Psychotron
Psychotron was a Middleweight built by Kelly Smith that competed in RoboGames 2016. It was a Silver, invertible, two-wheeled weaponless robot with a skull decal on the front. Despite being built roughly sixteen years old prior to its RoboGames debut, Psychotron showed just how well designed it was by hardly showing its age in battle, as it not only went 2-2 in the main competition, but it also won the Heavyweight/Middleweight rumble. However despite this massive success the robot went back into retirement immediately afterwards.

Trivia[]
- RoboGames 2016 was likely Psychotron's last hurrah as the robot was immediately retired after it despite being in retirement for 12 years prior to its RoboGames appearance. Throw in the fact that it was put in a rumble with two Heavyweights the team was likely trying to have the bot go out with a bang.
