Revision as of 16:16, 16 October 2019
Cruncher was a robot from Team Wharthog that failed to qualify for Series 6 and 7 of Robot Wars. It originally failed to qualify for Series 6, after losing radio signal very quickly in its qualifier battle. For the Seventh Wars, Cruncher was given minor upgrades and renamed Cruncher 2, but failed to qualify again.
The team had previously competed on Robot Wars with Wharthog in Series 1 and the Series 2 Middleweight Championship, and Crusher in Series 3. Neither Wharthog or Crusher won a battle or progressed beyond the first round in any competition.
Cruncher 2 fought at a few live events after Robot Wars ended, with little to no success, before retiring from combat all together.
Design
Cruncher was an invertible, four-wheeled, rectangular box shaped robot armed with a set of large horizontal pincers at the front. However, these pincers proved very unreliable and unstable, and remained almost useless when the robot fought at live events.
