      Information
      S3 is a heavyweight that was built in 2001 by the same team that fought in Robot Wars Series 2 and 3 with Sting which didn't get very far. S3 made its first appearance in Series 5 where it didn't fail to impress everyone beating Stinger in its heat final before losing out to Razer in the Semi-Finals, but it won the Most Original Entry award that year. Series 6 it came back seeded 7th and made it to the Semi-Finals again this time losing to Firestorm 4. S3 had a very powerful destructive spinning disc that could not only tear off shards of metal, but also turn robots over as well after hitting them. S3 was also described as a Hammerhead shark due to its shape.
