Hot Pants

"Hot stuff? Or simply pants"

- Jonathan Pearce introduces Hot Pants

Hot Pants was a box wedge shaped robot that competed in Series 6 of Robot Wars. The robot also failed to qualify for Series 4 under the name Big Pants. It was armed with a pneumatic axe as its weapon, it also featured a silver bauball underneath its axe, just like Team Panda's antweight Pants when it entered in Extreme 2. However this this did not help it, as it lost its only battle.

This was the first robot from Team Panda that was seen in the main competition since Panda Monium in Series 2, but the first robot from Team Panda to qualify with coming in as a reserve like Panda Monium had.

Pete Collier and Steve Brackenwell also went into their Series 6 heat with large wigs on them whilst wearing very outlandish and colourful shirts.

Series 6
In Heat H of the Sixth Wars, Hot Pants went up against Ming 3, The Hassocks Hog and Spam in its first round melee. The battle started fairly quick with Spam charging around the arena. Hot Pants spun away from a Ming 3 charge and then manged to axe one of the fluffy ears of The Hassocks Hog, but its axe caused little to no damage at all, the axe was also then stuck down. Hot Pants then seemed to break down and pushed around the arena by Spam. Ming 3 then crushed into the insides of Hot Pants, doing some damage, then pulling it over to the flame pit. Hot Pants was then counted out by Refbot, eliminating it from the competition. Hot Pants was then pushed into the pit by Sergeant Bash. It was immediately followed by Spam, however, the judges believed that The Hassocks Hog was immobilised for longer, so Spam survived to go through to the second round of the heat along with Ming 3. After the battle, it was found that Hot Pant's power key had fallen out, thus immobilising the robot.
