Tantrum, built by Alex Grant and Ginger Schmidt of Seems Reasonable Robotics in Mountain View, California, won the BattleBots Giant Nut in 2022 (season 11, World Championship VI) with an 8-1 season. Sixteen further team members support the two builders.
The 250 lb (113.4 kg) robot debuted in 2018 with a spring-powered flipper before adopting its unusual ‘puncher’: a vertical drum mounted on a sled that thrusts forward, so each hit combines rotation with a push.
The mechanism description comes from a fan-wiki summary because the page itself was blocked; the league profile for World Championship VII omits the 2022 title, which is confirmed by Wikipedia’s champions list. Drive is electric on four wheels with radio control. The career record stands at 18 wins and 11 losses. Build cost has not been disclosed. The robot remains active.
Compared with the conventional drum of Copperhead, the sled thrust is meant to make up for lower rotational energy.
