Toxic 2

Not to be confused Robot Wars 2016 competitor, Foxic

Toxic 2 is a heavyweight robot, armed with a full-pressure flipper. Although the team did not participate in the original run of Robot Wars, despite designing the original Toxic in 2003, an application for Toxic 2 to enter the 2016 series of Robot Wars was submitted, although ultimately Toxic 2 was not chosen to participate in the series. Prior to this, both versions of Toxic have seen much success at Robot Wars Live Events, and other live robotic events, placing second in the 2012 and 2015 championships, becoming the European Champion in 2013, and most notably, winning the Robot Wars World Championship in 2015.

Robot Wars Live Events
Toxic 2 has been competing on the live circuit for years, with their first notable placement being second place in the Robot Wars 2012 championship, which was won by Big Nipper. Toxic 2 reclaimed this position in 2015, losing out to champions, TR2.

Toxic 2 enjoyed even more success outside of the main competition. In 2013, Toxic 2 won the European Championship, forcing Manta into second place.

The team's most notable achievement was winning the Robot Wars World Championship in 2015. In the first round, it qualified when Gripper was flipped over, and Ripper became stuck comically in the wall structure, although Toxic 2 was pitted by Gravity at the end of the fight. In the second round, Toxic 2 began a continuous streak of throwing robots out of the arena, flipping Brutus and Cherub out, Cherub again in the quarter-finals, Manta in the semi-final, and Thor in the Grand Final.
