Joust

"The Knights of the Round Table protected King Arthur with their lives. If someone called the king names, tried to steal his pigs, or brought his daughter home with a smile on her face, the Knights were there, to protect his honour. But alas, the Round Table is now a mere legend, and we don't joust for honour, we do it for sardistic tea-time entertainment. Still, there's nothing wrong with that."

- Craig Charles

Joust was one of the Trial events that featured during the second series of Robot Wars. The competing robots would go head-to-head with Matilda on a raised platform. Both robots would start at either end and would have to drive up a ramp and meet the House Robot in the centre and try to push them off. The robot that gained the least ground against the House Robot would be eliminated. Some competitors had difficulty getting up the steep ramp at the beginning leading to minus figures on some occassions.

The only robot to defeat Matilda in the Joust was All Torque, bulldozing and slamming Matilda into the very end zone.
