Vector of Armageddon

Vector of Armageddon was the first machine from Adam Clark. It was a wide, grey robot with a very upright wedge front. It was entered in the featherweight heat of Series 1 of Robot Wars as it was a featherweight category robot. It used the same speed controller as bomb-disposal robots. It was based on the sucessful American robot 'Wedge of Doom', which won the American featherweight title four years running. It was not as successful, however, going out in the Gauntlet stage.

Series 1
Vector of Armageddon started well getting over the see-saw without much trouble. However the ramp beyond was too steep for it and Vector of Armageddon got stuck, unable to free itself. Because of this, cease was called when Vector of Armageddon had only covered a distance of 8.55m. Although this would normally be a respectable distance to put a robot through to the next round, it was placed sixth and was eliminated from the competition.
