      Information
      Disc-Struction is a heavyweight robot that was originally built as Saw Point 2 by Team A-Kill from Buckinghamshire. It competed in the second series of Robot Wars Extreme in the Minor Meltdown competition where it lost the first round to Bigger Brother, it came back for the UK Seventh Wars where it lost to Tornado in the first round due to it being pushed into the pit. In 2011, Saw Point 2 was sold to Will Thomas of Team Shock and Alex Sainsbury of Team Blitz who were both Gravesend-based teams. It was renamed Disc-Struction by both teams and was rebuilt as a joint-team project for spinner demonstration events. It only fought in one event which was the 2011 UK Championships but it couldn't use its discs due to safety concerns.

      I had originally planned to retire this robot owing to the fact that I wanted to get Kaizen 2.0 built but a minor change in circumstances
