Dantomkia

Dantomkia was an unusually shaped robot from Surrey that competed in the sixth and seventh series of Robot Wars. Basically a box-wedge in design, the tips of the wedge stuck out fairly significantly to form two large spike-wedges. By rearing back on its castor, Dantomkia could spin rapidly on the spot, using these wedges to cut into opponents. Dantomkia's main weapon, however, was a powerful flipping arm. This flipper saw Dantomkia through to the semi-finals of both series it competed in.

Dantomkia was created by Michael Lambert. He gave it its unusual name after his three children, Daniel, Thomas and Kiara. Dantomkia won the Most Promising Newcomer award in Series 6 and also holds the record for flipping other robots out of the arena, with a total of nine opponents defeated this way. Perhaps ironically, one of these robots was the original record holder, Chaos 2, who was also the first to perform the action.
