Ghetto-bot

Ghetto-Bot, from Michigan was a weaponless, tracked robot that represented the United States in the Series 4 War of Independence. Its main form of attack was to tip opponents over using its box wedge shape, and was actually a robot built to meet the regualtions of US high school competitions at the time. As a result, it lacked the weaponry to provide a sufficient challenge for UK robot Mortis, in its only televised battle in the UK.

Shortly before the filming of the War of Independence episode, the team entered a competition to build and design robots for specific tasks. They placed 43rd of the 261 entrants.

Series 4
Ghetto-Bot's main tactic of using its wedge shape initially looked effective, as the two machines charged at each other from the start, and Mortis drove over Ghetto-Bot. After this however, the US entrant looked sluggish, and Mortis began landing axe blows that heavily dented the armour plating of Ghetto-Bot. Ghetto-Bot slowly pushed Mortis, but Mortis then shoved Ghetto-Bot onto the flame pit, which caused Ghetto-Bot to break down. Ghetto-Bot was freed from the flame pit, but the axes of Mortis and Shunt rained down on Ghetto-Bot, puncturing its shell as Dead Metal joined in with the circular saw. Shunt pushed Ghetto-Bot back onto the flame pit before cease was called.
