Bisyamonten

"Bisyamonten is the creation of University of Hertfordshire’s Masters Of Engineering Project team. It is designed to compete in the BBC television series Robot Wars. Bisyamonten has a sleek double wedged shape, created by a Kevlar Shell, which provides protection from most of the dangers faced by him. He has powerful jaws designed to penetrate and hold the armour of his enemies and a powerful flipping arm to dispatch them into the next life. He is fast and agile, and more than a match for his enemies."

- The team's description of the robot

Bisyamonten was a robot armed with a crushing claw and a rear flipper, it attempted to qualify for the Seventh Wars but ultimately failed to do so.

The robot was built by the University of Hertfordshire's Masters of Engineering Project and was armoured with Kevlar.

The name of Bisyamonten came from the Japanese warrior god who was the God of war. The robot was decorated with Japanese writing and a small piece of artwork of the Japanese god Bisyamonten. It was painted black and red to possibly reflect the look of a samurai armour.

There is little information about how it attempted to qualify other than if failed to do so. According the Robot Wars website it was a heavyweight.
