The Cat

The Cat is a robot which competed in the Robot Wars: Battle of the Stars, as part of the 2017 series. It was designed by television presenter Suzi Perry, who was joined by fellow presenter Dallas Campbell on the show. The celebrities were mentored by Craig Danby throughout the competition process.

Design
The Cat is an invertible robot, decorated to look like a yellow cat, with a feline face painted on the robot's hardened wedge. The other side of the robot is armed with a destructive horizontal spinner, with top speeds of 1200rpm. The Cat was capable of causing great damage, but suffered from its exposed wheels, which struggled to carry the robot forwards when its spinner was active, and also had unreliability issues.

Team
The team were collectively known as Team Cat.

"I've waited a long time for this. Tech, tactics and titanium all rolled into one battleground – Robot Wars special, it should be such fun. I've designed the robot, now it's all down to gadget warfare and I can't wait to get into the arena to take on my opponents."

- Suzi Perry

Suzi Perry is a television presenter, most famously known for hosting MotoGP on the BBC over the last 13 years. This, and her history as a presenter of The Gadget Show, made her a good fit for roboteering. Perry captained Team Cat, and designed the robot's appearance.

Dallas Campbell worked with Perry as a fellow host of The Gadget Show. Outside of this, Campbell has worked on a variety of documentaries for the BBC, including Bang Goes the Theory and City in the Sky.

Craig Danby is the captain of Team Danby. After first competing on Robot Wars with antweight Anto, Danby would later enter the heavyweight competition in the 2016 series with Foxic, which reached the second round. Between battles, Danby would make repairs to The Cat to ensure that it is fit for battle.
