Trivia: Red Tide VI had the only Hypno Teeth in BBEANS 4.

Red Tide VI was a Middleweight drum bot built by Firebeetle for BBEANS 4. It was Firebeetle's fourth try at BBEANS, and had an okay showing with Red Tide VI, the sixth in the series of Red Tides. Red Tide VI's design was to trap a bot in the fron on the wedges and taz wedge, and grind them until a KO. The fight against Interventionism 2.0 was one of the most boring fights EVER. The bots were locked in a stalemate for most of all 3 matches, except for a late, last minute KO for Red Tide. Firebeetle is one of two groups of siblings (with Clickbeetle) that fought in BBEANS 4. The other was Phlox and Barbie. Firebeetle is ranked 19th in BBEANS standings.
