      Information
      Spartacus is an American robot that was built by Team Sinclair Robotics from Ohio. The first version was built in 2001 for the First Series of the Robot Wars USA Championships where it lost to Panzer Mk2. Two years later, It was rebuilt to the incarnation it was in before retiring where it qualified for to represent America in the 3rd World Championships held at the end of the UK Seventh series of Robot Wars but it fell in the first round after being immobilised and taking heavy damage from Supernova. Spartacus's weapon was a hydraulic cutting claw which chewed up anything that got too close and had plenty of people quaking in their boots.
