Chip

Chip was a Welsh competitor from Series 7. It was an invertible, black box shaped robot which was broader at the back than it was at the front, where the weapon, a horizontal spinning disc with two cutting blades, was situated. A previous design for Chip was a more conventional-shaped blue invertible box, where the disc was interchangable with two ramming spikes.

Chip had a long stream of bad luck in Robot Wars. Although it only competed properly in Series 7, the team had attempted to qualify for every series since the Third Wars, failing each and every time. Finally, after making a brief appearance in the New Blood competition of Extreme Series 2, Chip finally managed to enter the arena for the Seventh Wars. The glory of finally being able to compete was shattered quickly after Spawn Again threw it out of the arena in a matter of seconds, something which the team had expressed a fear of in the pits beforehand.

Extreme 2
Chip hit Edgehog with its disc in the early stages, failing to make much of an impression, so Chip activated the pit. RT81 was pushed into the action by Mr. Psycho, where Chip and Edgehog attacked, causing the walkerbot to catch fire and break down to see Chip through to the next round. Chip had technical problems with its disc, so it was removed for the second round and replaced with a static spike, making it look similar to the original Tornado. It would not emulate that machine's win over Thor, though. A single hammer blow from Thor stopped Chip dead, before it was fried on the flame pit.

Series 7
After four years of failing to qualify, the Chip team utterly wasted its only Robot Wars opportunity. It spent its few seconds in the seventh wars driving near the arena wall, failing to utilise its spinning disc before Spawn Again tossed it high into the air and straight out of the arena.
