Stock Robots

Stock Robots were robots provided by the Robot Wars crew in order to make up the numbers in a given event. Only four were ever seen in the history of the show. Three of them (Grunt, WYSIWYG and The Mouse) were required to compete in the first series to add to the 33 geniune competitors. They had the restriction of being unable to reach the arena stage of the heats, hence the trio being eliminated in their Trials having cleared The Gauntlet without much trouble. The three Stock Robots from the first UK series were robots from international robotic combat competitions that took place before their televised appearances.

Outside of the First Wars, Ramrombit was the only Stock Robot ever to be seen. It competed in the Inferno Insurrection event at the end of The Second Wars purely as a sacrificial robot, and along with Nemesis, was sprayed with paraffin and set alight by Sergeant Bash for the entertainment of the crowd.
