Beta

Beta is a hammer bot that competed in Season 2 of the reboot of Battlebots. Beta was scheduled to compete in Season 1 of Battlebots but had difficulty and had to forfeit. Beta is an electric hammer and needs electro magnets to keep from throwing itself upside-down when it fires. The hammer swings 9 feet in .2 seconds. Beta's debut was highly anticipated and many people thought of it as one of or the best hammer bots of all time. Beta was a Quarterfinalist in Season 2 before losing to Tombstone, although it almost beat it. Beta didn't sign up to compete in Season 3 of Battlebots, and so the best hammer title goes to Blacksmith.

Season 2
Beta's first fight in Season 2 was against the pneumatic flipper of Lucky. Lucky had added a shock absorber to the back of it for this fight. The fight started with Beta lining up and hitting the front of Lucky, which knocked the shock absorber off. Beta lined up and hit the front wedge of Lucky. Lucky proceeded to flip Beta into the screws, and Beta easily self-righted. The announcers were going crazy from both bots working. Beta lined up and hit the back of Lucky. Beta hit Lucky right on the flipper, just as Lucky flipped Beta. Beta gave Lucky a hit on its flipper, which got it stuck in an upright, cobra position. Beta went after Lucky
