PulverizeR

PulverizeR was a competititor robot in both Dutch series of Robot Wars. In the first series, it was known as Pullverizer due to a typo. It was a wide, invertible, cylinder-shaped robot, with a very large vertical flywheel. The flywheel was very efficient at disabling other robots, and powerful enough to flip them over as well. The team were a spirited bunch, who would come dressed in Elvis costumes, much to the delight of the commentators. PulverizeR lost in the heat final of the first series of the Dutch wars, but went on to win the second series.

Since it was the reigning Dutch champion at the time, PulverizeR also competed in the European Championship and The Third World Championship, losing in the first round both times.

Dutch Series 1
Pullverizer's flywheel easily immobilized RCC in the first round. The second round ended quickly as well; the first hit from the flywheel flipped Scraptosaur upside down, and Scraptosaur was unable to self-right. In the heat final, Pulverizer met Twisted Metal, who disabled one of Pullverizer's exposed wheels with its disc. Twisted Metal carried on attacking, warping Pulllverizer's disc and severing one of its wheels. Pullverizer was immobilized, so the house robots put it onto the floor flipper.

Dutch Series 2
Once again, PulverizeR easily immobilized its first two opponents; in the first round it used its flywheel to flip Bluemax clean over, and in the second round it easily disabled Scarab's legs, rendering it immobile. In the heat final, √3 triple-teamed PulverizeR, but PulverizeR's shape made it difficult for the triplets to do much more than lift it. PulverizeR eventually managed to flip over one third of √3, and strip the wheel off another. This meant that two thirds of √3 was immobile and the robot as a whole was out.

In the first round of the grand final, PulverizeR met Twister, who had been given a wild card spot. Both robots spun up their weapons, and Pulverizer used its speed to its advantage, getting around to the back of Twister and attacking it from there. PulverizeR hit the pit release, and then struck Twister hard enough to tip it over. Twister could not self right, and was helpless as PulverizeR pushed it into the pit. In the semi-final, PulverizeR met Scrap-2-Saur for a second time. Unfortunately for Scrap-2-Saur, it had taken a lot of damage in its last fight, and was not working at one hundred percent. Pulverizer managed to flip Scraptosaur onto its back, and it looked like the match would end in a similar fashion to their battle in Series 1, but Scraptosaur managed to get itself back onto its wheels. Scraptosaur made one last brave effort, pushing PulverizeR into Mr Psycho, but its flipping arm was beginning to fall apart, and was immobile shortly thereafter. In the final round, PulverizeR faced Philliper. Philliper flipped PulverizeR many times, with little effect because PulverizeR was inveritble. PulverizeR managed to tear a panel off Philipper before being flipped some more. PulverizeR managed to hit Philliper once more and bend its flipper a little before time ran out. The judges ruled that PulverizeR was the winner of the match, and the second Dutch Robot Wars champion.
