Fat Boy Tin

"They wanted their robot to look like a robot, unlike most others here..."

- Jonathan Pearce

Fat Boy Tin was a tall robot in a humanoid form. It had two pnuematic ramming spikes on movable arms as weapons, which were supposed to rotate fully and allow it to self right, but this feature was removed as it was overweight. As a result, one flip from Vercingetorix eliminated it from the competition. It cost less than £200 in total.

During the post-battle interview, a live snail was found inside the chassis, which Julia Reed remarked as being "The first snail to enter Robot Wars".

Series 4
Fat Boy Tin didn't last too long in its battle against Plunderbird 4 and Vercingetorix, as it was briefly squeezed by Plunnderbird 4. Immediately afterwards, while under pressure from Sir Killalot, Vercingetorix slowly tipped over Fat Boy Tin. The House Robots closed in and did some damage to it, the most prominent being Shunt axing a hole in Fat Boy Tin's smiley face. Fat Boy Tin was flung by the floor flipper, which also caught out Vercingetorix, as it axed Fat Boy Tin's underbelly.
