Next Q:
15: Who was the first robot to use the flywheel principle for a weapon

(Hint: Its not Hypno-disc or Caliban)

[alex_holt]

Daisycutter / Daisychopper (cant remember which)?

[team_britespark]

Technically it was both DaisyCutter and Wild Wild Willy, both from Series 3.

DaisyCutter had an actual vertical flywheel weapon, whereas WWW had a flywheel powered axe.

[razerdave]

wrong on both counts. Hypno-disc does use the flywheel principle for a weapon, but it appeared before Daisycutter and Wild Willy, and Hypno-disc wasnt the first to use it. Think earlier...
