Knee-Breaker was a middleweight robot built by Team Coolrobots that competed at Long Beach 1999, and again from Season 4.0 onwards of Comedy Central BattleBots. It was originally a black thwackbot armed with a hammer that was later exchanged for a spinning bar in Season 4.0. It performed decently in BattleBots, finishing as the middleweight runner-up in its initial season but didn't win a match in BattleBots after that. It's last competition was Steel Conflict 2003 where it came in Second Place Middleweight Division. 

Knee-Breaker's spinning bar was later given to Chunk.
