Spartacus (Lightweight)

"Spartacus in all his glory (yes those teeth can bite) after his one and only fight / mêlée with Damacles, Rosebud, Shadow Fiend and Slippery Strana on August 20th 1998. If you missed it - don't worry - so did everyone else!"

- On the team's website

Spartacus was a box wedge shaped Lightweight robot from Team General, that was entered in the Series 2 Lightweight Competition. It was bronze coloured and was armed with crushing claw. Its drive wheels were hollow, so the team filled them with cement to bring the robot up to the weight limit. However it lost in its only battle to a judges decision.

Spartacus was succeeded by Hazzard which the team had planned to enter Series 3's Lightweight Competition, but this competition was cnacelled due to a behind the scenes accident. However they still managed to get to the Final of the Robotic Soccer Tournament with, The General.

Series 2
Not much of this battle is known. However most of the competitor robots were set upon by the House Robots with Slippery Strana coming off worse. Spartacus was quite aggresive, but this didn't seem to help it as the match ended and the judges decided that Slippery Strana was the Lightweight Champion.
