Deadblow is a combat robot that was built and driven by Grant Imahara.[4] It competed on BattleBots in the middleweight division using a fast pneumatic hammer as its weapon.[1] Deadblow won two rumbles and was ranked second among middleweights, after Hazard. Afterwards, it was used by Imahara to help in some experiments on the television series MythBusters.[5][6]
