Rammstein

Rammstein was a parallelogram-shaped robot from Miami, Florida that fought in all five seasons of BattleBots as well as the War of Independence competition of UK Series 4, appearing in its BattleBots Season 1.0 form. Rammstein was an invertible box wedge shaped robot with a pneumatic spike on the front. It competed exclusively in super heavyweight competitions in America, but was allowed to enter Robot Wars despite weighing in at 95kg (which was 15kg over the UK heavyweight limit at that time) after making a few weight-saving adjustments. However, since Rammstein's power source was not adapted for the five minute battles in UK Robot Wars (instead of the three minute battles in BattleBots), it lost in the first round of the War of Independence to Panic Attack.

It was a respectable, seasoned competitor in the United States, reaching the BattleBots Season 1.0 semi-final, where it lost to Minion, a robot that is in The Combat Robot Hall of Fame.

Series 4
Rammstein faced UK Series 2 champion Panic Attack in the first round of the War of Independence. The two robots drove at each other, but were at first unable to cause too much damage to each other, even with Rammstein making use of its weight advantage to push Panic Attack around the arena. Eventually, Panic Attack lifted Rammstein and flipped it over, but this did not affect Rammstein, since it was invertible. Panic Attack then lifted up Rammstein and tried to set it on its side. Eventually, it overturned the American machine again. Rammstein tried to escape, but was running out of power (its batteries were designed for the three minute matches held in BattleBots, rather than the five minute fights in Robot Wars) and drove straight onto Panic Attack's lifting forks. The former British champion lifted Rammstein up and performed its signature move, by lifting it up off the floor and carrying it over to the open pit, before lowering the worn-down Rammstein into the abyss.
