"Will this be employed later in the series, or be picking up a Robot Wars giro?"

- Jonathan Pearce

Gyrobot was an invertible full body spinner with four interchangeable blades, that competed in Series 7 of Robot Wars. The team lacked experience but the robot was very quick at 20mph and its outer ring weighed 35kg and could spin up to 750RPM, generating 40KJoules of energy. It was armed in lexan polycarbonate, originally steel. Gyrobot could also spin at speeds up to 1500RPM by spinning the drive on the spot. Gyrobot cost £2000 to build.
