Robots Rule - The Robots

This page gives you information on some of the robot warriors out there. Some of these robots have featured in Robot Wars and have now retired. Others have been in both Robot Wars and now take part in many live events and in the open circuit. These events are organised by the FRA, an organisation containing roboteers and event organisers.

Click a robot below to quickly go to the description of that robot on this page:

Some of the replica pullback toys of the contestant robots. From top left going clockwise: Chaos 2, Pussycat, X-Terminator, Panic Attack and Hypno-Disc.

This robot cost a pound and a penny to build, hence the name 101! A very experienced robot and a very experienced roboteer driving it.

Length	195cm
Width	70cm
Speed	15mph
Weapons	Flipper
Weakness	Prone to attacks from rear

Series 3 and 4 champion. It has that awesome CO₂flipper which hardly anything can beat. It can flip robots over and even out of the arena. I have lost count of how many times they have flipped a robot out of the arena! Once they have done that, they go and take on the house robots! So far, they have managed to flip over Matilda, Shunt and Sergeant Bash who they nearly got out of the arena. It was built in 6 months for £250.

Weapons	Hydraulic Jaws (Approx 1 Ton at the end of the jaw)
Weakness	Prone to flipping

A very strong contender in the sport. In one of their early battles, they managed to beat previous king of flippers, Chaos 2 when they got it right out of the arena! They gave them a bit of their own medicine! The robot is named after Mike's (the creator of the robot) three children, Dan, Tom and Kia. It has a brilliant high pressured flipper and not many can beat it.

This Irish team are wonderful sports even if they don't do very well in the arena which tends to be the case most of the time! It has a small flipper weapon. It is covered in fur (red with black dots all over it) which tends to catch fire very easily! Put some bread on it and you'll have toast after the fight! Sgt Bash loves setting this robot on fire.

Team	Peter Redmond, Dr Zulu and Joe Gavin
Weight	92kg
Height	55cm
Length	117cm
Width	104cm

Width	77cm
Speed	30mph
Weapons	Spinning disc
Weakness	Exposed wheels

They boast a brilliant axe which comes down with some force damaging their opposition and they also boast about their plasma nitride coated titanium (basically, painted titanium) which they say is one of the hardest and toughest armour in existence. It sure is hard as almost nothing can get through it!

Team	Paul Tolliday, Elliot Smart, Chris Hall
Weight	100kg
Height	60cm
Length	130cm
Width	80cm
Speed	20mph
Weapons	Pneumatic Axe

Team	Stephen Egerton, Chris Prest
Weight	100kg
Height	84cm
Length	119cm
Width	80cm
Speed	12mph
Weapons	Axe and wedge
Weakness	Flippable

This robot has a flipping arm powered by a carbon dioxide fire extinguisher. It cost £2000 to build and it was built in 3 months. Its top speed is 12 mph. It can move around very easily because of its good go-kart wheels. One of the best tactics is to flip a robot over so it is standing up leaning against the arena walls so it can't self right again.

Team	Graham Bone, Hazel Heslop
Weight	100kg
Height	36cm
Length	110cm
Width	83cm
Speed	12mph
Weapons	Pneumatic Flipper
Armour	Aluminium
Weakness	Poor pushing power because of the 2-wheel drive and not a 4-wheel drive.

Team	Peter Holroyd, Peter Johnson, Richard Johnson
Weight	97kg
Height	20cm
Length	103cm
Width	66cm
Speed	8mph
Weapons	Vicious double-headed spinning axe
Armour	Steel
Weakness	Prone to breakdowns

Got to mention this robot because it was the first clusterbot in Robot Wars. This means that they go into the arena as one robot and then they can split into two. Each robot has a fantastic flipper which can really make other robots fly. If one robot is flipped over, the other can flip it back the right way up again which is a good advantage but rules state that if one of the clusterbots is immobilised, then both are out which is a big disadvantage.

Team	Shane Howard, Brian Fountain, Daryl Howard
Weight	100kg
Height	47cm
Length	160cm
Width	68cm
Speed	24mph
Weapons	High powered flipper
Armour	Steel shell
Weakness	If one bot immobilised, whole bot out. Each cluster is easily flipped and finds it hard to self right.

Team	Dennis Leadbeater, Andrew Leadbeater
Weight	99kg
Height	50cm
Length	120cm
Width	81cm
Speed	10mph
Weapons	Axe / sledgehammer
Armour	Aluminium
Weakness	Aluminium isn't very resistant against heavy blows

That terrifying disc spinning at over 750 rpm can not only scratch robots but pull their whole armour off. Then they go in and take out all the batteries and everything from the inside! They were very close to winning series 4 but Pussycat took out their wheel so they were just sitting their and then Shunt put its axe into the disc stopping that from working. Oh dear but anyway, it is a superb, destructive robot capable of spinning many robots into hundreds of tiny pieces. It has a top speed of 10 mph and it is made out of an aluminium and mild steel shell with custom made wheels. You have to spin to win!

Weight	99kg
Height	86cm
Length	130cm
Width	76cm
Speed	15mph
Weapons	Hydraulic Crushing Arm
Weakness	Weak and exposed wheels

A robot which took part in many series of Robot Wars, especially the early ones. Their robot was very expensive. It cost them £10,000 to build! Their robot is technically advanced but hasn't won too many battles because they often fall foul to the pit of oblivion!

Panic Attack, the pullback replica toy. In the above picture you can see what the robot looks like and also their weapons, the lifting folks.

Champion of Series 2, this 8 mph robot made of aluminium, polycarbonate and bulletproof fibreglass has two electric lifting forks on the front. It has a wonderful paint work on its shell. This robot is able to lift twice its own weight. It has very good pushing power.

Team	Kevin Pritchard, Jamie McGarry
Weight	96kg
Height	130cm
Length	110cm
Width	90cm
Speed	8mph
Weapons	Pneumatically powered lifting forks
Armour	Polycarbonate
Weakness	Slow at self righting

Excellent sports but they don't do very well in the warzone. However, they do very well with their funny jokes and their songs! They wear black and more black with black sunglasses. The robot is always out of control. In the second wars, they drove straight into the pit and in series 3 they never got moving! It is a tracked robot and it is made of aluminium. It has a top speed of 15 mph. You have got to love their songs: "Shout out loud, make lots of noise, there's damage to be done by the plunderbird boys. Gonna stamp on you, gonna hit you hard. Gonna send your robot to the breaker's yard. What's the word? PLUNDERBIRD!"

Team	Mike Onslow, Bryan Kilburn

Width	63cm
Speed	14mph
Weapons	Spinning circular blade
Armour	Aluminium and polycarbonate metal panelling

The brilliant Razer robot. It looks beautiful and is one of the most deadly robots on Robot Wars.

One of the best looking robots on Robot Wars, it has the perfect crushing weapon of destruction. It is made out of aluminium and steel. The only problem with the robot is that it has a very poor reliability and it is known for breaking down often. However, despite its break downs, it has managed to win the world championship twice. Its maximum speed is 11 mph. It has 450 holes drilled into the robot to keep its weight down. The crushing piercer and exert 9 tonnes of pressure! Razer won the Fifth Wars. They also won the first two World Championships, fighting for England.

Speed	15mph
Weapons	Flipper and cutting disc
Weakness	Hard to self-right

One of the best new robots to the Fifth Wars. This awesome destructive robot resembles a hammer head shark shape and their brilliant spinning disc weapon can really dish out the destruction. The team competed as Sting in Series 2 and Sting 2 in Series 3, which unfortunately, did not get very far.

Team	David Barker, Ian Pritchard, Pete Allsopp
Weight	100kg
Height	65cm
Length	90cm
Width	132cm
Speed	20mph
Weapons	20kg vertical flywheel spinning disc
Armour	Aluminium
Weakness	Aluminium armour is not the most resistant against heavy blows.

The team met over the Internet and built the entire robot over cyberspace as well! Gosh! The name stands for Sorry Mate I Didn't See You. The SMIDSY team, for Sumo in Series 4, put salt in the robot's jaws so they could sprinkle it everywhere like with Sumo wrestlers!

Weight	99kg
Height	26cm
Length	120cm
Width	80cm
Speed	10mph
Weapons	Ramming, lifting and piercing jaws and a rear spinning blade

Length	105cm
Width	64cm
Speed	15mph

Height	47cm
Length	102cm
Width	77cm
Speed	10mph
Weapons	Hammer axe and spikes
Weakness	Exposed wheels

Excellent new comer to Robot Wars. They automatically qualified for the Seventh Wars when they won the new blood tournament in Robot Wars Extreme so they didn't have to go through qualifying. It had no weapon then, but a new rule which came out which was that all robots must have a fully working, operational active weapon meant that Storm 2 had to be given a weapon so now it has a lifter. This grey box on wheels can use its awesome power and speed, ram into a robot and flip it right out of the arena. Winners of the third World Championship, fighting for the United Kingdom.

Team	Ed Hoppitt, Tim Bence

Team	John Reid, Dominic Parkinson
Weight	99kg
Height	50cm
Length	125cm
Width	105cm
Speed	12mph
Weapons	Double-headed axe
Armour	Polycarbonate
Weakness	Robot can kick up into the air after the axe has fired.

Their lobster like robot is quite underestimated as it has a very powerful and very impressive flipper which has managed to get robots out of the arena in the past and with the help of Chaos 2 in the Flipping Frenzy battle in Robot Wars Extreme, they managed to flip over Sgt Bash!

Weakness	No self-righter

At first it was an extremely under estimated machine but now it is an incredibly popular fighting battling robot. They can run both sides up so they are almost flipper proof (only flipping them out of the arena can stop them) and their new spinning disc weapon is a great modification. This team can really whip up a storm! They were the winners of the Robot Wars Sixth Wars UK Championships.

Team	Andrew Marchant, David Gamble, Bryan Moss
Weight	100kg
Height	25cm
Length	85cm
Width	70cm
Speed	10mph
Weapons	7kg vertically mounted spinning disc which runs at 2500 rpm which is interchangeable for other weapons, including mini-wedges, electric lifter, bulldozing scoop, flail and drum.
Armour	Welded steel
Weakness	Drive train has been unreliable in the past.

A big new comer to Robot Wars and one definitely to watch out for in the future. Not only have they entered the main UK championships, but they have entered robots (from the Typhoon genre) into light weight and middle weight competitions with Typhoon Twins (a cluster bot consisting of Typhoon Lightning and Typhoon Thunder) and the big daddy, Typhoon. This robot can sure whip up a big storm in a battle completely trashing their opponent with their spinning robot/weapon which spins at just over 100 mph. Huge chunks of armour plating can be ripped off from their opponent and massive damage can be caused. Winners of the Seventh Wars.

Team	Flying Officer Peter Bennett, Cadet Gary Cairns, Cadet Keri Scott
Weight	90kg
Height	60cm
Length	82cm
Width	82cm
Speed	10mph
Weapons	Whole robot spins around at over 100 mph with attached rotating claws/cutters on the robot which wrecks havoc and causes ultimate damage to any robot it comes into contact with.
Weakness	Has no self righting mechanism and is prone to being flipped over at low speeds.

They are a wheely good robot with that fantastic flipper of theirs. Apparently, this flipper can lift up 1 tonne (so they say). It performed well in series 4 but Matilda took off one of its wheels which prevented it from going any further. They failed to flip over Sir K even though he drove right over them!

Weapons	Cutting disc and blades
Weakness	Always lose on a judges decision!

X-Terminator, the pullback replica toy. Their axe weapon is clearly visible. This is what the robot looked like before the Seventh Wars.

X-Terminator can exterminate their opponent by using their fierce spinning disc weapon to cause maximum destruction. The vertical spinning disc can also spin so fast that it is possible to 'spin' a robot right out of the arena and they have achieved this before. It has an aluminium shell.

Team	Marlon Pritchard, Simon Baldwin
Weight	100kg
Height	70cm
