Changes: Daisy

Revision as of 09:48, 21 May 2019

For the other Series 3 competitor with a similar name, see Daisy Chopper.

For the Series 7 competitor, see Daisy-Cutter.

Daisy was a robot which was entered into Series 3 of Robot Wars. It was drawn against Aggrobot in Round 1, but had to pull out before the battle due to mechanical failures and was replaced by Binky. Due to Daisy's withdrawal, very little is known about it. Daisy did not attempt to enter any series afterwards.

Design

Daisy was a green and black, circular-shaped robot with a "skipping rope" metal bar attached to an axle through the robot's body, designed to swing over the robot like a skipping rope. Not only could the bar be used as a weapon, it also made Daisy one of the few robots in Series 3 to have a self-righting mechanism. The lid was decorated with the robot's name, and floral designs.

Robot History

Series 3

Daisy was placed in Heat C of the Third Wars, and was due to fight the much larger Aggrobot machine in the first round of the heat. However, Daisy was having some mechanical failures in the pits which the team could not fix in time, forcing them to pull out of the competition. Daisy's place was then taken by the substitute robot, Binky. However, Binky lost to Aggrobot in the battle anyway.

"Next up, Daisy against Aggrobot, but news from the pits, Daisy, mechanical failures, ruled out."

— Jonathan Pearce, prior to Daisy's scheduled battle
