Sir Chromalot was a small circular shaped robot that competed in Series 3-6 of Robot Wars, also competing in both series of Extreme. Its name was a pun on Sir Lancelot, one of the Knights of the Round Table in the King Arthur legends. Constructed from the hub of a lorry wheel, Sir Chromalot's weapon was originally a spike with a cobalt cutter on the tip. After being flipped over in Series 3, it added a large tower srimech, which meant that Sir Chromalot could only land on its side, where self-righting arms could push it back onto its wheels. However, this took up weight that would be reserved for weaponry, and was removed. For Series 5 and Extreme 1 onwards, the spike was removed and replaced with a flipping arm.

The team members of The Hub Nuts (commonly called the Class Act) were excellent sports and comedians, always guaranteed to get a laugh. On many occasions the team, in particular the captain, Steve Merrill, would make a joke out of the competition and fuss over things such as outfits. Frequently, The Hub Nuts would arrive in limousines and Rolls Royces, accompanied by bouncers, tailors and pom-pom girls. As a trademark, members of the Hub Nuts always dressed in tuxedos.
