Mammoth may be the most unconventional Battlebot ever built. Its weapon can be used either as a flipper or as a vertical spinner with a maximum speed of 30 miles per hour. Debuting in season 4, Mammoth went 3-3 with three knockouts, including one over the legendary Nightmare. In season 5, Mammoth started off the season with an upsetting knockout over Huge, as seen in the video, marking the second giant that it knocked out in as many seasons. Mammoth was slaughtered by HyperShock in its next match but won a decision over grappler robot Deadlift to make the round of 32. It also beat drum spinner Black Widow in an untelevised exhebition fight earlier in the season. It gained the 30th seed for its two poor matches to end the season and a fight against Copperhead, which was out for blood that season. What do you know? Mammoth won in a split decision (one that, in my opinion, probably should have gone to Copperhead), earning it a reputation as a giant killer. It ended the season with a split decision loss to hammer bot Shatter!, who also had the season of its life. As it stands, Mammoth is currently 7-5 (.583) with five knockouts. Although it has literally no armor and doesn't win its knockouts by inflicting severe damage with its weapon, Mammoth barely makes my top 50 on account of its being a hard bot to attack, for its record, and for its trio of wins over robots who check into this list with a lot going for them.
