Deadblow is a combat robot built and driven by Grant Imahara.[4] It competed in BattleBots in the middleweight division using a fast pneumatic hammer as its weapon.[1] Deadblow won 2 rumbles and was ranked number 2 among middleweights, right after Hazard. Afterwards, it went on with Grant to help in some experiments in the television series MythBusters and now is a member of that series' build team.
