- "Backstabber just goes to show what you can do in after school hours - at school, using school electricity and knackered school teachers!"
- — Philippa Forrester introduces Backstabber
Backstabber was entered into Series 3 of Robot Wars by a team from a tech school. It lost in the first round to Razer.
The team also tried to enter Backstabber into Series 4, but they failed to qualify. The team didn't compete in Robot Wars after this.
Design
Backstabber was a long, high wedge robot, featuring a rear axe that stabbed backwards, hence the name. The pole was tipped with a chisel capable of punching through sheet steel, and the main body had various devices to neutralise cutting/stabbing weaponry of other robots. Backstabber's wheels were exposed, but its high body managed to protect it from severe harm from crushers.
The Team
Backstabber was entered by a team from Dixons City Technology College. The team captain was Howard Sanford, who was the teacher, whilst students Luke Perkin and Sanjay Patel controlling the robot.
Robot History
Series 3
- Stuart McDonald: "From Bradford, Backstabber."
- Jonathan Pearce: "But don't try to stab this robot. It's got various devices to neutralise stabbing weapons. Its own ramming spike and thrusting arm can wreck havoc though. At one metre high, it's the tallest in the heat."
- — Backstabber's introduction before its battle
Backstabber had very little to show for in its only battle in Robot Wars, where it fought Razer. Backstabber was fairly sluggish at the beginning of this fight, though it slowly drove forward to start and quickly turned round to use its stabbing arm on Razer. However, it was seemingly immobilised immediately after Razer attempted to crush it but the wedge shape was difficult for the claw to get a hold on and it could only scratch down the side. Instead, Razer made a run-up and managed to plough Backstabber into the pit, just as Backstabber's weapon came crashing down onto Razer, nearly dragging it onto its side. This caused no damage, though. The school robot was beaten after just twenty seconds of fighting.
