Information
Storm Force is a heavyweight robot that was built originally by David Bewely from Leeds in 2001. It was built for Robot Wars Series 5 where it made its only TV appearance losing in the first round of its heat to the twice UK Champion Chaos 2. For 6 more years after, Storm Force went into retirement until it was sold to John Findlay of Roaming Robots in 2007, but because John had a busy schedule at his show, he had to rely on different drivers to take turns in driving it so he sold Storm Force again in 2008 this time to Scottish roboteer Liam Bryant where it was given to him as a Christmas present. Storm Force is a well known robot out in the circuit today and is known for its low-centre of gravity combined with its cylindrical shaped body which allows it to roll back on its wheels if it gets flipped.
