Hit Man

Hitman was a heavyweight robot from Bournemouth that failed to qualify for Series 3 of Robot Wars.

Hitman had been kept in the bedroom of the man who built the robot, before being dismantled and sold in 2016. "The chap who built it kept it in a bedroom in a guest house and couldn't remember very much about it, He was quite old. As to what might happen to it next, I guess is in the laps of the Gods."

Design
Hitman was shaped similar to a Thwackbot with an electric lifter and circular saw attacked to a main body with two large wheels that made the robot invertable. Hitman was powered by 3 Bosch 750 Watt motors, one for the circular saw and the others to power the drive. Originally Hitman was painted blue but was soon repainted black. Hitman had two spiked on the back of the robot, to accompany the lifter and Circular saw on the front. Hitman's build meant that it couldn't attempt qualification for Series 4, due to changes in rules.
