Cobra (UK)

"A limited range of offense and an inexperienced team...our snake charm offense will leave this beaten, I think"

- Jonathan Pearce

Cobra was a flat, titanium, invertible machine that fought in the seventh series of Robot Wars. It featured a high-pressure pneumatic spike for weaponry that was concealed by a plush serpent's head, hence the name, but it was only capable of up to five attacks per battle. Its aluminium wheels were covered in golf shoe studs, similar to Wheely Big Cheese. Its less than potent weaponry was noted by many, including Jonathan Pearce.

Series 7
In Round 1 of the Seventh Wars, Cobra went up against Kronic the Wedgehog, The Kraken and Pinser. Kronic the Wedgehog flipped Cobra over, and then Cobra rammed Pinser before attacking The Kraken, rather unsuccessfully, appearing to have lost drive on one side almost immediately after it was turned over. It ran into the side wall and appeared to have immobilised itself by bashing against the angle grinders. The Kraken then came in and scraped Cobra's titanium sheel before Pinser took over from The Kraken and crunched into the aluminium wheel of Cobra, before driving over a spurt of flame and breaking down itself. "Cobra, to be honest...has done very, very little throughout this entire bout."

- Jonathan Pearce on Cobra's lack of mobility

Refbot then counted out both Pinser and Cobra; both were then placed on the floor flipper, flipped, and then placed beneath the drop zone and crushed by falling machinery, still joined together by Pinser's weapon.
