Outside BattleBots[]
Team Duct Tape also competed in Robot Wars: Extreme Warriors, entering heavyweights Unibite and Hyperactive.
The team have competed in various other competitions. A 12lb sequel to Knome II, titled mini KNOME3, was built in 2001. Miles fought with lightweight Hot Stuff from RoboGames 2010 until 2013. A 30lb version of Hyperactive was built and has fought at a number of events including Motorama in 2014 and 2015. He would build a heavyweight horizontal spinner for RoboGames 2015 named HyperBite - a portmanteau of Hyperactive and Unibite.
Miles built Dragon King for King of Bots Season 2 under the name DT Robotics. Similar to Red Devil in its appearance, Dragon King featured a gold aesthetic and twin cutting saws. Following his retirement, Jerome Miles sold Dragon King to the Skorpios team, who entered it as an alternate during World Championship VII.
