Marauder was a middleweight robot from the second season Robot Wars: Extreme Warriors. As Extreme Warriors had no middleweight division, Marauder took part in the main competition. It was armed with an overhead spinning bar with two truck hitch balls at either end that could spin up to 3000 RPM. Marauder made it to the second round of its heat, only to be pitted, driving in under pressure from Destructive Criticism.

Robot History

Season 2

In the first round, Marauder mostly drove around with no direction, avoiding trouble. This proved to be a worthwhile tactic, as G-Force broke down, and Marauder progressed to meet the eventual heat winner, Destructive Criticism. Despite being light in weight, Marauder proved difficult to deal with, as Destructive Criticism's spinning disc could surprisingly cause little damage to Marauder, and even pushing Marauder proved ineffective. A tentative battle ensued, but eventually, Marauder drove too near to the pit, and the pressure of Destructive Criticism being nearby caused Marauder to drive itself in.
