Number 29 - Copperhead

Copperhead is equipped with one of the most dangerous weapons ever constructed. Its egg beater drum spinner has split GIGABYTE in half and taken every bolt off of P1's wedge. Copperhead debuted in season 4 in 2019 and lost its debut match against Skorpios. It caused a ton of damage in that fight, however, and it beat heavily armored Gruff in its next fight. Copperhead lost its next fight but knocked out WAR Hawk after that, putting it at 2-2. It was impressive enough to earn a play in battle against full body spinner Son of Whyachi for a spot in the top 16. The builder of Copperhead, Team Caustic Creations, had some history against Son of Whyachi. In season 2, their drum spinner Poison Arrow made the round of 32 as the 27th seed, drawing sixth seed Son of Whyachi. Poison Arrow delivered the single biggest hit in Battlebots history when it knocked out Son of Whyachi to make the final 16. At any rate, there was an exciting battle between "SOW" and Copperhead, which was won by Son of Whyachi. In season 5, Copperhead faced GIGABYTE, which was in a similar position with Copperhead. Copperhead split GIGABYTE in half and knocked out P1 in its second fight to earn a battle with Black Dragon in the main event. Black Dragon made it the distance, but it was completely dominated by Copperhead, which picked up an easy victory. In season 5, Battlebots returned to a final bracket of 32, and Copperhead was seeded third. Its opponent, Mammoth, looked like easy prey. In a very controversial (not to mention incorrect) decision, Mammoth eliminated Copperhead from the tournament. Copperhead is planning to enter in season 6. Copperhead's record is 5-4 (.556) with three knockouts. For its wins over Gruff and Black Dragon, devastating weapon, and good losses, Copperhead is number 29 on my list of the top 50 Battlebots of all time.
