Robot History[]
Season 4.0[]
Torquemada's first fight was against Pharmapac. The fight was mainly a pushing match. Pharmapac had the advantage; its wedge and lifting arm got under Torquemada's plow easily. Pharmapac got several lifts and eventually, flipped over Torquemada. Torquemada ran inverted, but there was nothing Torquemada could really do now, so it ran around avoiding Pharmapac, who was losing a lot of mobility towards the end of the match. Pharmapac still won a 28-17 judges' decision.
