User blog:Drop Zone mk2/Have You Seen These Robots?

Whislt searching various old sites looking for robots that failed to qualify, I have found descriptions of robots that failed to qualify, but have been unable to find pictures. Has anyone seen a robot matching these descriptions?

If I could find a picture of them, I could probably write an article. Almost like a police investigation, can anyone help find these robots?


 * 1) The Enigma – A tracked robot armoured in aluminium and armed with lifting forks similar to Vlad the Impaler. Failed to qualify for Series 3, the team later planned a rebuild with legs, so may have also tried to enter Series 4. http://web.archive.org/web/20030206110619/http://www.choas.freeserve.co.uk/contents.html
 * 2) Draco – A large, black robot armed with a lifting scoop and an axe. Fought S.M.I.D.S.Y. in the S4 qualifiers, and was rammed into submission. S.M.I.D.S.Y. was given a yellow card for a “jump start”, but still won the audiences vote. http://web.archive.org/web/20020906090947/http://www.smidsy.net/article.php3?content=pre2000
 * 3) Brute Force and Ignorance – A large wedge with a flipper, decorated to look like an elephant. Fought S.M.I.D.S.Y. in the S5 qualifiers, but lost very quickly after being rammed and hit with S.M.I.D.S.Y’s disc before breaking down. http://web.archive.org/web/20020810104456/http://www.smidsy.net/article.php3?content=RWLsheffield
 * 4) Frightmare – A robot which failed to qualify for S5 armed with two spinning discs, which failed to work in the qualifier. Consisted of two articulated, separately-controlled halves, similar to Milly-Ann Bug. Four wheeled, with two on each half. Won their fight against an unspecified opponent after their opponent broke down. http://web.archive.org/web/20020202234742/http://www.danielburke.com/robot
 * 5) Viking – Failed to qualify for S5 after losing a qualifier with Immortalis, S.M.I.D.S.Y. and Trident (which was then under the name Trident). Covered in checker plate, with bike reflectors for eyes, and armed with a disc which Derek Foxwell insisted the team remove for the qualifier. http://web.archive.org/web/20020810104456/http://www.smidsy.net/article.php3?content=RWLsheffield
