      Information
      Rattler was originally built as Disturbed by Team Hydra for the 2011 UK Heavyweight Championships, it lost the group stages of that event but continued fighting in some more of the events that year. In 2012, Disturbed was sold to Team Snakepit who renamed it to Rattler who re-modified it to look like a snakes head with bright flashing red eyes. Rattler is a really fast robot with strong armour and a powerful flipper that can make a lot of robots, become hisssss-tory!
