      Information
      DTK was originally built as the fourth version of Dantomkia created by Mike Lambert from Chertsey, Surrey. It was sold to Team Batter in mid 2006 (as Dantomkia) who helped it win the 2006 Annihilator, finish 4th in the 2007 UK Championships and 2nd the following year. It was also under ownership of Andy Steels of Team Hydra before selling it back to Team Batter again in 2013. Due to original creator of Dantomkia, Mike Lambert having built a new version of his machine, it was renamed to DTK to distinguish it from the other. Since 2015, John Bell retired from fighting with robots so he donated his robot to John Findlay of Roaming Robots. DTK's weapon is a powerful flipper which can really pack a punch against other robots.
