Hipoponomous was a middleweight robot built by Team Batteraizees which competed in Seasons 3.0 and 5.0 of Comedy Central BattleBots. It was originally a tall wedge-shaped robot armed with a vertically-spinning aluminum disc with a pneumatic lifter/srimech. It was completely rebuilt for Season 5.0 to be a short box-shaped Lexan robot armed with a horizontally-spinning disc (however, there were issues with the disc, so it was exchanged for a small hammer nicknamed "the beat-down stick"). Hipoponomous did not do well in competition, winning only one fight.
The team that built Hipoponomous also built a lightweight robot named Paladin, which is the robot which Hipoponomous borrowed its "beat-down stick" from.
