Overdozer

Overdozer is a chartreuse (greeny-yellow) coloured heavyweight robot from Falkirk, Scotland, which entered the 2016 series of Robot Wars. The front of the robot is armed with a large, black 'indestructible' static scoop, giving the robot a total emphasis on pushing. Overdozer also has an active weapon in the form of a brushcutter blade at the rear spinning at 6000 RPM, driven by a 2 stroke engine, accompanied by static spikes. The robot’s frame was made out of 25mm steel box section, however the external armour is MDF, 18mm thick. Beyond the wooden armour, Overdozer also has no method of self-righting, and is comparatively lightweight. Overdozer is the only robot in the 2016 series to be equipped with a petrol engine, which is on board to power the weapon.

The team refer to their front scoop as a ‘dozer blade’, hence the robot’s name.
