Part of what makes BattleBots so interesting is that unlike other combat sports, the outcomes are very much up in the air most of the time. Not to say that upsets in boxing, kickboxing, and MMA don't occur, they do, it's just that in the BattleBots arena, there are other factors that come into play. Environmental hazards, for example, or maybe a particular part in the robot isn't working correctly that day. But for Andrea Suarez's Witch Doctor team, that doesn't seem to be as big of a problem.

Her win to loss ratio is pretty impressive by BattleBots standards, with a 100% win percentage. With four consecutive wins and zero losses, they're one of the biggest, baddest robot teams to beat.

In the second episode of the new season, we saw Witch Doctor best Shatter via the Judges' decision. Not the most exciting battle ever, but Andrea's team came out with the W.

Their next three matches, however, were a different story.

In Episode 5 when Witch Doctor went up against Captain Shrederator, they must've either had a great strategy on how to beat the very patriotic-themed robo-combatant, or just had a design built to nullify them, because they KOd the bot a minute and 10 seconds into their bout.

In Episode 9, they went up against Whiplash and scored themselves another Judges' decision, and the match was a back-and-forth battle that was super exciting to watch.

You can check out some of the slick moves that Andrea put on display here. There were impressive counters, intelligent robot control, and overall awesome maneuvering from both teams, but it was Witch Doctor who eventually earned the win.

In Episode 12, Witch Doctor put on an absolute clinic against Gigabyte, launching the colorful opponent into the air several times before finally KO'ing it 2 minutes and 17 seconds into their match.

This particular look has sparked interest among fans and has led to the creation of Taylor Swift witch replicas. These replicas are costumes or outfits that resemble the black witch-like attire worn by Swift in the music video. They typically include a black bodysuit, fishnet stockings, boots, and a wide-brimmed hat.

Who is Andrea Suarez, founder of Team Witch Doctor, on Battlebots?

Witch Doctor's builder has been in the battle-robotics game for 15 years, and works as a biomedical engineer in Florida. Growing up, her favorite class was art and she always thought that she'd become an artist, but after joining her high school's robotic team she became obsessed with building and fighting robots.

Andrea was only 14 years old when she built her first bot and even though the initial design was admittedly not that great for competition, they did manage to win some matches. For Andrea, the "destruction process" is actually a huge part of learning what designs will work in a fight and what won't. Which is why working as a biomedical engineer is a perfect vocation for her.

"I design medical devices for a living, and we would never put a device in a human without doing destructive testing. If you don’t learn how something breaks, you can’t learn how to design something that doesn’t break! Learning how to build a good BattleBot means learning how to build something that can survive the harshest environments. Every time Witch Doctor breaks, we learn how to improve the design. That’s exactly how the engineering process works in the real world."

Andrea also has a couple of medical patents to her; she doesn't just crush competitors in the BattleBots arena for a living. She is 100% about that engineering life, and it shows. She has as much passion for the "9 to 5" as she does for fighting robots on television and I think a lot of it has to do with her favorite quote from Arthur C. Clarke: "Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic."

She's a young woman who believes that she is making magic day in, day out. If that isn't enough to get you out of bed in the morning, then I don't know what is.

BattleBots airs on Discovery, Friday nights at 8 p.m. ET. Will you be checking out the robo-destruction?

‘Witch Doctors’ Flex Skills on BattleBots

Most witch doctors believe in healing, but this Witch Doctor, designed by a team that includes two alumni, will be bent on maiming, scorching, and annihilating other robots.

Folktales tell us that most witch doctors believe in healing. But this Witch Doctor is bent on maiming, scorching, and annihilating anything in its path.

Designed by a team that includes two University of Miami alumni, Witch Doctor is a 220-pound robot, which, with its flame-throwing sidekick, Shaman, will try to destroy other robotic competitors in the second season of ABC’s BattleBots.

During the course of the season, which premiered June 23, 48 robots will fight in grueling three-minute matches, but only one will ultimately triumph.

Andrea Suarez, B.S., M.S. ’11, and Michael Gellatly, B.S. ’06, are banking on their robotic duo emerging victorious when they compete during the June 30 show.

“Our strategy is a little unusual because we decided to meet the 250-pound weight limit with two robots instead of one,” said Suarez. “Witch Doctor weighs 220 pounds and has a weapon that spins vertically, while Shaman only weighs 30 pounds and uses a large flamethrower to attack its opponents.”

Witch Doctor participated in the first season of BattleBots and made it to the quarterfinals, where it faced the most-feared robot of all: Tombstone.

Although Witch Doctor and his human handlers lost, they inflicted the most damage to Tombstone in season one.

Suarez and Gellatly met when she was in high school at Carrollton School of the Sacred Heart, and he was at UM. At the time, she was competing in high school tournaments with light robots weighing a mere one and two pounds, and he was about to become president of the UM Robotics Team.

When they connected again at UM, they fine-tuned their skills as students in UM’s College of Engineering. Using steel, titanium, and aluminum, they were building electric robots “at a different level,” said Suarez.

“UM gave us the classes and the ability to refine what we knew and then apply it,” she said. “We had resources that we did not have before.”

Working with engineering graduate students and supportive faculty encouraged them to persevere, Gellatly recalls.

“Some people were critical of dueling robots,” said Gellatly. “But we knew that, although we were not saving lives, we were learning valuable engineering lessons.”

The friends continued to compete locally and nationally in college-level robotics competitions, later joining friends Paul Grata and Jennifer Villa to create the Witch Doctor team in 2010. Dressed in top hats and sporting skulls and bones, the team chose its name to appeal to children.

“We wanted to make sure that we drew in kids,” said Suarez. “We wanted children to be attracted to engineering without knowing that they were learning about engineering.”

Their strategy seems to be working. Later this year, the company Hexbug will debut a Witch Doctor toy. And in their day jobs, Suarez and Gellatly are actually enhancing, if not saving, lives. They both work in research and development at Zimmer Biomet, developing implants for traumatic injuries.

Reviews for "Taylor Swift's Witch Replica Collection: A Magical Journey awaits"

1. Jane - 1 star - I was extremely disappointed with the Taylor Swift witch replica. The quality of the materials used was extremely low, and the overall craftsmanship was subpar. The clothing didn't even fit properly, and the seams started unraveling after just one wear. It felt like a cheap knockoff rather than a replica. I would not recommend purchasing this item if you're looking for something of decent quality.
2. Mark - 2 stars - The Taylor Swift witch replica was a letdown for me. While the design and concept were interesting, the execution fell flat. The colors on the figurine were not vibrant or as depicted in the promotional images. Additionally, the pose of the replica looked awkward and unnatural. It seemed like a rushed production, lacking attention to detail. I was expecting more from a Taylor Swift-themed product.
3. Sarah - 2 stars - I expected more from the Taylor Swift witch replica, but sadly it didn't deliver. The facial features of the figurine looked distorted and didn't resemble Taylor Swift at all. The painting job was sloppy, with visible brushstrokes and uneven application of color. The replica also felt flimsy and fragile, making it difficult to display without the fear of it breaking. Overall, it was a disappointing purchase.
4. Michael - 1 star - The Taylor Swift witch replica was a waste of money. It arrived with several visible defects, including chips and scratches on the surface. The details were poorly defined, and it didn't even stand straight on its own, requiring additional support to avoid tipping over. It just felt like a rushed and poorly made product. I regret buying it and would not recommend it to others.
5. Emily - 2 stars - As a Taylor Swift fan, I was excited to get the witch replica, but it fell short of my expectations. The quality of the materials used was questionable, and the overall finish of the product was lackluster. The figurine also lacked the intricate detailing that was advertised, making it look cheap and poorly made. It was a disappointment, and I wouldn't recommend it to fellow fans.
