Wheelosaurus

Wheelosaurus was a robot with two large Victorian Pramwheels. It was made from recycled parts such as dustbin lids. It competed in Series 2 and 4 of Robot Wars, getting to the Heat Arena Semi-Final and Round 2 of its Heat respectively. Its weapon in Series 2 was a set of spikes, whilst in Series 4, it was a spinning blade. In both cases, the wheel hubcaps had spikes of them.

Wheelosaurus was an axlebot, a type of robot where the body and weapon were built directly around the wheel axle. Wheelosaurus was the very first type of axlebot seen in Robot Wars, but one of few not to feature a torque reaction style weapon system.

Series 2
Wheelosaurus tackled the middle route of the Gauntlet and after getting through the barrels and over the see-saw it got pinned by Sergeant Bash. While flailing around it managed to knock off Bash's Flamethrower, which caused an evacuation of the building. It did however achieve 11.7m, placing it fourth and qualifying for the Trial. The next round was Tug of War, in which Wheelosaurus managed to survive 18.11 seconds, after some wheel spinning at the start to the end with Dead Metal almost toying with it. It again finished fourth to reach the Arena. In the arena it met Chaos and was pushed into the PPZ where Seregant Bash attack with the flamethrower, and Matilda went for the wheels with the chainsaw. Wheelosaurus was then pushed into the corner against the angle grinders, and pinned in by both Shunt and Matilda, Shunt getting in multiple blows with the axe. Cease was called, and Wheelosaurus was eliminated.

Series 4
Wheelosaurus was now armed with a strimmer blade, and in Round 1 it met Prizephita II and Wheely Big Cheese, immediately being flipped twice by Prizephita as Wheely Big Cheese went after Sir Killalot. Wheelosaurus then span around the arena before being attacked by Dead Metal, and then finally being pitted along with the others as cease was called. In Round 2 it met Suicidal Tendencies, although before the fight began Peter Gibson admitted that the robot was in a very bad way and was unlikely to be able to do anything. After activate was called, Wheelosaurus failed to move, and was pushed around the arena by Suicidal Tendencies. Petrol then began to leak from the back of the robot, and as it was pushed ono the flame pit it caught alight, and sending Wheelosaurus out of the competition.
