MicroVore was a middleweight competitor built by Team Shrapnel which fought in the final two seasons of Comedy Central BattleBots.
Its team were best known for their much more successful heavyweight, MechaVore, which MicroVore was a half-size replica of. Like MechaVore, MicroVore was a long, four-wheeled robot with a horizontal flywheel at the front capable of causing serious damage to opponents.
MicroVore's gas engine.
MicroVore did not fair well in battle, however, going winless across two seasons. The robot was retired shortly after the cancelation of Comedy Central BattleBots.
