Groundhog

Groundhog was Team Firestorm's original entry for Series 2. It was a basic box-shaped robot with four wheels on the end of four protruding legs, giving it a very high ground clearance. These wheels were unique in that they had special rollers inside the tyres, allowing it to skid sideways. This type of wheel would later be used by Razer. Its weapon was a horizontal cutting disc at the front of the robot.

Series 2
Groundhog survived the Gauntlet, despite moving very little. Getting caught on the ramp, Sir Killalot came over to lift it up, but the weight was too great and Killalot was pulled over. In the Trial, its long-legged shape made it difficult to handle the ball. However, it was defeated by Loco in the Arena Semi-Finals after being caught in the PPZ by the House Robots and nudged into the pit. The long legs meant that once a leg was in the pit, the rest of the robot followed.
