Pod

Pod is an invertible heavyweight which was chosen to compete in the 2016 series of Robot Wars, but was forced to withdraw due to being overweight.

Pod features three interchangeable weapons depending on which would best suit the match it entered. The robot could be armed with a vertical lifting arm, a horizontal bar spinner, and a vertical drum. Each weapon was housed within an interchangeable pod, hence the name of the robot. Tony Smith claims that, had Pod competed, it would have featured the fastest spinning weapon in the series.

Pod has now been disassembled, with the team intending to create a second version of the machine.

2016 series
Pod was due to compete in Episode 5, although it withdrew when the robot was deemed overweight, and was replaced by Pulsar, which had previously withdrawn from an earlier heat.
