Napalm was a competitor from Dartford Girls Grammar School that competed in the second, third, and fifth series of Robot Wars, entering in different guises in Series 1 and 4. All versions of Napalm were essentially the same - a two-wheeled "titanium hull", featuring an axe with two steel spikes as its main weapon. The axe (or the mandibles, its more commonly used name) never did much damage, and was usually very flimsy, but didn't break, just like the rest of Napalm. Originally, the weapon was a chainsaw, which activated when the mandibles were raised, but this broke off almost immediately and was never replaced. Napalm never lost in the first round of any wars, and even reached the Semi-Finals of Series 2. Napalm, not the most secure robot, was once described by one of the team members in the Robopig team as a "pile of junk", which David Crosby, the team captain, agreed on, humorously.
