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.

Series 5
Seeded 20th, Mousetrap was fortunate to pass the first round, as Shredder appeared to be controlling the battle until it lost control and drove into the pit. Mousetrap needed to beat S3 to set up a grudge match with Stinger, however S3 won on a judges decision after a fight where the pair spent the majority of the match stuck together. S3 caused major damage to one of Mousetrap's panels and ripped the decorative spring in the final few seconds, sending it through to the heat final.
Extreme
Mousetrap's only appearance in the Extreme series was in a Mayhem in Extreme Series 1, where it was drawn up against Atomic and Fighting Torque. However, a problem with its trap mechanism left it defenseless as it was continually flipped around the arena by Atomic, finally being counted out and left for Dead Metal to destroy.
