Rick

Rick was a silver wedge robot that competed in Series 5 and 7 of Robot Wars. It was relatively small, compact and was also invertible, with a flipper at the front and a bludgeoning disc at the back. The robot enjoyed a small amount of success in Series 5, making the Heat Final, before being beaten by Razer. In Series 7, however, it was eliminated in the first round on a Judges' desicion.

Series 5
Suicidal Tendencies dominated the fight, shoving Rick about, winning the judges decision. However, due to motor problems Suicidal Tendencies withdrew, leaving Rick to dispose of Destruct-A-Bubble. In the Heat Final, Razer repeatedly punctured Rick. It was counted out by Refbot before being flung by the floor flipper. Despite Razer being pitted by Sir Killalot, Rick was out of the Fifth Wars.

Extreme 2
Rick fought in the Minor Meltdown. As Francis Gallagher drove the robot usually, they had more experiance than most of the other teams in the competition. It soundly dispatched of Tetanus 2, who vainly attempted to use its srimech. After a battle of tussling, Rick flipped Tetanus 2 again and it was pitted by Killer Carrot 2, which put Rick through to the next round. Rick's luck ran out in Round 2, as it met the most experianced team in Bigger Brother. It still put up a strong fight, but failed to cause any lasting impression on Bigger Brother. The Watts machine flipped Rick over, whose flipper seemed to have run low on gas and was unable to self-right. Rick was attacked by House Robots and pitted by the bladeless Dead Metal.

Series 7
"Old fashioned? I wonder."

Rick returned for Series 7, and was placed in Heat C with King B Powerworks, Hassocks Hog 2 and the seeded Dantomkia. The opening clashes were over in a flash, resulting in Hassocks Hog 2 largely out of the action. Rick was unable to flip, and its clearance was abused by Dantomkia. Pushing, Rick was very nearly thrown out of the arena. Rick ended up on its back, and self-righted unsucessfully, as it ended up on its side. Rick continued to try and right itself, but was attacked by Dantomkia as well as King B Powerworks. Another very close Out of the Arena flip, and time ran out. "Rick slammed. Dantomkia and King B together, almost like a Tag Team, on poor old Rick...Look at the damage caused to Rick...Rick I think will be the other decision excluded by the judges, because Dantomkia and King B Powerworks were just too strong"

- Jonathan Pearce

Rick was eliminated on a split decision.
