Information
Onslaught is a robot that was built by Alan Wood from Bedford in 1998. It fought in 4 UK series from Series 2-5 where it reached its heat final in its first appearance losing to Roadblock in its heat-final. It also reached the final of the Southern Annihilator at the end of Series 4 where it was beaten by Razer. Despite being small in size, Onslaught was still able to tow big weights due to its big motor which is said to be even bigger than that of Sir Killalot and its front scoop was capable of lifting 140kg. Nowadays, Onslaught has been retired as it would no longer be able to take the beatings from todays heavyweights but driver Alan Wood and Team mates John and Tracey Wilkinson still fight today with their robot Ka-Pow!
