Skabs

Skabs was an invertable robot armed with a static spike that failed to qualify for Fourth Wars.

Skabs was built invertable in order to survive flipping attacks, even though it had quite a high ground clearance, it could then come back into the attack with the static spike which was, supposedly, capable of piercing any armour. There is little information about its failure to qualify for the Fourth Wars and it's unknown if the team attempted to qualify for other series.

Outside Robot Wars
Skabs appeared in the Debenham Robot Rumble 2000, where it was made to fight Chaos 2 and Wheely Big Cheese due to being invertable. It lost both fights.

"We had to 'nice' the robot up to compete in Techno games, so we thought we would give it a purple paint job; however the paint did not come out the same as was on the tin, it was more pink, hence the name."

- Dave Robinson

Despite the lack of success at qualifying and lack of success at live events it did find some progress in the Techno Games. A spikeless Skabs going under the name of Sugar Plum Fairy competed in the Assault course. It managed to beat Snowstorm and got to the Semi-Finals where it lost to Typhoon Rover.
