Series 6

Comengetorix was placed against Warhog, St. Agro and S.M.I.D.S.Y.. It clashed with S.M.I.D.S.Y., lifting the Cyberspace robot, but failing to flip it. It rained axe blows down on S.M.I.D.S.Y., pushing it and Warhog into the arena wall. It was bumped by Warhog, before speeding across the arena and impaling itself on the arena wall with its axe. Growler tried to rip it free, but failed. Comengetorix pulled free, and drove very nearly into the pit. Meanwhile, S.M.I.D.S.Y. shoved St. Agro into the pit, while Comengetorix fled the House Robots. Finally, after a prolonged piggyback, S.M.I.D.S.Y. pitted Warhog, putting itself and Comengetorix through to the next round. It met Hydra, a similarly designed robot. Hydra tossed over Comengetorix, but it self-righted. However, it had become noticeably more sluggish. Comengetorix tried to use its axe, but failed to hit anything. Hydra pushed Comengetorix up onto the arena wall, pounding it with the hammer, and leaving it perched. After it shook itself off, Comengetorix's lifter snapped in half. Although Comengetorix grabbed Hydra with its axe, it failed to pit its adversary, and it lost the judges decision.

-'''Comengetorix''' was a box-shaped wedge robot that competed in numerous series of [[Robot Wars]], but didn't progress very far. Its name was formed by adding the suffix "orix" to the quote, "Come and get 'er". It looked a lot like seasoned competitor [[Mortis]]. Its armour was made from aluminium with titanium top panels.

-'''Vercingetorix''' was the team's original entry, named after a Roman Gaul. It was originally a box shaped robot with a slight wedge, but then changed to a more conventional box-wedged shape, much like Comengetorix. It was originally equipped with a front forklift with side rams, but then changed to an axe and lifting arm, much the same as [[Mortis]]. Its armour was kevlar and lexan, and also like Mortis used tracks to get around.
-===Series 2===
-Vercingetorix progressed steadily through the heats, making 5.1m in the Gauntlet and surviving [[Dead Metal]] in the Sumo, eventually coming up against [[Haardvark]] in the Arena Semi-Final, where it suffered a mechanical problem and was pitted by [[Sir Killalot]].
-===Series 3===
-In Round 1 of its heat, it started a cautious sparring match against Terrorpin, as they both tried to push each other into the CPZs. Eventually, Terrorpin shoved Vercingetorix into the pit.
-===Series 4===
-Vercengetorix dominated its first round melee, tipping Fat Boy Tin over, and doing the same to [[Plunderbird|Plunderbird 4]] after the huge robot had been defeated. Against Spawn of Scutter, Vercengetorix ran into it, and axed it. Spawn of Scutter pushed Vercingetorix, shrugging off the axe blows.  Spawn of Scutter pushed Vercingetorix into Sir Killalot, but Vercingetorix got its axe stuck in Spawn. Spawn of Scutter pushed Vercingetorix across the arena, and rammed Vercingetorix into the wall. Vercengetorix was defeated.
-It also competed in The Southern Annihilator. However, it was crumpled by Razer in the first round and eliminated.
