Crash n' Burn is a Heavyweight multibot from Canada that competed at RoboGames 2017. It is a pair of two nearly identical wedge-bots called Crash, and Burn, both armed with flamethrowers. Crash is the orange robot, and Burn is the blue one.
Despite a rocky start in the competition, Crash n' Burn proved to be quite tough, and did quite well in competition, taking out legends Megabyte, and Last Rites by KO, only being eliminated from the tournament by eventual Silver Medalists Whiplash.
The team that built Crash n’ Burn applied to BattleBots with Hack & Slash, a multi bot with a similar design. It was accepted, but the team had to drop out due to COVID-19 and work commitments.

Crash gets under Sabre-X.
Crash n' Burn's first match was against Sabre-X. This match started with Sabre-X spinning up, and Crash n' Burn swarming it in an attempt to stop the flywheel of Sabre-X. Burn then got under Sabre-X, however Sabre-X got around to the side of Crash, and shredded its wheel immobilizing it on one side.
With Crash now left spinning in circles, Sabre-X then went after Burn as Crash deployed its flamethrower. Sabre then shredded the wheel on Burn as well, and backed off to see if the multibots were still mobile.
Once the duo started moving again Sabre-X went in for the attack once more, ripping into Burn's wheel once again. The countdown then started on Crash n' Burn, but three seconds from being counted out, Burn moved, and Sabre-X came in, and finished it off, and Crash n' Burn were finally counted out with less than 30 seconds left on the clock.
This loss put Crash n' Burn in the loser's bracket where they faced Vlad the Impaler II.
