That sounds about right for Mythbusters.
- Blendo was put together before Mythbusters was a thing - Blendo was so strong and dangerous (for throwing debris into the audience) that The Boys were asked to withdraw it in exchange for a co champion title - they re-entered Blendo years later when the protective wall was much higher. It was once again asked to be withdrawn for a co champion title for the same reason. - copy cat Blendos started appearing and would tear each other apart - Blendo is in the robot hall of fame - Blendo is too strong and powerful
Blendo cannot be stopped.
bonus fact: grant imahara also had a competitive robot named deadblow that would just fucking. hammer the shit out of other robots
fun fact shared by Adam Savage:
NSync was touring the ILM workshop (during the making of the Star Wars prequels). The model makers were used to big name visitors and had been told not to interact with the guests.
NSync (without Timberlake at the time) were admiring the models when suddenly they shouted “DEADBLOW!!” when they saw the robot in the workshop, and then they saw Grant, and proceeded to lose their collective minds. They were all fans of Battlebots and took pics with him.
NSync, one of the biggest boybands of the 90s, fanboyed over Grant Imahara.
