Crazy Coupe 88

Crazy Coupe 88 is an invertible heavyweight which competed in the 2016 series of Robot Wars. It was built by a Barnsley-based team, and is constructed from 3mm aluminium checker plate, over Kevlar/Carbon-Fibre under-armour.

Crazy Coupe 88 features a different spinning weapon at each end. At the front of the robot is a 17-inch horizontal bar spinner, which rotates at 2450RPM. The back end of the robot is covered by a vertical disc, which is tipped with elongated blades, in order to try and use the disc as a lifter.

The robot's name is based on the Wacky Races cartoon, and the Kill Bill film series - 'Coupe' comes from the Creepy Coupe car in Wacky Races, while the Crazy 88 gang in Kill Bill determined the remainder of the name.

Crazy Coupe 88 will appear in Episode 5 where it will face Infernal Contraption, Gabriel and Beast in it first round melee.
