Sir Killalot



Sir Killalot (also less commonly known as Sir K.) is designed to look like a medieval knight with its name being a pun on Lancelot. Sir Killalot is armed with a rotating drill and a hydraulic cutting claw, adapted from the cutting jaws which rescue services normally use to save trapped victims from car wreckages.

The hydraulics were adapted and refined to give a much faster cutting speed. Sir Killalot also sported caterpillar tracks instead of wheels. The claw is quite capable of lifting over 100 kg (220 lb) of weight, slicing through armour plating and cutting the axles of opposing robots in two. Sir Killalot was built in less than three months and was introduced to the show in 1999. Its description boasted that it had "no weaknesses", though contestant robots have been seen knocking its armor off and setting it on fire. But unlike the other house robots Sir Killalot was often seen as the 'leader' of the House Robots and would often pick up contestant robots on its pike before dropping it into a pit.

Noticeable Appearances

 * As the leader, Sir Killalot was often the robot that roboteers took their grievances out on. One such instance was Roger Plant's Wheely Big Cheese. Big Cheese had been "grilled" by Killalot over the flame pit in a previous series, and Plant and his team were out for revenge from the start. However, despite the incredible power that was Wheely Big Cheese, they were unable to lift Killalot. Many-a roboteer would boast that they could flip Sir Killalot, but in the show's history, no one ever achieved this.

Trivia

 * Despite being very large, Sir Killalot is just the second heaviest robot (behind Mr Psycho), weighing about two thirds as much.
 * Sir Killalot is the only House Robot that has never been flipped.
