished product. Its drive was relatively unique as its custom-molded wheels also housed planetary gears for the drive motors.
This allowed Tantrum to remain compact, and let the team fire its flipper instantaneously. Known as a "choo-choo mechanism", the weapon system utilized electric motors and batteries rather than a large pneumatic system consisting of air tanks. The flipper boasted 12,800lbs at the tip, and Tantrum sported decorative fists on either side. In its debut year, Tantrum was a four-wheeled robot armored in 1/2" AR400 steel, and was equipped with a spring-powered flipping arm made from three sheets of 10mm titanium plating which doubled up as top armor. Tantrum is a heavyweight robot built by Seems Reasonable Robotics, which has competed in every season since BattleBots World Championship III. Not to be confused with the Comedy Central Season 3.0 lightweight entry of the same name. Statistics correct as of its most recent appearance on the show, or if not applicable, qualification attempt.
