Obsidian

"As far as heavyweight robots go, this thing was huge."

- Team RCC website

Obsidian was a large box shaped robot with a slight wedge at the front. It competed in Series 5 of Robot Wars, but lost its only fight against the experienced S.M.I.D.S.Y.. Obsidian was probably named after the Volcanic Glass of the same name, which is also black in colour.

Obsidian has since been sold to Team RCC (a Belgian team that entered RCC in Dutch Robot Wars) who have brought it out of retirement and up to fighting form.

Series 5
Obsidian faced S.M.I.D.S.Y. in its first battle. The robots began by slamming into each other. Obsidian used its pickaxe several times to no effect. S.M.I.D.S.Y. then attacked Obsidian with its spinning disc, shoving it into the CPZ, but it escaped. S.M.I.D.S.Y. then shoved Obsidian into an angle grinder, before it was counted out by Refbot. Matilda then attacked it with her flywheel, causing considerable damage. the House Robots then placed Obsidian on the Floor Flipper, and cease was called after it was launched.
