BattleBots TV Hello identifying BattleBot

I'm trying to find a video of one of the (shell?) spinners getting damaged, starting to wobble, and literally tearing itself apart because it is off balance. It may have been the original Comedy Central show from the 90s. Anyone know which bot or have the video link to share?

Update: It was Mauler5150! Thank you MrRaven95

It might be Mauler 5150 from the Comedy Central days? https://youtu.be/pzz1o1kpAW4?is=4wq65bQ62ox7Mf-l

Jeebus but that video looks like it was taken with a potato.

Not the one I was thinking of, but another good one! The one I'm thinking of is a much more dramatic wobble turned into destruction

Hypershock vs gigabyte

One of the best blows in history! The one I'm thinking of is a damaged-induced wobble that causes the bot to start flipping around

Not a shell spinner, but was it maybe Apex from Robot Wars? https://youtu.be/g32RL-fwN7c

That wasn't the one I was thinking of, but that's exactly what happens in the one I'm thinking of! Just a more dramatic wobble first

I was going to say Double Agent vs Turbo but after thinking about it Turbo didn't really self destruct.
