Frog at Risk driving under the Rabbit robot
Representing France, Frog at Risk was invited to compete in the UK against the largely American field of opponents in the 1995 Pilot for Robot Wars. In one battle it faced one of Derek Foxwell's "Eurobots" which was a stuffed toy rabbit on a RC cart.
In the battle, both machines charged into each other with the sloped sides of Frog at Risk, allowing it to scoop up the Rabbit robot and push it across the arena.
