Basher

Beta was Team Hurtz new entry to Battlebots to replace their popular machine Killerhurtz, However the team had major problems when trying to compete with this robot.

Robot History
Beta was to fight Bender in its first fight in Battlebots Season 5.0 but had to forfeit the fight as the magnets holding the weapon down kept pulling up the floor. Beta also tried to fight in the reboot of Battlebots in 2015 and was scheduled to fight Tombstone, but this time Team Hurtz lost an important 25KG bag fill of important parts to power Beta whilst flying overseas and the bag couldn't be found in time so it had to forfeit yet again. The bag was found 8 weeks later after the show and the team is currently planned to compete in Battlebots 2016.

Outside Battlebots
Beta made an appearance at the 2015 UK Championships in Stevenage where it fought in whiteboard fights only and in one of them, made a large hole in the floor of the arena with its hammer. John Reid also took Beta to a BBQ and tied it to the floor to demonstrate the power of Beta's weapon, upon firing the weapon it pulled the ropes out of the ground and launched itself into the air.
