Federal M.T.

Federal M.T. is a Lightweight robot built by Uai!rrior that has competed since RoboGames 2012. It is a black, two-wheeled, invertible, box-shaped robot with a wedge on the front, and armed with a powerful spinning flywheel. Team Uai!rrior would later go on to BattleBots in 2019-2020 to compete with Black Dragon.

Federal M.T. did extremely well in competition, usually reaching the finals, winning the Gold in 2013, 2016 & 2018, and the Silver in 2015, & 2017.

Robot History

RoboGames 2017

Federal M.T. sends Tastes Like Burning flying.

After receiving a bye in the first round, Federal M.T.'s first match was against Syntax Error ();, this match started with both bots spinning up to speed, Federal M.T then started grinding against the side of SyntaxError(); with its flywheel. This caused one half of SyntaxError();'s drive to fail, and it tapped out.

This put Federal M.T. in the quarter-finals where it faced yet another RoboGames 2016 rematch, this time against Tastes Like Burning. This match started with Federal M.T. quickly getting up to speed, however Tastes Like Burning clamped down on it, and started roasting it with its flamethrower and driving it all over the arena. Still in control, Tastes Like Burning then slammed Federal M.T. into the wall, and Federal M.T. started smoking.

However Federal M.T. got away, and delivered some hits to Tastes Like Burning bending its forks up leaving it unable to get under Federal M.T. This allowed Federal M.T. to bide its time whilst it lined up a shot on Tastes Like Burning, this hit sent Tastes Like Burning flying through the air, and landing upside-down, bursting a tank valve, and leaving it completely unable to attack with its jaws. Federal M.T. then scored a few more hits with its flywheel as the final 14 seconds ticked down.

Unsurprisingly the judges scored the match in favor of Federal M.T., putting it in the semi-finals where it faced a severely damaged Wanna Go?.
