Product Information

In World Championship IV, Hydra's paint changed color from purple to teal depending on the lighting. Hydra and Defender face off.Defender immediately drove over the top of Hydra, snapping one of its long yellow forks and landing upside down. Defender righted itself and did the same again, as Hydra misfired before successfully throwing Defender over. Jason Vasquez's bot landed upright but could not get underneath Hydra's low profile design as it was flipped again. Upon driving into the corner of the BattleBox, Hydra slid underneath Defender again and threw it considerably higher, landing on the arm of the pulverizer and detaching one of the arena signs. From Dorchester, Wisconsin, he might be named after a character from ancient folklore but when he takes aim at you, he doesn't myth. It's HYDRA!"

Hydra's final flip on Rusty.Hydra continued its assault, scooping Dave Eaton's robot up and driving it across the BattleBox before launching Rusty at the drivers' booths. Hydra faces Tantrum.As the fight began, Tantrum immediately got its left-side fork lodged in the killsaw slot and Hydra took advantage, getting a small flip in early.

Unbeaten in three and looking for a high seed going into the Top 16, Hydra was matched against Inertia Labs and Bronco. The premium flipper from the first three seasons, Bronco was experiencing a disastrous campaign and was looking to avoid a 0-4 record. Hydra faced Ribbot who, for this fight, used its undercutting horizontal spinner. This was a weapon type Hydra had rarely encountered since its debut, so Jake Ewert opted to weld Hydra's wedgelets together to form a solid wedge.

This bot comes from Wisconsin, the land of cheese and dairy. If you're lactose intolerant, this might be kind of scary. It'll turn you into swiss, cause its flipper doesn't miss. Make you crumble like ricotta, it's one. Big. Botta. It's HYDRA!" We're gonna go with our SawBlaze config, where we go with the piano key wedgelets. I'm gonna have to try to sideswipe them and get to them before he can come around my side. I'm hoping to break that arm so he can't self-right anymore." — Jake Ewert pre-fight This flipper is a killer. It ain't no friendly TV dolphin. It's the deadly kind flipper that will put you in a coffin. He'll flip you in the morning. He'll flip you late at night. He'll flip you til you're nearly dead then turn out the lights. It's HYDRA!"

Hydra watches on as a flaming Gruff is counted out.Hydra fired its flipper again but only brushed against the side of Gruff as it continued to be chewed by the screws. Hydra’s flipper, which appeared to be much weaker than in previous fights, was still able to land a flurry of flips on Gruff, tossing a few feet in the air each time. As Gruff was trying to regroup, Hydra got underneath Gruff again and flipped it towards the corner near the out of the arena zone.

Customer reviews

Hydra once again made the Top 32, this time as the No.4 overall seed. In the Round of 32, it fought the No.29 seed DeathRoll. Both robots were former semi-finalists in World Championships IV and VI respectively. Hydra then managed to flip Witch Doctor high into the air, which caused one of Witch Doctor's discs to break. Their opponent's drive seemed okay, so Hydra remained aggressive and flipped Witch Doctor into the screws. After that, Hydra started smoking and was barely moving. However, Hydra was able to get moving again after letting its speed controllers cool and the fight went the distance. Hydra performed well in the 2019 season, becoming the fourth unbeaten robot in the opening stages of the tournament. Despite its undefeated Fight Night record, it suffered an early exit after its loss to Minotaur in the Top 16. Hydra is a heavyweight robot built by Team Whyachi which has competed in every BattleBots season since World Championship IV under the captaincy of Jake Ewert. Remember that old video game, NBA Jam, where you could jump from half court and still put down a slam? I always thought that was merely an optical illusion until i saw this bot launch people that high. Now it's a logical conclusion. Boom Shaka Laka, he's on fire. It's HYDRA!"
