Refbot



Refbot was introduced to Robot Wars as the robotic referee of the show in the year 2000. It was built with a humanoid form and was created with the sole purpose of making sure there was fair play in the arena. Also, Refbot would do the "cleaning up" after the fight; sweeping broken robot from the arena, and pushing immoblised robots to where they could be collected by their often distraught owners.

Attributes
While not made for combat, Refbot comes equipped with a multitude of gadgets:
 * A pair of bulldozing shunts in the front and back are made for separating robots that become locked in mortal combat.
 * An electronic countdown board is mounted on Refbot's chest to count down the defeat of robots. (Introduced in Extreme 1)
 * A fire extinguisher on the right arm, to aid the putting out of fires.
 * A pincer grip on the left arm to help robots when jammed.
 * A light-indicator system with a red/yellow, similar to a football referee. This replaced the pincer on its left arm at the start of Robot Wars: Extreme; it would also to show when battles begin and end and also whether robots are mobile or immobile.  In addition, if another House Robot "misbehaved" (i.e., attacking a competitor when it wasn't supposed to) Refbot would give the offender a yellow card, and if it persisted, a red card, which forced the house robot to stay in its CPZ for the remainder of the match.

Because of its vital role, Refbot was the only House Robot to feature in every battle since its debut.

Noticeable Appearances

 * During the battle with Barabaric Response, Firestorm slid under Refbot, flipped it over, and continued in the battle unfazed.
