Spawn of Scutter

Spawn of Scutter was Team Scutterbots' second entry, which competed in Series 4. It was a completely new design from its predecessor, a blue invertible box shaped robot with a front wedge, in which a pneumatic spike was concealed. This spike was designed primarily to flip other robots over, and would fire at 120 miles per hour.

Spawn of Scutter was the only one of the team's three robots not to break down. In addition, Spawn of Scutter was the only Semi-Finalist in Series 4 to compete in the UK Championship, the Pinball, the Sumo Basho and an Annihilator.

Series 4
Spawn of Scutter, seed number 10, competed against Knightmare and Banshee in the first round. It drove into Banshee, which rotated to use its weapon. Spawn of Scutter then got under Banshee, and used its spike to fling Banshee across the arena. Shunt decapitated Banshee, putting the seeds through. After tossing Vercingetorix around the arena in the second round, Spawn of Scutter rammed Knightmare until it broke down, putting the Spawn team through again.

However, Spawn of Scutter was drawn against previous champs Panic Attack. It drove over Panic Attack, which lifted it and pushed it into the arena wall and Shunt's CPZ. Spawn of Scutter tried to use its spike, but Panic Attack lifted it and wedged it on the arena wall.

Spawn of Scutter placed a close second in the Pinball with a score of 245 points. Considering that the winner, Gemini, was a clusterbot, it was very impressive that Spawn of Scutter could almost match the efforts of two robots; there was only ten points between first and second.

Spawn of Scutter was placed 10th in the Sumo Basho tournament after being pushed off the platform after 8 seconds.

Spawn of Scutter also entered the Southern Annihilator, flipping Onslaught over with its spike and moving through to the second round after Vercingetorix broke down, but was crushed and immobilised in the second round by Razer.
