MouseTrap

Mousetrap was a robot that competed in Series 4 and 5 of Robot Wars. It was a wedge-shaped replica of a spring mousetrap, with the trap itself being the weapon. For Series 5, the robot was known as Mousetrap 2 and a blade was added to the trap.

Series 4
Mousetrap entred the wars as a newcomer, although its team had fought in the previous series with Triterobot, losing in their only battle to Evil Weevil. Incidently, they faced Evil Weevil 2, now the 12th seed, in their first round meele of the Fourth Wars along with Tiberius. Team Mousetrap had their revenge this time round, because Evil Weevil never started due to an unchanged battery. Mousetrap, already through, clashed with Tiberius, but no damage was caused. Mousetrap next faced Sumpthing. The low-tech robot attempted to destroy Mousetrap's spring, which powered the weapon.

Series 5
Seeded 20th, Mousetrap was fortunate to pass the first round, as Shredder appeared to be controlling the battle until it lost control and drove into the pit. Mousetrap needed to beat S3 to set up a grudge match with Stinger, however S3 won on a judges decision after a fight where the pair spent the majority of the match stuck together. S3 caused major damage to one of Mousetrap's panels and ripped the decorative spring in the final few seconds, sending it through to the heat final.

Extreme
Mousetrap's only appearance in the Extreme series was in a Mayhem in Extreme Series 1, where it was drawn up against Atomic and Fighting Torque. However, a problem with its trap mechanism left it defenseless as it was continually flipped around the arena by Atomic, finally being counted out and left for Dead Metal to destroy.
