Crusader 2

Crusader  was a low box shaped robot with six wheels and was invertible. It was armed with a lifting ram and was armoured with a polycarbonate shell and a steel chassis. The original Crusader competed only in the Pinball tournament of Series 3, finishing joint fourth with 90 points. Crusader 2 competed in Series 4, losing the second round to Mortis.

Series 3 (Crusader)
As second to go in the pinball competition, Crusader started well, immediately toppling the barrels. Crusader then dodged Sir Killalot and Sergeant Bash to hit the 50 point tire. However Crusader then got stuck on the tire, but eventually got free and hit the Multi-Ball, but then the robot suffered a lack of control and hurtled off up the arena narrowly missing one pit and then hitting a wall and steering into the second pit, thus ending its challenge having scored 90 points.

Series 4
Crusader 2 entered Heat D, and met previous Grand Finalists Steg 2 in the first round, along with Cronos, succesor to Zeus. Crusader 2 drove into Steg 2 and flipped it against the arena wall. Dead Metal then rerighted it. Crusader 2 went on to attack Cronos, while Steg 2 did the same. Crusader 2 rammed Steg 2 again, and Steg 2 caught fire. Dead Metal attacked Cronos, as Steg 2 got stuck against the arena wall. With the combatants quite even, Sir Killalot decided the match by putting Cronos into the pit. Crusader 2 moved through to fight Mortis, the always-bridesmaid veteran. This fight started with both robots spinning to avoid each other. Both robots slid under each other at some point. Mortis then attacked it with its speedy axe, but Crusader 2 escaped and was attacked by Shunt. The robots rammed each other, and a piece flew off Crusader 2. The pit opened, and the house robots attacked Crusader 2, causing it to be eliminated from the competition. Many people viewed the interference of the House Robots to be controversial.
