Changes: More Panda Monium

Revision as of 23:09, 14 April 2012

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 dropped and activated without warning, the spike injuring a crewmember (this incident was one of the reasons that Rex Garrod retired from Robot Wars; see Garrod's Protest). This was also the reason why several side competitions and Special Events during the Third Wars were cancelled.

More Panda Monium was replaced the following series by the completely new machine, Big Pants, which also failed to qualify 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. More Panda Monium was retired for good after this.

Team Panda later competed in Robot Wars with Hot Pants (a reincarnated Big Pants), Thunderpants, and the antweight Pants.
