Changes: Mad Dog

Revision as of 13:04, 30 July 2013

"Very powerful flipper, looks mean, two wheel driven, has a steel backbone chassis, heat treated aluminium and polycarbonate shell, but it does lack experience. Don't they all?"

— Jonathan Pearce

Mad Dog was a two-wheel driven wedge-shaped robot that was similar in appearance to the Italian robot Mastiff. It fought exclusively in the New Blood Championship of Extreme Series 2 of Robot Wars. It had a steel chassis with an aluminium and polycarbonate shell and its flipper was listed as 'very powerful' with 1400lbs of thrust, but never showed the power in battle. In testing the flipper threw several 100kg V6 engine blocks 3ft in the air and 5-6ft forwards prior to their appearance in the warzone. Mad Dog lost in its first and only battle to Chopper and ICU.

Robot History

Extreme 2

Mad Dog faced Chopper and ICU in its first round battle. From the off, it was shoved around by ICU, attempting to use its lifter but failing to do anything. Sir Killalot shoved it into its CPZ and attacked it, after escaping, ICU attacked it again. Mad Dog was left immobilised on the Floor Flipper. Refbot counted out the fallen robot, and it was attacked by the House Robots. It was flipped by the floor flipper, but the drop zone, which had a dustbin of bowling balls, missed Mad Dog. It was pitted, leaving ICU and the heavily damaged Chopper to go through.
