Team Bodge-it

Team Bodge-it was a team from Newcastle-Under-Lyme in Staffordshire that entered Series 6 and 7 of Robot Wars with The Stag, also failing to qualify for Series 5. Team captain Terry Martin also entered the Featherweight Championship in Series 7 with Staglet and Whipper. It would have been impossible for the two robots to be in the arena together, as they both had only one driver.

Of the three robots Team Bodge-it entered, only Whipper managed to win a battle, reaching the Featherweight Championship final.

When competing with The Stag, Mark Pepper, who drove the robot, wore a white lab coat, and “Hi-tech headgear”, which he claimed in Series 7 “controlled everything”, including him.

"Look at that! It’s wondrous! All working bits and everything! What an incredible hat!"
