Labyrinth

"There are lots of different routes through it, so only a complete idiot would ever end up going down a dead end."

- Jeremy Clarkson demonstrates hypocritical humour as he walks down a dead end.

Labyrinth was one of the Trial events that featured during the first series of Robot Wars. It was a giant metal maze, a large scale version of the one in the Gauntlet. To make the game interesting there were only three entrances for the five robots to use to enter the maze and Sgt. Bash, Shunt and Matilda patrolling the maze.

The robots would start at one end of the maze and had 90 seconds to get to the other side. The task was made more difficult as the house robots were stationed in the maze to slow the competitors down. The robot that travelled the least distance would be eliminated from the competition. If all five robots made it to the other side of the maze, the one that completed it in the slowest time would be eliminated. It is notable that the only time the Labyrinth appeared, the results table was completly innacurate, even to the point where they misspelt Psychosprout as Pyschosprout.
