Buckaroo was a Middleweight flipper built by DragonFire for Robot Rampage Series 1. Buckaroo has trouble flipping because it has a tendency for the back of the bot to lift up, instead of the other bot flipping. This would have been solved by something as simple as a skirt hinge. Because of this, even though it got some good flips in, it was not able to get Tank out in the first round. Tank then preceded to mangle Buckaroo, with a KO, even though Buckaroo could easily get under it from all angles. After an error by DragonFire, Buckaroo was placed into the second round against Bot Launcher. Buckaroo got luckier in Round 2, flipping out Bot Launcher for a TKO. Bot Launcher was having trouble self-righting, and was an easy flip for Buckaroo. In the finals, it was fighting against Dark Knight in the first round, and was literally less than inches from flipping out the champ to-be, but Dark Knight fell back into the arena. In the second round of the final match, it was teamed up on by Dark Knight and Code Breaker, and was quickly KOed.
