Dantomkia was an unusually shaped robot from Surrey that competed in the sixth and seventh series of Robot Wars. Basically a box-wedge in design, the tips of the wedge stuck out fairly significantly to form two large chisel spike-wedges. By rearing back on its pneumatic rear castor, Dantomkia could spin rapidly on the spot, using these chisels to cut into opponents. Dantomkia's main weapon, however, was a powerful full pressure flipping arm closing to opening in less than a 25th of a second with two tonnes of pressure. This flipper saw Dantomkia through to the semi-finals of both series it competed in.
