Draven

Draven was a competitor robot that featured solely in the first series of Robot Wars Extreme. It was a box-shaped robot with a (at the time) unique crushing jaw, which was mounted on a raisable arm, allowing it to lift and self-right. Due to poor reliability, it failed to qualify for Series 4 and Series 5 of the main competition. Draven's only televised battle was in a Wild Card Warriors battle with King B Powerworks during Extreme 1, where it lost via the pit. Similarly to Roadblock, Draven was originally given the name Anthrax and this name was used during the original airing of its sole episode appearance. By the time the episode reached the BBC, however, the name had to be changed due to an anthrax scare in the USA at the time. All usage of the original Anthrax name was removed and all subsequent airings of the episode stayed this way.

Extreme 1
"It actually looks quite nasty, it's little bit of a worry really 'cause we're just the sort of robot he'd like to take on, a nice low flat one that he can get his jaw around and crush it up"

- Simon Harrison before the fight

Draven and King B Powerworks collided, with the following minutes showing not much of note. Draven had a slight advantage as King B's circular saw was not working, but the only chance it received to clamp onto King B was missed, and King B then slid beneath Draven in a Panic-Attack style manouvre. King B then steered Draven into the pit release and dumped the newcomers down; another newcomer had failed.
