Mr. Armageddon was a robot which attempted to enter Robot Wars: The Third Wars. Despite the team attending the audition and being hopeful of making the main competition, Mr. Armageddon was not selected to compete.
Design[]
While not much is known of the design of Mr. Armageddon, the robot had four-wheel drive with skid steering.
Team[]
The team comprised of Andy Montador and Alistair Downie, two work colleagues who were Electrical Engineers at Marconi Electronic Systems in Edinburgh.
Qualification[]
Mr. Armageddon attended the auditions for The Third Wars, despite the team only having started building the robot two weeks beforehand.
Although details are not known about the robot's performance, the team were told they had passed the audition. However, they were then informed by Mentorn towards the end of September 1999 that they had not been selected to appear.[1]
While waiting for confirmation about their series appearance, team member Andy Montador was approached by Peter Smith of Rolling Thunder 2 about forming a team to take part in the proposed Tag Team tournament.[2] However, the tournament was cancelled due to a behind the scenes incident, and neither robot subsequently made an appearance.
