- "The Beaverbot is on its way!"
- — Robotics Club Kinderdijk website[1]
Beaverbot was a robot from the second series of Dutch Robot Wars. Despite having a fast spinning speed and inflicting damage to its opponent, Beaverbot was unable to translate this potential into results, as it was defeated by Impact and axed by Shunt in its only battle.
The team also drove the loanerbot Hoot in Heat E of the same series, replacing withdrawal Reflex.
Design[]
Beaverbot is a tracked dome shaped robot, with yellow, black, and red colouring. Its weapon was a spinning shell with spikes attached. Though the weapon proved to be capable of causing damage, the machine's aerial was exposed and loosened easily. While testing the weapon in the arena, Beaverbot's yellow decorative arms snapped off and went flying across the arena. The team elected to fight without them on.
Robot History[]
Dutch Series 2[]
Beaverbot competed in Heat B, where it was drawn against Impact, the successor to X-Bot.
At the start of the battle, Beaverbot started spinning its weapon. After a brief period of dodging each other, the two machines collided and Beaverbot tore off part of Impact's front, before it pushed Beaverbot with its rear hammer. Beaverbot's aerial started to flap around loosely, before it was torn off by its spinning shell, causing mobility problems. Impact pushed the pit release button and rammed Beaverbot. Impact sustained little damage from the collision, and the attack stopped Beaverbot's weapon. Impact then shoved its opponent into the corner patrol zone where it was axed three times by Shunt, the first blow immobilising Beaverbot. Impact drove over a flame jet and set its hammer on fire, before it struck Beaverbot with the burning weapon, but failed to cause any damage. Refbot started counting out Beaverbot, but Impact pushed the beaten machine into the pit before the countdown could be completed, eliminating Beaverbot from the Dutch Wars.
