(There's only 11 in that group)

Being shown the door, but likely to take a while to actually get through it: Jim Struts - Don't think this'll be too popular, but whilst Jim was a great piece of engineering, being the first ever walker in Robot Wars, it just wouldn't be effective in the main competition. It's very unlikely it'd make it through the Gauntlet; any Trial that involved movement would be very tough; and the only thing on its side in combat would be its weight.

Rescued: Whirling Dervish - Again, not sure how popular this'll be, and it did struggle with the Gauntlet, but one of the few machines in the series with a spinning weapon that actually looked dangerous. Very innovative too, with the counter-rotating body shell and some attempt to indicate which direction it was pointing- ok, it didn't really work (which wasn't really their fault), but I like the thinking.
