Hypno-Disc (sometimes spelled Hypnodisc or Hypno Disc) was a low rectangle shaped robot that competed in Series 3, 4, 5 and 6 of Robot Wars, also entering in both series of Extreme. Its main weapon was a horizontal spinning flywheel, the first of its kind, which was capable of ripping opponents' armour clean off. Because of the flywheel, Hypno-Disc was quickly dubbed "the most destructive robot in Robot Wars" in Series 3 and, for its original design, Hypno-Disc was awarded the Most Original Entry Award. Hypno-Disc made the Grand Final three times, one of only two robots ever to do so (the other being Firestorm), and coming second in its first appearance. Hypno-Disc is the only robot to reach three successive Grand Finals (Series 3-5). Hypno-Disc is generally considered to be one of the greatest robots never to win the UK Robot Wars title. (more...)
