"The actual design is based on the classic world war one tank. This will allow it to continue operation after being tipped over, reducing the advantage wedge type robots have. The only problem is the tracks which require lot of power that is controlled well enough not to cause them to slip off the runners."
— The Beezlebub website on the robot's design.

Beelzebub (pronounced as "Be-el-ze-bub") was a robot which attempted to enter for Series 3 of Robot Wars. However, it failed to qualify for currently unknown reasons.

Design[]

Beezlebub was an invertible, tracked robot with a design based on that of a World War One tank. It was armoured in 2mm steel and built around a steel subframe, and intended to be driven by angle grinder gearboxes which would allow it to reach a hypothetical top speed of 15mph with a 1:2.5 gear ratio. It is unknown what weapons Beezlebub was planned to be equipped with.

Etymology[]

The robot's name presumably derives from the Semitic Demon of the same name, better known as "The Devil".
