Tombstone's builder Ray Billings built a new version of Tombstone for BattleBots World Championship I on ABC where it finished as runner-up and earned the giant bolt for "Most Destructive Robot".

The problem for me is scheduling for filming this year's BattleBots season. Unfortunately there weren't a lot of options for when they could film, and when I could get the surgery done. And for right now I have to focus on healing and not risk further injuries trying to “push it” now.

AR500 Steel It is roughly six to seven times stronger and harder than mild steel but has the same density. Combat robots tend to utilize AR500 as their choice for weapon material or armor because it strikes the perfect balance of toughness and hardness.

Tombstone's primary weapon hits with 50 times the force of an AK-47, but before Ray Billings can test it, he must Shop-Vac his driveway. Tombstone, Billings's legendary BattleBot that is 15-2 in competition, tosses 250-pound robots like rag dolls.

Robertson shot Tombstone and trapped him in an airtight test chamber which contained an experimental gas. The gas was absorbed into Tombstone's bloodstream and had a mutagenic effect on his body, enhancing his strength and heightening his other physical abilities.

Blendo first competed in the second Robot Wars competition in San Francisco (1995). After two fights (against robots Namreko and DoMore), it was deemed too hazardous to compete by the event supervisors and the insurance company after throwing pieces of its opponents over the arena walls.

The show is an adaptation of the American Robot Wars competitions hosted in the mid–late 1990s by Marc Thorpe, in which competitors design and operate remote-controlled armed and armored machines designed to fight in an arena combat elimination tournament.

Projectile weapons are allowed, as long as they do not create an arena-fouling problem. Projectile weapons must not use explosives. Springs, catapults and gas-pressure powered guns may be acceptable. You may be required to show that your projectile weapon will not damage the Lexan exterior of the arena.

Weaknesses. Diox-3 Counter-Drug: If Tombstone inhales the counter-drug, he becomes vulnerable again.

In a later meeting Tombstone arranged an ambush for Robertson at the Osborn Chemical plant, but the trap was discovered by Spider-Man. During the incident Robertson shot Tombstone, sending him into a room with the experimental chemical Diox-3, which gave him superhuman abilities.

No electrical, chemical, or other non-mechanical types of weapons are allowed. The occasional exception to this is a gas-based flamethrower, which is permitted in BattleBots, but you'll never be allowed to pour water on opponents, set off explosives, or jam their control signals.

Parents Need to Know There's lots of crashing, breaking, and exploding machines, and on occasion their creators lose their temper or say the occasional (bleeped) bad word. Logos of companies or services owned by the Bot creators are shown, as is the occasional Apple logo.

Bot Fighting is a robot fighting sport in which contestants build small remote-controlled robots and have them battle for supremacy. Bot fighting itself is not illegal and is in fact a popular sport in San Fransokyo, but betting on it is illegal and could result in imprisonment.

Bots can be walkers, hoppers, fliers, slitherers, or whatever else in terms of mobility – as long as it complies with the limits! Any bot must also be able to fit through the 8ft x 8ft arena entry doors without disassembling.

Superhuman Strength: Tombstone possesses sufficient strength enabling him to lift about 6 tons. Superhuman Reflexes: Tombstone's reflexes are enhanced to superhuman levels. Superhuman Stamina: Tombstone's muscles produce less fatigue toxins than the musculature of an ordinary human.
