"The unit is to look a lot like its bigger brother Cataclysmic Variabot and utilizes many of the same systems which are designed to be interchangeable (just in case!!!)"
— Team Variabot website

AM CVn, also referred to by the team as Babybot, was a featherweight robot created by Team Variabot, which competed in the Featherweight Championship of the second series of Robot Wars Extreme. AM CVn was a scaled down version of Team Variabot's heavyweight robot, Cataclysmic Variabot, which appeared in both series of Robot Wars Extreme.

AM CVn was eliminated early on in its only appearance, becoming immobilised in its featherweight Heat after sustaining damage from Argh! and Neoteric. The robot was referred to as AM CV on television.

Design

AM CVn was a box-shaped robot armed with an axe with a 1.5 inch hardened spike at the end. The robot's upper body was made from 16swg aluminium, and it was designed to have interchangeable weapons, although the axe was the only weapon used in its televised appearances.

AM CVn's singular battle in the Robot Rampage against Argh!, Bernard, Eddy Evolution, Gi-Ant-O, Katnip and Neoteric was not shown in full; AM CVn appeared to keep its distance from the other competitors early on, hovering near the CPZ whilst Bernard activated the pit. It missed a hit with its axe on Bernard after the latter was thrown away by Neoteric, and then Argh! chased after it.

AM CVn was then shown to be immobile, having suffered damage to its sides from the spinning weapons of Argh! and Neoteric. Argh! overturned the beaten AM CVn, which was counted out by Refbot.

"Neoteric, Argh!, Katnip and AM CV fought on; the Refbot counting down and out the troubled AM CV."
— Jonathan Pearce

Refbot then reversed AM CVn into the pit, where it joined Eddy Evolution.
