Team Coyote

Team Coyote (Also known as Team Lambsy) were a team that fought in Series 5 and 7 of Robot Wars, as well as fighting in the second series of Robot Wars Extreme.

"It all started when our family was lucky enough to get tickets to the filming of Series 4. My boys Scott (8) and Daniel (5) decided that it would be a good idea if Dad built a robot and appeared on Robot Wars. I said that I would maybe have a go, hoping that they would forget in the months to come. No such chance and I found myself committed to a new project."

- Ian Lockhart on entering Robot Wars

Ian Lockhart decided to start building a robot after attending the filming of Series 4 with his family, being persuaded by his two sons. He built Lambsy, the team’s first entry, with the help of Tony Tobbell, a work colleague of his. Scott Lockhart, Ian’s older son, was the third team member, being weapons operator and Team Captain.

"My background is electronics, so I got together with a friend from work (Tony) and we set about planning a Robot. Tony looks after the mechanics and pneumatics”"

Lambsy first fought in Series 5, where it reached Round 2, and was modified with a disc in the jaws for Series 6, but failed to qualify. The team also fought with Lambsy in Extreme 2, where Scott and Daniel took the controls of Lambsy for the Minor Meltdown tournament. This was the team’s most successful performance, as they finished as runners-up.

Scott Lockhart also entered the featherweight competitions of Extreme 2 and Series 7 with Cutlet.

After failing to qualify for Series 6, the team decided to build a new robot, because they realized that whilst Lambsy was tough and durable, it was not aggressive. The team’s second heavyweight was Ewe 2, which fought in Series 7, also reaching Round 2. It was originally intended to compete in the Minor Meltdown, but was not finished in time.
