Team Danby

Team Terrafonics (now also known as Team Tanto and Team Danby) is one of the oldest teams in Robot Wars, starting in Series 2, competing in the featherweight championship with Deadline. They failed to enter Series 3 as their event was cancelled, the Super Heavyweight championship with Toxin. They lost their only antweight fight in Extreme 1 with Anto and they also lost both featherweight fights (Extreme 2 and Series 7) with Gi-Ant-O. They used a Sumobot in Extreme 2 as their proper machine wasn't ready. In Series 7, they used their proper machine, but it lost drive almost immediately and was counted out. Series 4 saw them attempt to qualify with a lifter armed robot named Vindicare. In the first series of Extreme, they won their Wild Card Warrior match against Hypno-Disc winning as Hypno-Disc broke down after 30 seconds. They have also failed to qualify with TX-108 and Tanto.

During the qualifiers for Series 5, TX-108 faced future semi-finalist S3. It started well, managing to push S3 around as the machine was suffering from control problems, although S3 did manage to turn and hit TX-108 with its disc multiple times. The match went to the judges with both machines having suffered damage, and S3 was declared the winner.

For Series 6, TX-108 attempted to qualify again and fought Reptirron The Second, but broke down during the battle after one crucial blow from Reptirron's weapon and failed to enter the show again.

At the Series 7 qualifiers, TX-108 was drawn against 8645T 2 and Mighty Mouse, who coincidentally fought in Round 1 of the main competition against each other. TX-108 lost after its aerial came loose and once again failed to qualify for the series.

To date, Team Danby have built at least 132 robots in the past 16 years. "6 versions of Tanto, 3 of TX-108, 2 of Toxin, 1 of Vindicare well over 100 ants and at least 20 feathers, that's 16 years of robot building."

Outside Robot Wars
They competed in Techno Games with TX-108, as RaMyA, (Razer My Arse), minus it's weapon and clad in pink fur working with Pink Pants (a weaponless pink fur clad Pussycat) in the football competition as Team Pink. It also competed in the Sumo competition.

The team also competed in the Sprint Battery event in Techno Games 2001 with a robot called Photophattiephobia, which reached the semi-finals, despite never reaching the finish line. Photphattiephobia was built over a couple of days after Mentorn called the team. It was meant to have 4 legs but didn't due to Photophattiephobia not being finished until half ten the night before the event.
