Philipper

Philipper (sometimes spelled Philliper) was a Belgian robot that competed in Belgian Robot Wars and Dutch Robot Wars. The robot was described as "fish-like" by Jonathan Pearce and was armed with two flipping weapons, one on the front and one on the back. Philipper 2 had a similar design, but the front flipper was replaced by a crushing claw. Both robots had decent weapons and incredible traction, but suffered from a lack of speed.

The Philipper team was very successful, winning the Belgian Championship and finishing as runner-up in the second series of Dutch Robot Wars. They also had success in international competition, finishing as runner-up in the European Championship. The team also competed in two Robot Wars World Championships, the second with Philipper and the first with their previous robot, Depoppesaurus Rex.
