      Information
      The Mule is a heavyweight robot that was originally built by Roger Plant from Somerset. It was built in 1998 for the second series of Robot Wars where it reached the heat final and lost to Plunderbird 2. A few years later after making a few appearances at live events, Roger sold all his robots and The Mule was sold to Welsh-based team Wrexham Wreckers who had taken it to live events to go on static display. The Mule was armed with an impressive set of flipping arms and a powerful forklift which enabled it to win the best engineered award in its only appearance on Robot Wars.
