"Who can stopper, the whopper, that is Chopper?"
Jonathan Pearce fancying Chopper's chances.

Chopper was a robot that exclusively fought in the New Blood Championship of the second series of Robot Wars Extreme. It reached the second round of its heat, before losing to eventual New Blood and future World Champions Storm 2.

Chopper had also originally entered Series 6, but failed to qualify for that series. It is currently unknown how it failed to qualify.

Design

Chopper was a red, octagonal-shaped robot armed with a 1000rpm spinning bar resembling a helicopter rotor blade. It had a steel frame with two layers of amour - a bulletproof polycarbonate top layer and an aluminium bottom layer - and could travel at up to 21mph. However, the weapon was ineffective and fragile, and the robot had no self-righting mechanism, which cost it against Storm 2.

Robot History

Extreme 2

ICU vs Chopper vs Mad Dog

Chopper fights Mad Dog and ICU

In Round 1, Chopper fought against former Series 6 competitor ICU and fellow newcomer Mad Dog. It started slowly as ICU attacked Mad Dog first, before having its spinning blade knocked out of alignment by Matilda, rendering it useless. Chopper then drove onto the Flame Pit, but despite appearing to be immobilised, it escaped. ICU pushed Mad Dog into the arena wall, where Mad Dog stopped moving and was counted out, sustaining damage from Sir Killalot and Matilda as the battle ended. Chopper went through alongside ICU.

Shunt Chopper

Shunt axes the underside of Chopper

Chopper was drawn against Storm 2 in the second round. It did not last long, as Storm 2 rammed Chopper into the wall inside a CPZ, the force of the impact flipping Chopper over onto its back. With no self-righting mechanism, Chopper was counted out by Refbot, before Shunt dragged Chopper with its axe over to the Floor Flipper. Rather than being thrown forward, Chopper was thrown airborne and landed back onto the flipper, but was hurled across the arena after Shunt repositioned it for a second flip. Chopper was left on the Flame Pit before finally being pitted by Shunt.
