Changes: Flybot

Revision as of 22:17, 1 December 2018

Flybot was a featherweight robot from Team BlazerBotics, which competed in the Featherweight Championship of Robot Wars Extreme: Series 2. One of two featherweights entered by the team - the other being Gladiator - it performed strongly in its heat, but lost after pushing Kitty into the pit and falling in itself seconds later.

Design

Flybot was a silver and black robot with a slanted box-shaped bddy and two-wheel drive, and had an learner driver's plate on its back. Its weapon was a long electric lifting arm, which proved effective in its only appearance.

Robot History

Extreme 2

Flybot competed in the Featherweight Championship, broadcast as part of the Robot Rampage episode. In its heat, it fought fellow Team Blazerbotics featherweight Gladiator, as well as Cutlet, Dragon, Kitty and Micro-Mute.

Flybot vs Kitty — Flybot lifts Kitty up onto four wheels

At the start, Flybot pushed Dragon away, before lifting Kitty up onto all four wheels.

"Flybot, top of your picture, making an early push."

— Jonathan Pearce

Kitty drove back down onto two wheels, before Flybot pressured it towards the pit, hooking its lifting arm under Kitty's wheel and flipping it in. However, this also caused Flybot to lose balance and throw itself head-over-heels into the pit as well.

Flybot vs kitty 2 — Flybot, overbalancing, topples into the pit after dispatching Kitty

"Flybot and Kitty duelled together, good fight it was, Flybot pushing Kitty, then towards the pit, and oh dear they both toppled in!"

— Jonathan Pearce

Flybot was eliminated from the Featherweight Championship as a result, with it and Kitty eventually being joined in the pit by all of the remaining competitors and Refbot.
