Roter Osche

Roter Osche was a super-heavyweight robot that competed in Series 2 of Robot Wars. Its only battle was a Super Heavyweight Championship qualifier, but it became the first robot to be banned from UK Robot Wars on safety grounds. Roter Osche's design was that of a large box shape with an oil barrel on top.

Series 2
When the 8.5 horsepower Honda was started before the match with a few pulls on its power cord, Roter Osche uncontrollably jumped into life. Roter Osche was eventually stopped and the match was deemed safe to start.
