Hellbent

Hellbent was a box shaped robot with a top mounted axe and front lifting forks that entered Series 7 of Robot Wars. It was a brand new machine to an inexperianced team, who had never fought before. The box-wedge robot had two wheels that had metal spiked wheel guards to prevent it from being flipped on its side.

After dominating its heat melee, it was swiftly beaten in the second round by Atomic.

Series 7
In a battle of four newcomers, Hellbent immediately turned over the invertible Mean Strak before axing it a few times. While I Bot One Beta largely stayed away from the action, Hellbent buried its axe deep into Araknia's shell then got its lifter into action. Araknia's spinning blade was hitting the ground as it moved, now in circles. Hellbent chased I Bot One Bet until a slam onto the arena wall from Hellbent on the German machine immobilised the latter. Araknia continually spun in circles until its shell came off, and to make matters worse, it was pushed onto a flame vent, where it was eliminated. "And Hellbent, in their first ever battle...is doing splendidly"

- Praise from Jonathan Pearce

After a superb round one performance, Hellbent lasted just 26 seconds against Atomic in the heat semi final. Atomic missed with its flipper initially, almost flipping itself over before tossing Hellbent into the air, then a few seconds later clean out of the arena. "This is a durable little machine, new to Robot Wars - until that moment!"

- Jonathan Pearce speaking, just as Atomic throws Hellbent out
