Ryu-Kishin

Ryu-Kishin (often times displayed as Ryu Kishin and generally misspronounced) was a Bashbot that competed in season 3 & 4. It had a 1/1 record in season 3 and endet up with a record of [TBA] in season 4.



Ryu-Kishin was a four wheel driven wedge bot with a pneumatic flipper mounted on top. It was primarily black and white with some orange details here and there. It was build by Thyrus with the intend to push its opponents around the arena and to use the hazards to its advantage and possibly throw the other bot out of the arena.

Season 3



It returned for season 4 as a electrical lifter. This change allowed it to throw it's opponents over in a more controlled manner. It was entirely made out of custom props this time.

Season 4

Trivia
Ryu-Kishins' name comes from a character of the same name from a childrens card game

As stated many times in the episode it first appeared in 2011 in the form of a RA2 machine. It was build for a battlebots inspired tournament in which it reached first place

The hexagon pattern on Ryu-Kishins side are a homage to the design of the frontplate of the original RA2 bot.

As a start into real life roboteering, Thyrus bought a featherweight robot and named it Kishin. He outfittet it with a new hardox frontplate that was supposed to have a hexagon pattern as well. As time run he bought some orange tape and put two stripes on right hand side of the plate. He continued this on the bashbots machine.

It's the first bot from germany

Thyrus is building a beetleweight version of this bot. Building began before he signed up for Season 3 of Bashbots.
