Overdozer

Overdozer is a yellow heavyweight robot from Falkirk, Scotland, which entered the 2016 series of Robot Wars. The front of the robot is armed with a large, black static scoop, giving the robot a high emphasis on pushing. Overdozer also has an active weapon in the form of a brushcutter blade at the rear spinning at 6000 RPM, driven by a 2 stroke engine, accompanied by static spikes. The robot’s frame was made out of 25mm steel, however the external armour was merely MDF, 18mm thick. Beyond the wooden armour, Overdozer also has no method of self-righting, and is comparatively lightweight. Overdozer is the only robot in the 2016 series to be powered by a petrol engine.

The team refer to their front scoop as a ‘dozer blade’, hence the robot’s name.
