- "The fights were arranged in "One to One" format and the first contest was with "Kiss of Death", which T-Bone easily ripped to shreds and so was through to the final[1]"
- — Team Roaming Robots
Kiss of Death was a competitor robot which attempted to enter Series 5 of Robot Wars, but failed to qualify.
Design[]
Kiss of Death was a flat, yellow robot with exposed wheels[2]. Other than this, little is known about Kiss of Death's design.
Etymology[]
The term Kiss of Death refers to the mafia, in which it was a sign of execution where members of the mafia would kiss others to mark them for death, which in turn refers to the "Kiss of Judas" in which Judas had kissed Jesus marking him for crucifixion.
Qualification[]
T-Bone and Kiss of Death in battle
Kiss of Death fought in the Manchester Robot Wars qualifying tour for Series 5 where it was sorted into a "mini heat". Its first battle was against T-Bone. In the fight, T-Bone was able to tear Kiss of Death apart, ripping Kiss of Death to shreds. Kiss of Death lost the battle, meaning it could not fight in the "final". Kiss of Death would fail to qualify for the series as a result.
