Vortex Inducer

Vortex Inducer was a uniquely designed competitor of Dutch Robot Wars: Series 2. It had two wedge shaped sections with a spinning disc in-between that could be positioned horizontally or vertically. Despite the interesting weapon configuration, it barely moved in the arena and was swiftly eliminated from the wars.

Dutch Series 2
Vortex Inducer was drawn against middleweight walkerbot Scarab in the first round of Heat E. Vortex Inducer's disc was spinning, but both machines lurched forward at such a slow pace, the house robots chose to push the machines together. When the two competitors made contact, Scarab used its pincers to halt the twisting disc. It was evident that Scarab was still mobile but Vortex Inducer wasn't, so the Refbot counted down Vortex Inducer. Sir Killalot seized the loser and picked it up. The house robot then used his pincer to snap the thin axle holding Vortex Inducer together before the pieces pushed onto the floor flipper by Sgt. Bash and tossed through the air. The house robots weren't finished; a kitchen cooker was dropped onto the robot, before the largest chunk of Vortex Inducer was dumped out of the arena by Sir Killalot.
