Information
Philliper 2 is a Belgian heavyweight robot that was built by the Poppe family. It started fighting in 2001 as Philipper which originally had two flippers - one at the front and rear before being rebuilt to Philipper 2 which had the crusher replacing the rear flipper. They did well in Robot Wars with Philipper 2 as it finished runners-up in the second series of the Dutch Robot Wars to PulverizeR and also finished as runners-up to Tornado in the European Championships Robot Wars Extreme 2. It has also defeated robots in the past in Robot Wars like Panzer Mk2 and Black Hole who were champions of their own countries at the time.
