More Panda Monium was a box-shaped robot with a front lifting scoop that could lift over 100kg, and a pneumatic spike above the scoop that could point at an adjustable angle. It was the second of a series of robots made by Team Panda and was the successor for the similarly named Panda Monium. The robot cost almost £1200 to build. More Panda Monium failed to qualify for Series 3 of Robot Wars after it was damaged by being dropped before entering the arena to take on the Assault Course, the robot couldn't be repaired in time to even attempt to qualify, but was still repaired to fighting form eventually anyway. More Panda Monium was replaced the following series by the completely new machine, Big Pants, which also failed to quailfy for the Fourth Wars due to the judges having doubts about the robot's reliability. After Big Pants' failure, Team Panda decided to then attempt to qualify with More Panda Monium, as qualifying was still taking place, however More Panda Monium failed to qualify for the main competition as well, after they lost their qualifier battle to V.I.P.E.R. 01, who also failed to qualify for this series.

Trivia
- There was an error in the pits during the qualifiers for the Third Wars and the robot was dropped as it was about to enter the arena to take on the Assault Course, causing the spike cannon to suddenly activate and stab someone's leg. This incident was one of the reasons that Rex Garrod retired from Robot Wars (see Garrod's Protest).
- Despite the team's poor success rate, More Panda Monium was the only heavyweight robot from Team Panda that never qualified for the main competition, and the only robot from Team Panda not to appear on the televised show.
