Racecar (and its counterpart Racecar Backwards) is a Lightweight robot built by Radio F Software. The robot was constructed for the Minor Inconveniences tournament and in order to satisfy the requirements of having a "tag team" style teammate to fight with Racecar's cohort is an identical copy named "Racecar Backwards" that, as the name suggests, is a mirrored image of the robot that drives in reverse (skin and all). The robot duo is a reference to the word "racecar" being a palindrome (it is spelled the same way forward and backward).

Racecar's first and only battle was against Lil' Rippo by Mouldy King Bash where it went into battle in its "Backwards" format with the hopes that its rear spoiler made of Beater Bars would prove effective against its opponent's spinning disc. Unfortunately while the ram was able to ward off Lil' Rippo's disc the effect was only temporary and Racecar's rear spoiler was torn off along with both of the wheels on the left (or was it the right?) side of the robot resulting in a loss by KO.
