Triterobot


 * Not to be confused with the US competitor Tricerabot.

Triterobot was a triangular-shaped omni-directional robot that was Team Mousetrap's original entry for Series 3 of Robot Wars. It had a spike on each corner, was invertible and was described as having no front, back or sideways. It could also emit a smokescreen, however neither this or the spikes helped it as it lost its only battle against Evil Weevil. Strangely, Triterobot did not receive a televised introduction.

Series 3
"They was getting a bashing, there was two robots on 'em, and so I thought I'd make it 2 on 2..."

- Evil Weevil's driver Michael Walsh's explanation as to why he attacked Shunt.

As soon as Activate was called, Triterobot moved quickly towards Evil Weevil and collided with it. After driving into Sgt. Bash's CPZ, Evil Weevil drove onto the Arena Wall and was spiked by Triterabot. Evil Weevil then pushed Triterobot towards Sgt. Bash, who became impaled onto the House Robot by one of its spikes. Then Evil Weevil pushed Triterobot around the Arena floor until reaching Sir Killalot's CPZ. There, Evil Weevil released Triterabot who promptly impaled one of its spikes into Evil Weevil's fibreglass armour and began to smoke. However, this was just a smokescreen to confuse Evil Weevil and the House Robots, and once this had subsided the robots were separated and continued as normal. However, Evil Weevil then attacked Triterobot and turned it on its side, where neither sets of Triterobot's castors touched the ground. Thus, it was stuck on its side and Evil Weevil pushed the immobile robot towards the pit. Missing the final push by instead driving in a curving arc, the House Robots closed in on Triterobot, however Evil Weevil attacked Shunt to help Triterobot, who were enjoying the punishment being inflicted upon their robot.
