"Powered by a scooter engine, cost £400 to build with a nose axe and battle sled as weaponry and a Kevlar body shell."

— Jonathan Pearce on the armament, power and weapon

Binky was a long, drum shaped robot with a huge "battle sled" as its weapon so that the robot could turn at 360 degrees around the turret. It had a kevlar bodyshell and cost £400 to build. Although it was rather sluggish in its only appearance, Binky was capable of travelling 50mph, the fastest in the series, due to its 80cc Scooter engine for power. Binky was also one of the largest robots that participated in Series 3 of Robot Wars. Binky was a substitute robot for Daisy, who broke down and was unable to participate in the battle. Binky lost in the first round against Aggrobot.

Robot History

Series 3

Binky originally failed to qualify for Series 3, but was still used as a reserve robot for the series, and after Daisy was forced to withdraw due to mechanical failures, Binky was brought in at the last minute.

"Binky has been brought in from the substitute's bench, with plenty of time to prepare"

— Jonathan Pearce

In the first round of Heat C of the Third Wars, Binky was placed up against fellow newcomers Aggrobot, another very large robot. In the battle, Binky's body allowed it to weather Aggrobot's spike attacks, but then Binky broke down after being struck by an arena spike. Binky was then attacked by the house robots until cease was finally called, and was eliminated from the competition.
