Zeus (Italian)

"A Robot Wars God, or a Robot Wars dud?"

- Jonathon Pearce on Zeus

Zeus was an Italian robot, named for the Greek King of the Gods. It was an aluminium box robot with a tall CO2 flipper, that the team boasted could throw a robot from the arena. It represented Italy in the European Championship, only to lose to the German Champion in the first round.

The incredible power of Black Hole was shown in the opening seconds, as Zeus' flipped was sheared in two from the initial contact. Straight afterwards, Black Hole's discs threw Zeus onto its back. As Zeus began to recover, Black Hole threw it onto its side, then onto the remnants of its flipper, stranding it there. Zeus was hammered repeatedly by Black Hole's spinning weapons, finally succumbing to damage and breaking down. It took severe punishment from Mr Psycho before it was counted out by Refbot and pitted.
