Hobgoblin

Hobgoblin is a heavyweight robot which competed in Series 9 of Robot Wars. It was built by Harry Hills, who competed in the previous series as part of Team Legion.

Design
Hobgoblin's weapon is referred to as an ‘egg beater’, which weighs 20kg and spins at 2500rpm. Shaped somewhat like the letter A, this has a diameter of 250mm to deliver a tip speed of 80mph. Hobgoblin runs on a four-wheel drive, and its 5-inch wheels are custom-made from plastic billet, wrapped in bike tyre for extra traction. Hobgoblin's front wedge is low to the ground, and leads other robots into the egg beater. Hobgoblin's frame is made from HARDOX and water-cut high-grade aluminium, and both the weapon and drive system are powered by 4x 2s Lithium Polymer batteries.

Series 9
Frostbite will compete in Episode 2.
