Doomba

Doomba is a heavyweight which was chosen to compete in the 2016 series of Robot Wars, but was forced to withdraw due to motor problems. The team were Southampton-based employees of the video games company Multiplay.

Doomba's name is derived from the Roomba robot vacuum.

2016 series
Doomba was due to compete in Episode 3 of the series, against Supernova, Or Te and Big Nipper, but withdrew after all of the robot's motor controllers became faulty, and was replaced by the eventual heat winner, TR2.
