Expulsion

Expulsion is a robot which competed in Series 9 of Robot Wars, entered by Brentwood School’s sixth form English department.

Design
Expulsion runs on a two-wheel drive, and uses a unique curved front end. Its armour features several gaps to conserve weight, and the robot’s top is decorated with flame graphics, and the Brentwood School logo. Expulsion’s weapon is a black horizontal flywheel with four teeth. Uniquely, the teeth can retract back into Expulsion’s disc while the flywheel is accelerating. The robot’s name is cut out of the robot’s back panel. However, weight restrictions also required Brentwood’s steel armour to be thinner than the team intended.

Series 9
Expulsion will compete in a currently unspecified episode of Series 9.
