"I'm not sure if you've heard, in the news in the last few months about factory chickens, not having to have such small cages...Well this is what happens!"

- Philippa Forrester in Series 6

Robochicken was a series of basic wedge-shaped robots resembling a chicken which entered Series 4, 5, 6 and 7 of Robot Wars, also entering in the second series of Robot Wars Extreme. It had an axe that looked like a chicken's beak and a flipper that resembled a tail feather. The axe was decorated with ballcock eyes and a red rubber glove crest while the shell and chassis were both sprung steel. In Series 5, the team entered a slightly different design in a robot called Robochicken-Evo, which was dome-shaped rather than wedge-shaped and had a broader flipper arm capable of lifting 100 kg with ease, before reverting to a design more similar to the original for Series 6.
