Information
Killerhurtz was the first robot built by Team Hurtz in 1998, it has taken part in the UK Robot Wars from Series 2 to Series 4 where it hasn't enjoyed a lot of success in the heats despite having very good achievements in the Battlebots tournaments abroad in the USA, it also took part in the First World Championships of Robot Wars where it represented Czech Republic due to team member Dominic Parkinson being half Czech. Killerhurtz has taken part in a few events outside Robot Wars like Roaming Robots, but it is now retired and John Reid now fights with the more successful Terrorhurtz.
