Tartarus

Tartarus was a robot that resembled a dragon that competed in the second Dutch series and the seventh UK series. Martin Scholten, the builder of Tartarus, was unable to attend filming of Series 7 so Bryan Cutler, the captain of Reaper NP2, and Michael Hanser, the captain of Sniper who lost in the qualifiers, entered the robot in his place. The team jokingly claimed that Scholten was a top secret agent who was currently on a secret mission. Tartarus had a hydraulic claw as its weapon, but no self-righting mechanism. The head could be "bowed" down to increase the attack range of the weapon, but this feature was never seen in battle.

Tartarus had previously entered Series 2 of Dutch Robot Wars. This version of Tartarus featured a crusher in place of the hydraulic cutter, a small flipper at the rear, and an arm with a small set of pincers. This version did not have any success either, breaking down just seconds into its first battle.

Dutch Series 2
Tartarus kept its sides pointed at Trazmaniac in order to deflect its foe's spinning drum. However, Trazmaniac soon got around to its front and charged at it, immobilizing it on impact. It was counted out and dumped into the pit by Shunt.

UK Series 7
Less than five seconds had elapsed when Behemoth flipped Tartarus into Shunt's CPZ. Tartarus did not have a srimech, so it was pinned onto the arena wall by Shunt and eventually the Refbot counted it out before Dead Metal came in and attacked it.
