"A big, black and orange bee on a wedge base with a rotating drill weapon, 750 watt 24V power, but at only 71 kilos, it's the lightest in the heat and could be badly stung!"

— Jonathan Pearce on Bee-Capitator

Bee-Capitator robot that entered Series 5 of Robot Wars, and lost its only battle to Firestorm 3.

Its name was a pun on decapitator.

Design

Bee-Capitator was a roughly box-wedge shaped robot and was designed to resemble a bee, armed with a drill spike on its front for 'stinging' opponents and was covered in flammable fur. It had no srimech and was also very light at 71kg.

Robot History

Series 5

Bee-Capitator is flipped as Firestorm's flipper is wrecked by Matilda

Newcomers Bee-Capitator were drawn against the 7th seeds, the very experienced Firestorm 3, previously Grand finalists and Semi-finalists. Bee-Capitator went into this fight almost 30kg lighter than its opponent, and as the overwhelming underdogs. It did little to shake off this tag as Firestorm 3 avoided the drill and flipped it over, immobilising it. Firestorm however, had its flipper buckled out of position by Matilda's flywheel. Bee-Capitator was roasted and pitted by Sir Killalot.
