Team History

Brian made his first appearance with the heavyweight robot "Dumbo's Revenge" in the /r/Battlebots Hammerfall competition. Dumbo's Revenge underwent multiple changes during the pre-tournament phase of Hammerfall and was finally entered in it's M2A1 version. Dumbo's Revenge saw a moderate amount of success in the tournament, qualifying for playoffs but being eliminated by Meta Ridley.

In November of 2015 Brian took to the ARC boards with many other Hammerfall participants to enter into FRR Backlash, where Oryx Robotics Group debuted with it's first full four-weightclass line up consisting of "Promethean Fire", "Furious Redemption", "Smilodon", and "Fourth Horseman".
