- "4-wheel driven machine, a double acting morning star axe, they tell me, a flipper, but very slow at 7mph and light, too, at just 88kgs."

Guzunderbot was a double wedge shaped, four-wheel driven robot that competed in Series 5 of Robot Wars. It was armed with a small flipper arm and a morning star style axe and was built for the earlier series which included an obstacle course. The team called themselves the "Family at War". It was slow and lightweight which cost it in its only battle against the experienced General Carnage, in a heat where it was the only newcomer.
"Guzunder" is British slang for "chamber pot." Although it was named due to its wedge shape, it "Guzunder".
Robot History
Series 5
Guzunderbot's only battle, against General Carnage 2, was over very quickly (due to editing) as both robots dodged each other for a few moments, but then General Carnage flipped Guzunderbot. The flip did not topple Guzunderbot, but the second flip rolled it over and onto its back. Guzunderbot attempted to self-right, but couldn't move more than a few centimetres.

As Refbot moved forward, General Carnage finished it off, flipping it out of the arena.
- "...No chance! You're over and out Mr. Ellis! The signal, green for go for General Carnage!"
