Mousetrap was a robot that competed in Series 4 and 5 of Robot Wars. It was a wedge-shaped replica of a spring mousetrap, with the trap itself being the weapon. For Series 5, the robot was known as Mousetrap 2 and a blade was added to the trap. The Mousetrap team were competitors from Series 3-5 and Series 7. During the team's campaign, they competed with three very different robots. Of these three machines, only Mousetrap had any great degree of success, reaching the Semi-Finals of Series 4. Both of their other robots were beaten in Round 1.

Other Entries

Triterobot

Triterobot was a triangular-shaped robot that was entered by the team in Series 3. It had a spike on each corner, was invertible and could also emit a smokescreen. The robot was defeated in the first round of its heat by Evil Weevil.

Black and Blue

Black and Blue, the team's entry for Series 7, was a clusterbot - each machine a small invertible box with a spinning drum. As the name suggests, one bot was black, and the other was blue. However, they were rather small, and Firestorm 5 pitted Blue without much trouble, but not before Black was immobilised by Daisy-Cutter.
