Origin Story
Discovered within a decommissioned electrical substation near Kansas City, TB-7 “Charge Sentinel” once served as a prototype diagnostic unit for high-voltage field testing. The central module—marked with test, hold 5 seconds, and charge—was part of an early training rig designed to teach technicians safe capacitor discharge techniques.
When the R3BOTS recovery crew located the assembly, the control panel was still intact, its indicator lights faintly glowing after decades of inactivity. The metal forearms—crafted from layered resistor fins—were precision-calibrated to dissipate static charge safely through its frame. Engineers reconstructed the unit’s missing components using grounded piston mounts, rethreaded compression joints, and an adaptive voltage coil atop its head to regulate current flow.
Upon reactivation, TB-7 immediately entered a diagnostic mode, flashing its red indicators in sequence and emitting a faint calibration hum. It quickly earned a reputation among the team for its near-perfect timing and balance—traits that made it indispensable during power regulation and surge testing missions.
Now part of the Volt Division, the Charge Sentinel continues to monitor and stabilize R3BOTS field equipment, ensuring no current goes unmeasured and no circuit goes unprotected.
