Diskotek

Diskotek was an American robot that entered the Season 2 of Robot Wars: Extreme Warriors and Nickelodeon Robot Wars. The team boasted their robot had over 3 tonnes pushing power, but Diskotek lost both its first round fights as the drivers were not able to practise with it before entering the arena.

Diskotek was designed and built by Mike Konshak, team captain of Team Robot Dojo, in Colorado and entered by Mike as a second robot with team members gathered from friends in Minnesota and Colorado (who were able to travel), as Mike was busy entering his other robot Propeller-Head in the same season. This was the reason why the Diskotek team was unable to practise driving the robot before its first battle. Diskotek was originally destined to become a super-heavyweight, and although it had many of the same components as Flexy Flyer, Mike Konshak's entrant, and Season 2 champion, of Robotica, it did not have an all-terrain articulating chassis. Most of the weight budget was put into weaponry and armour.

In 2005 Diskotek was donated to the University of Colorado in Boulder to be an autonomous robotic platform for computer science engineering students (without the weapon and weapon motor).

Season 2
Diskotek faced Brawler and Tricerabot in Round 1. The first few minutes seemed normal and it was a rather evenly matched fight, but all three bots drove too close to the pit, Diskotek started spinning in circles and ended up falling into the pit.

Nickelodeon
Diskotek fought in the Mayhem competition, fighting The Revolutionist and Rigby in the first round. The team added a side brace around the wheels to protect them from attacks against The Revolutionist's attacks.

Diskotek darted away from The Revolutionist in the opening seconds but came back into the action by ramming Rigby across the arena. It attempted to do the same to The Revolutionist but one slam from the full body spinner broke small pieces off the robot and left it immobile against an angle grinder. Refbot counted it out and Sir Killalot grabbed the eliminated competitor. Diskotek was placed on the floor flipper and thrown, which actually brought it back to life - only for one more hit from The Revolutionist to immobilise it again. By now the wheel-protecting side brace had been snapped off. Sir Killalot squeezed Diskotek again and took it to the drop zone, with Rigby. To add insult to injury, the pair were pelted by an array of sports balls by the drop zone. Then Rigby's axe managed to land a blow on Diskotek, which actually brought Diskotek back to life again, but the pair had convincingly lost.
