Silent Spring was originally designed in 2015 as an upscale version of version 2 of DDT and its name continues of the theme of insecticides (credit to Nate Franklin for the idea). The robot was designed to be a bit of a joke bot that simply dished out big hits. When the bot was refined to survive its own impacts, it began placing better at events purely by outlasting its opponents in weapon-to-weapon trades. Since then, the bot was refined further to include modular weaponry and gained a reputation for being a top-notch beetle in the US.
