Artros

"We decided it was time to improve Artros, so he would be ready for the American Robot Wars, or Robot Wars International Competition, or if Battlebots sorted themselves out ... then we would be ready for heavyweight competition."

- Team Artros

Artros was a competitor robot that attempted to enter Robot Wars: Extreme Warriors and The Seventh Wars of Robot Wars. It was built as a school project and had more or less completed the robot, bar the armour and weapons, however Extreme Warriors had been cancelled before they had a chance to enter while their attempt for the Seventh Wars is unknown for their design wasn't fully completed, regardless they did not appear.

Design
"Artros has built in anti roll plates on each side and we have fashioned the back so it cannot be stood upright, so Artros will land on its flipper or wheels and be able to self right."

- Team Artros on its design

The team originally from the Channel Islands had brought and built many of the internals, making most of the robot's internals as a school project before moving to Canada with the robot, once again as a school project for Battlebots, only to not have the chance due to them "pulling the plug", therefore setting sights on US Robot Wars and Series 7 of the UK Series. The robot was four wheeled drive and was geared to go up to speeds of 22mph. The robot was intended to be armed with a powerful flipping arm and a rollover design allowing the robot to constantly roll back onto its wheels and be on the attack. The robot was going to weigh 100kg overall but as of 2003, the components only had a total weight of 43kg.

Outside Robot Wars
Two teammates went on to create two separate robots, with Michael creating a robot called British Bulldog while Jay went on to create DeadKool, with both Robots intended for Robot Wars and Battlebots.
