Information
Roobarb is a robot that was built in Middlesex, the first version was built in 2000 and fought in a few live events including the Dutch Robot Games and failed to qualify for Series 5 losing to M2 in the qualifiers. Roobarb was rebuilt to the current version it was in last, it lost the first round of the Sixth series of Robot Wars to S3 and the second round of its heat to Tiberius 3, but reached its heat final in the New Blood championships in Extreme 2 where it lost to Mute. Roobarb was armed with a low-pressure flipper which the team claimed was better than high-pressure ones as it makes the gas last longer and also its armour which was described as "laser holographic etching panels" which made it stick out in the arena.
