PP3D

PP3D is a wide, invertible heavyweight robot, armed with a bottom-mounted flywheel, that competed in the 2016 series of Robot Wars, the series for which the robot was built. Its design shares the same advantages as Twister, by covering its entire front and back with the same highly powerful spinner, however its wheels are unprotected.

The bottom-mounted 31kg flywheel, made of hardox, delivers over 20 kilojoules of energy at its tip when spinning at full speed. The robot is constructed almost entirely from 3D printed parts, hence the name.

Having been built by Gary Cairns, driver of Typhoon 2, PP3D essentially entered Robot Wars as defending champion, although the team do not refer to themselves as Team Typhoon, nor did the builder of the Typhoon series have any involvement with PP3D.
