Facet

"We've not seen anything as quick as this."

- Jonathan Pearce

Facet was a basic blue wedge shape with a broad flipper capable of lifting 500 kilograms, which competed in Series 3. It could reach a top speed of 48 MPH, a remarkable figure even for current standards of Robot Combat. Facet had an on-board camera (which was unique for a competitor robot) that was located right next to the flipper. However, the armour was rather thin - only 2mm polycarbonate. "That giant flipper, I think, is going to be key"

The flipper was very powerful, throwing Firestorm onto its back during the battle between the two, and also flipping Matilda earlier in the heat. However, this flipper did not extend to self-righting, which would prove to be Facet's demise. In the pits however, Facet did manage to impressively throw Adam Clark's featherweight Armadillo 8 ft into the air.

Series 3
"Facet had a flipping good time with Terminal Ferocity..."

- Jonathan Pearce during the Series 3 recap

In its first battle, one flip was all it took for Facet to defeat Terminal Ferocity. For good measure, it flipped it over again, into Dead Metal. As the House Robots closed in, Facet attacked Matilda and flipped it on its side. In retaliation, Shunt and Sergeant Bash assailed Facet, with Sergeant Bash crumpling the flipper. "I just wonder, if it goes later on in the competition, whether or not the lifting ramp on Facet yawns too wide, and the House Robots get in - as they take on a House Robot! Matilda is turned topsy-turvy by Mike Rickard"

Firestorm hit Facet and pushing both robots off-balance in the next round. Bumping and ramming, Facet finally succeeded in flipping Firestorm onto its back. Firestorm self-righted, and then pushed and flipped Facet against a side wall. This clever move left Facet unable to self-right. With the damage done and Facet immobilised, Sir Killalot came in and impaled its lance into the huge gap underneath Facet's flipper, drilling into it in the process. Sir Killalot then lifted Facet into the air and carried it towards the pit, but failed to drop the robot in before cease was called. "We couldn't get around quick enough, we were going to sit on top of them and stop them from self-righting"
