Panic Attack

Panic Attack was a robot that competed in the British television game show Robot Wars. It was a short, box-shaped robot painted yellow (gold in series 6) with a large black spider on the top of the machine. Its main weapons were lifting spikes located on the front of the robot, capable of overturning another robot. However, these weapons were not used extensively until series 3. The robot competed in series 2-7 of Robot Wars, winning the second series.

The team captain of the robot was Kim Davies, who was originally joined by Kevin Pritchard and Lee Wicombe. In series 3, Pritchard left the team to create a similar robot named Evil Weevil and Davies was joined by his son Michael and Simon Rosen. Christian Bridge won a competition in Robot Wars Magazine to join the team for series 4. In series 7, Davies quit the team to work as a technical assistant on the show, so the team was entirely changed. Pritchard returned and took over the controls with teammates Paul Wier and then-webmaster of the official Panic Attack website, Jamie McGarry.
