Corporal Punishment

Corporal Punishment was Adam Clark's entry for Series 2 and 3 of Robot Wars. It was a silver box shape, featuring a lifting scoop which doubled as a ramming device. The scoop was made out of wire frame in Series 2, before being made into a smooth plate for Series 3. The robot had 2-wheel drive and a zero turning circle.

Out of Adam Clark's robots, it competed the longest, across two wars.

Series 2


Corporal Punishment was well driven into the Gauntlet, negotiating the ramrig but running into Dead Metal, who shoved it right back. However, Corporal Punishment dodged and ran to the end zone, the first to complete it in the heat. In the Sumo, Corporal Punishment ran into Shunt's side, tires screeching in the heave. Shunt reversed away and fell off the edge, leaving Corporal Punishment victorious. Against Disruptor, Corporal Punishment ran into the circular saw with its scoop, before reversing into the black wedge and pushing. However, it reversed into the CPZ and was immediately attacked by Matilda, Shunt and Bash. Corporal Punishment resisted the damage, and escaped to ram Disruptor several more times. The battle went to the judges, with Corporal Punishment eliminated on the close decision.

It also participated in the Internet Insurrection, where it was pinned down by Sgt. Bash and immobilised.

Series 3
Returning to Series 3 with a solid flipper, Corporal Punishment once again lost in the first round, in the main competition. Its opponent Ally Gator slid beneath it and kept it off the ground for the entirety of the battle. Sir Killalot eventually came in at the end and flipped Corporal Punishment onto its back, ruling it immobilised and out of the competition.
