During competition, Ray typically does not fear the opposition due to the sheer power of his own robot, but once in a while, he's drawn against a robot that he may be at least slightly fearful of. It earned the award of the "Most Destructive Robot" and is undoubtedly dreaded by many competitors in which it faces of the carnage that it can create.

Both bots were destructive bots and Tombstone became the runner up in the 2015 ABC Battlebots reboot series, then champion in the 2016 ABC Battlebots series. Both bots had indeed, a very successful reputation. The trio is most well known for building the most deadliest horizontal spinners, such as Last Rites, which competed at RoboGames as well as the ComBots Cup, and Tombstone, which has been the most feared bot in the competition, earning its rightful place as the no.1 seed for 3 years in a row. Ray Billings is a robot combat veteran and the leader of Hardcore Robotics, a trio consisting of himself, his son "Justin Billings" and "Ricky Russ."
