Leighbot

"And the Woodlouse is through!"

- Jonathan Pearce, after Leighbot sluggishly completed the Trial.

Leighbot, was an oddly shaped robot that resembled a coffin, or a woodlouse as Jonathan Pearce described it. It was entered by Leigh City Technical College in Series 1. The robot was armoured in bullet-proof stainless steel and was armed with a rear angle grinder and a front lance.

Series 1
Leighbot charged into the Gauntlet, where it easily got off the turntable and headed straight for the middle route. It was then blocked by Sergeant Bash who jammed the see-saw, but Leighbot managed to make it over, then after dodging the Sergeant headed for the next ramp, where it used an fan attached to the end of its lance to blow the smoke out of the way so that the team could see where Leighbot was going. Leighbot was then clattered by the spiked swinging ball and made it to the end zone in the second fastest time. "More flame and smoke...what's that though? That's a fan! And smoke does not get in your eyes! Magnificent stuff!"

- Jonathan Pearce

Next was the trial which was a game of British Bulldog in which it started slowly, then getting nudged by Scrapper into Dead Metal, then Shunt came in to block, but eventually Leighbot managed to get free and go across the finishing line in third place. For the arena it was drawn against Mortis. The fight didn't go well for Leighbot as the lance weapon was useless against Mortis's tough shell, however Mortis then used its speed and agility to get around Leighbot and use its axe, which soon put a lot of holes in Leighbot's armour and crumpled the lance. Then Mortis managed to get underneath Leighbot and flip it onto a grill, therefore ending the match.
