Ribbot began taking early punishment from End Game, losing one of its four decorative frog legs and being thrown into the air. Ahead of the fight, the team added sunglasses to Ribbot to represent the New Zealand's team tendency to wear sunglasses. For this fight, Ribbot went with its bigger and heavier vertical spinner setup with wedgelets on the front. Ribbot was next drawn against New Zealand representatives End Game. After another trip to the screws where it lost the other rear cosmetic leg, Ribbot survived until the end of the match, but the judges awarded Kraken a unanimous 3-0 decision. Ribbot was released, then grabbed again and taken to the pulverizer, which caused more damage to the cosmetic shell. Ribbot got away and managed to bend one of Kraken's front teeth but this didn't stop them from being grabbed again and paraded around the arena floor. When the match began, Ribbot was quickly grappled by Kraken and moved towards the screws, where it lost a decorative leg near the screws. For this fight, Ribbot opted for its vertical spinner as its team trusted it more over their undercutter. Ribbot's BattleBots debut came against Kraken. Despite a dominant run through its episode, Ribbot fell in the first round of the Golden Bolt tournament to eventual champions End Game. Returning for BattleBots: Champions, Ribbot ultimately won the second Sin City Slugfest bracket, defeating Double Jeopardy, Malice, Deep Six and the bracket's gatekeeper Lock-Jaw en route to the Golden Bolt Tournament. However, Ribbot's Giant Nut ambitions were cut short after losing to No.31 seed Hydra. Ribbot then advanced to the Round of 32 with the No.2 seed. Ribbot started the 2021 season with an unbeaten Fight Night record, knocking out Defender and Overhaul in its opening fights before following suit after a tussle with P1 to go 3-0.

These changes made Ribbot the highest-volted robot in BattleBots history, boasting over 250v underneath its armor. Ribbot came back for the 2021 season, now opting for brushless motors to power its primary weapon and featuring a self-righting mechanism on its vertical spinner configuration (which was now combined with its wedge). However, its run continued, defeating Beta in the Round of 32 and pulling out a comeback win against Uppercut in the Round of 16 before losing out to Black Dragon in the final eight.

Ribbot finished with a modest 2-1 record after Fight Night, earning it the No.20 seed in the Top 32. For weaponry, Ribbot retained the vertical and horizontal weapons, but ditched the lifting weapon. The team reworked their main configurations with kinetic weaponry and dropped the option for a lifter. Instead, the team used vacuum-formed heads, but this came at the cost of losing the arms and legs. Ribbot returned for Discovery Season 5, but were forced to swap out their foam frog features, but saved around 20lbs in the process. " The arena cleanup crew was not too happy with the foam but it looked pretty getting destroyed so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯" - Team member Christian Cooper explains the retirement of Ribbot's foam frog limbs.
