Seems Reasonable Robotics (Team Tantrum)

Seems Reasonable Robotics of Mountain View, California, is the team of builders Alex Grant and Ginger Schmidt, supported by sixteen further members from Silicon Valley. Their robot Tantrum, known as a ‘puncher’ for its vertical drum on a forward-thrusting sled, debuted in BattleBots in 2018 with a spring-powered flipper and won the Giant Nut at the 2022 World Championship VI with an 8-1 season; its career record is 18 wins and 11 losses.

The league profile for World Championship VII omits the title, which Wikipedia’s champions list confirms. The team does not publish build costs. Its name reflects the ‘seems reasonable’ engineering attitude typical of the Silicon Valley scene.
