The team who built Paladin also competed with middleweight Hipoponomous, which performed just as poorly. Paladin's weapon was put on Hipoponomous in Season 5.0 after it had issues with its disc, nicknamed "the beat-down stick".
Robot History[]
Season 4.0[]
Paladin went up against Bad News. Paladin had accuracy issues with its weapon. Bad News' drum was quite strong as it tossed Paladin in the air several times. Neither robot was dealing any serious damage until Bad News struck Paladin upwards and got under it a second time. Paladin appeared to be dead after that. The judges gave Paladin most of the points in aggression, but Bad News won nearly all the points in damage. Paladin lost 28-17, and was eliminated from the tournament.
Season 5.0[]
Paladin's first match this time was against Rim Tin Tin. Paladin easily dodged Rim Tin Tin and was axed a few times until the time ran out. Paladin won on a 42-3 judges' decision and advanced to meet Whirl Wep-EEL Brain. Whirl Wep-EEL Brain won the match, and Paladin was eliminated from the tournament.
