Cunning Plan

Cunning Plan was a lightweight wedge-shaped robot from Series 1. It made it through its heat into the Grand Final, where it squared off against Roadblock, T.R.A.C.I.E., Robot The Bruce, Bodyhammer and Recyclopse. During the battle, Cunning Plan ran toward T.R.A.C.I.E. and caught itself beneath its opponent. T.R.A.C.I.E. was raised off the ground and couldn't move, but it was too heavy for Cunning Plan to move out and both were eliminated.

Cunning Plan used its wedge to rush towards its opponents in the hope that they would run up them and flip over. Cunning Plan was sponsored by the University of Reading.

At just under 12kg in weight, it was the lightest robot ever to reach the Grand Final of any Robot Wars series. The team also entered Series 2-3 with Griffon.

Griffon
Griffon was a low box-shaped robot with a lifting arm. It was based on Biohazard, a highly successful American robot, although it was never really very successful. Despite being relatively low, it was quite strong, being able to flip Sergeant Bash during the Internet Insurrection, a side competition for roboteers who thought they had the best website, which it won.

In Series 2, Griffon was eliminated at the very first stage, coming last in the Gauntlet.

In Series 3, it won its first round battle against Daisy Chopper but broke down in its second round match against Cerberus and was pitted.
