Grunt

Grunt was a robot that competed in the first series of Robot Wars. It was a relatively long, thin wedge shaped robot with no weapons of which to speak of. It was also very fast for its size.

Grunt was, in fact, not a real competitor robot, but in fact one of three robots supplied by the Robot Wars team in order to make up the numbers, as only 33 true contenders had taken part (the other two being WYSIWYG and The Mouse). As a direct result from this, Grunt was not permitted to pass through the Trial stage. Thereby, after completing the Gauntlet in the second fastest time, it drove straight off the Sumo platform in the Trial.
