"Will the German champions fall into one?"

— Jonathan Pearce

Black Hole was a black wedge robot, similar in shape to UK Robot The Spider, but with two very powerful 4000RPM vertical spinning discs, similar to that of X-Terminator. These red discs were capable of dealing terrible damage or throwing an opponent clean over. It was two-wheel driven, one of which was rotar-driven through a 12V electrometer but was only made from steel and aluminium. Black Hole won the only series of German Robot Wars, defeating Tsunami in the final of that series.

Despite being the German Champion and representing Germany in the European Championship, Black Hole did not return for the Third World Championship, leaving Reaper NP2, I Bot One Beta and Ansgar 3 to fight it out for the chance to represent Germany.

Robot History

Extreme 2

In the first round of the European Championship, Black Hole faced Zeus, the Italian representative, armed with a flipper. Black Hole's very first attack ripped off Zeus's front flipper blade, before another attack flipped the Italian machine over. Zeus tried to get back onto its wheels, but could not self right due to the height of its weapon. Black Hole's discs flipped the Italians several more times, before Mr. Psycho and Dead Metal attacked. By now, Zeus was clearly immobilised and Mr. Psycho dumped Zeus in the pit. In the semi final against Philipper, Black Hole hit its opponent several times before the German machine was flipped over. Black Hole started to shred Philipper's armour, before in a sudden turn of events, Philipper pushed Black Hole straight into the pit.
