- "The guys looking a little bit crossed between E.R. and Star Trek here."
- — Julia Reed on the outfits of Indefatigable
Indefatigable was a box shaped robot that exclusively competed in Series 4 of Robot Wars. It was painted light blue, and was made of aluminium from an old quarry truck and recycled polycarbonate and plastic from old telephone boxes. The wheels were from wheely bins and the team chose the name as they thought it would be "unstopable" and "can't be wrecked". The main weapon of Indefatigable was a forklift at the front with sharp ramming spikes on the ends, the weapon was capable of lifting up to 75kg, meaning it was incapable of lifting most robots in the competition but could reach 17mph. The team had made another robot called Indefatigable Mangolier, but has yet to be seen competing.
The team wore matching blue uniforms to the colour of their machine, which were likened to Thunderbirds uniforms. It was the first robot to be flipped out of the arena in series 4, and the second to be flipped out by Chaos 2.
Robot History
Series 4
Front view of Indefatigable
Indefatigable had an unfortunate draw as it was placed up against the reigning champions and number 1 seeds Chaos 2, in the first battle of the series, Indefatigable was also placed up against fellow newcomers Atomic. In the battle, Chaos 2 was first to attack, speeding at Atomic and attempting to flip it. However, Chaos 2 missed and the two proceeded to battle until Indefatigable came charging in. Chaos 2 continued to focus on Atomic and finally managed to flip it onto its side. Then, while Chaos 2 chased after Indefatigable, Atomic managed to self-right. A few moments later, Indefatigable was turned on its side by Chaos 2, but as, unlike Atomic, it had no srimech, it was left stranded, and deemed immobilised. Chaos 2 then turned its attention back to Atomic, flipping it again but as before, it self-righted. This time, however, Atomic's flipper became stuck open, so when it was flipped for a third time, it could not turn itself back over, although it still survived the melee, as Indefatigable was still flipped. Despite being victorious, Chaos 2 was still not content with what it had done, so it snatched Indefatigable from Sergeant Bash and threw the newcomers out of the arena. After this, cease was finally called to signal the end of the battle. Indefatigable was the first robot to be eliminated from the Fourth Wars televised show, and the second robot in history to be flipped out of the arena (Fire Storm being the first).
