Team End Game, aka the Kiwi Killers

Called the Kiwi Killers as an homage to their native New Zealand, Team End Game kicked off the 2020 BattleBots season in spectacular fashion, challenging the legendary Ray Billings and Tombstone to their first match of the season. All it took was 39 seconds to knockout Tombstone and start the regular season 1-0.

End Game v. Bloodsport

Coming off the incredible high earned by knocking out BattleBots legend Tombstone, End Game fell back down to Earth in its second match, where the bot lost to Bloodsport.

End Game v. HyperShock

In its third and final match of the regular season, End Game dispatched HyperShock with a knockout in 53 seconds, earning a 2-1 regular season record. With that, the bot secured the sixth overall seed for the 2020 BattleBots World Championship tournament.

End Game v. Perfect Phoenix

With the sixth overall seed in the 2020 BattleBots World Championship tournament, End Game faced Perfect Phoenix in the first round. Perfect Phoenix's post season lasted less than a minute, as End Game issued a KO in 57 seconds.

End Game v. Rotator

End Game's championship run continued with a match against Rotator, where it won by judges decision. It is the only match the bot had this season where it didn't win (or lose for that matter) by knockout.

Quarterfinals Match - End Game v. Shatter!

In the quarterfinals of the 2020 World Championships, End Game wasted no time putting a stop to the tournament's remaining hammer bot, Shatter! End Game won the match with a KO.

Semifinal Match - End Game v. Tantrum

It was a tough one, but End Game came out on top with a victory over Tantrum and a ticket to the championship final.

BattleBots 2020 World Championship Final - End Game v. Whiplash

It all came to this - End Game faced Whiplash in the championship final, where it issued a winning knockout in spectacular fashion by sending Whiplash out of the box.
