T-Wrecks

T-Wrecks was a robot from Willow. It was a flat, invertible disc robot with 8 serrated teeth. It fought exclusively in Series 7 of Robot Wars, however a previous version of this machine was intended to fight in The Third Wars, but withdrew from the line-up in the last minute, and future Grand Finalist Steg-O-Saw-Us took its place. The interior of the robot was protected with a steel core, and the only vulnerable point was the receiver, as there was no room to include it within the core. "A "bit bad"? It's like an aeroplane without wings, basically"

- Jonathan Pearce on T-Wrecks' receiver Its name is a pun on the dinosaur T-Rex.

Series 7
In Series 7, T-Wrecks was drawn against World Championship competitor Hard, and veterans Kat 3 and Velocirippa in the first round. It was pushed into the CPZ, taking hammer blows from house robot Mr Psycho. Little puffs of smoke began to appear from the machine, but T-Wrecks spun up and continued to move. Velocirippa charged T-Wrecks, bouncing off it and away. T-Wrecks became beached on the wedge shape of Kat 3, but it was then flipped by Hard. It then landed on Hard's wedge shape, the Belgian robot reversed and pushed T-Wrecks into the pit, eliminating T-Wrecks from the competition. It was soon joined in the pit by Velocirippa.

Trivia

 * T-Wrecks, as a thwackbot, had no active weaponary. Although the rules for Series 7 stated that all robots required an active weapon, T-Wrecks was still allowed to compete. Despite this questionable lifeline, it lost in the first round after being pitted by Hard.
 * The team also entered Series 3 with a wedge shaped robot armed with a spinning blade, also called T-Wrecks. The robot qualified for the show, although an unknown accident occurred in the arena which forced T-Wrecks to withdraw from the competition, and one of the reserve robots, Steg-O-Saw-Us, competed in its place.
