M.R. Speed Squared

M.R. Speed Squared, pronounced "Mr Speed Squared", is a heavyweight robot, built by Team Forsey to enter the 2016 series of Robot Wars. The robot is armed with a full-body spinning rim, and is also invertible, much like U.R.O. and Corkscrew Two. The rim, made of steel, weighs 22kg, and spins at a force of 80 kilajoules (1000 RPM during the build process), creating high amounts of kinetic energy on impact. The rim is also interchangeable, so the team can pick the most appropriate blade, depending on its opponents. Its armour consists of rubber-mounted 3mm aluminium over a 3mm steel frame.

The name M.R. Speed Squared is derived from the equation that calculates the power of the spinning rim, mass x radius2 = speed, or S = mr2.

Team Forsey had previously competed with Trouble 'n' Strife, and its successor, Revenge of Trouble & Strife, which reached the second round of The Seventh Wars. Revenge of Trouble & Strife was also a full-body spinner, but combined with a flipper. The team decided to forgo the flipper on M.R. Speed Squared to allow the robot to be invertible, and dangerous from all angles.

2016 Series
M.R. Speed Squared will appear in Episode 2.
