Hypno-Disc

Hypno-Disc was a low rectangle shaped robot that competed in Series 3, 4, 5 and 6. Its main weapon was a horizontal spinning flywheel, the first of its kind, which was capable of ripping opponents armour clean off. Because of the flywheel, Hypno-Disc was quickly dubbed "The most destructive robot in Robot Wars". In Series 4, a side mounted self-righting arm was added. Hypno-Disc made the Grand Final three times, coming second in its first appearance. The Hypno-Disc team consisted of Dave and Derek Rose, twin brothers, and their father Ken. The Hypno-Disc's motto was "Spin to Win", a motto soon adopted by many a roboteer.
