'''Ninjitsu''' was a competitor robot from Orange, California, which fought in the [[Extreme Warriors: Season 2|second season]] of ''[[Robot Wars: Extreme Warriors]]'' and ''[[Nickelodeon Robot Wars]]''. In ''Extreme Warriors'', it fought exclusively in the Robot Rebellion, reaching the second round before losing to [[Snookums]] on a close [[Judges|Judges' decision]]. In the ''Nickelodeon'' series, it finished third in the US Championship after initially losing its eliminator to [[Tyranabot]], and won the Battle of the Spinners against [[Destructive Criticism]].
It was named after ''Ninjitsu'', also known as ''ninpō'', a Japanese collection of disciplines for martial arts, strategy and espionage, most often known for its association with Ninjas.
 
   
 
The robot was named after 'ninjitsu', (also known as 'ninpō'), a Japanese collection of disciplines for martial arts, strategies and espionage, often known for its association with ninjas. Throughout Ninjitsu's appearances, Team Katana wore Bandanas and Kimonos similar to those worn by Samurai Warriors, further reinforcing its Japanese theme.
In keeping with the theme, the team name, and the name of their previous entrant [[Shuriken]], were based on Japanese weapons.

Team Katana had previously competed in Season 1 of ''Extreme Warriors'' with the similarly-themed [[Shuriken]] and the [[Loanerbots|loanerbot]] [[The Green Mouse]].

Ninjitsu was an invertible, two-wheel drive robot powered by wheelchair motors and armed with an unusual 24-inch, 3,000rpm square-shaped spinning disk as its weapon. The robot also featured a pair of movable rear flaps which formed what Evan White described as a 'floating wedge', which was intended to prevent Ninjitsu from being lifted or flipped from the back as well as to get underneath opponents while being driven in reverse. While Ninjitsu's spinning square proved reasonably powerful and damaging, it was susceptible to having its drive belt damaged or dislodged after taking a certain amount of hits. Furthermore, the robot's chassis was partially exposed, which left Ninjitsu particularly vulnerable to getting hooked by certain flipping or lifting weapons, as its first battle with [[Buzz]] demonstrated.

In ''Extreme Warriors'', Ninjitsu competed exclusively in the Robot Rebellion competition, and faced [[Buzz]] in the first round.
[[File:Ninjitsuvsbuzz_rwews2.jpg|thumb|left|Buzz and Ninjitsu tangled together.]]Ninjitsu competed in the Robot Rebellion and its first round battle was against [[Buzz]]. The fight was forced to be repeated because Buzz's flipper got caught in Ninjitsu's chassis and both robots ended up in the pit at the same time. When the fight was restarted, Buzz eventually broke down. Ninjitsu then faced [[Snookums]] in the second round. It used its blade to rip up Snookums' face but then got stuck on the floor spinner. It attacked Snookums again but Snookums lifted both itself and Ninjitsu up with its sword. A piece of Snookums got stuck in Ninjitsu's blade, stopping it. Snookums continued to attack Ninjitsu until time ran out. Ninjitsu ultimately lost on a judges decision because its weapon stopped working.

[[File:Ninjitsuvsbuzz_rwews2.jpg|thumb|right|Buzz hooks Ninjitsu by the chassis]]

It hesitated in the middle of the arena as Buzz pressed the pit release button, before slamming into its front wedge, causing debris to fly across the arena. Ninjitsu was pushed by Buzz before being lifted, the latter's side flipper getting caught through its exposed chassis. Buzz carried Ninjitsu towards the pit, but both robots fell in at the same time, which resulted in the Judges immediately ordering a rematch.
  +
{{Quote|Oh, was that bad driving or good driving? Well I guess the judges are gonna have to pull them apart…|[[Stefan Frank]] after both robots fall into the pit together}}
  +
On the second attempt, Ninjitsu immediately drove into Buzz's wedge, its spinning square deflecting off it as it chased Buzz and hit it again. Another head-on slam caused Buzz to immediately stop moving, and Ninjitsu repeatedly hit Buzz's wedge and sides with the square as [[Sir Killalot]] nudged it to check for signs of mobility. [[Refbot]] eventually counted Buzz out before it was attacked by the House Robots and thrown by the Floor Flipper, allowing Ninjitsu through to the second round.

Ninjitsu slammed into Snookums in the opening moments, causing damage to its front and tail, before hitting one of its wheels and pushing it around with the rear flap. The two robots charged head-on into each other, with Ninjitsu's square ripping one of Snookums’ front spikes off before Ninjitsu continued hitting the latter's wheels and tail. Snookums responded by pushing Ninjitsu over the Disc of Doom, where Ninjitsu got stuck and was unable to drive away until the Disc started spinning and threw it off. Once freed, Ninjitsu hit Snookums' front again, and tore part of its head off as Snookums lifted it with its sword.

Seconds later, Ninjitsu's square caught the piece of Snookums' head that it ripped off, instantly disabling it as it bumped into and pushed Snookums in circles with the rear flaps. Snookums got under Ninjitsu again, but spun itself round as it tried to push, before Ninjitsu backed away and the two robots pushed each other over the Floor Flipper. In the process, Snookums had its tail torched by [[Sergeant Bash|Sgt. Bash]], before pushing Ninjitsu towards his CPZ. Ninjitsu escaped as Sgt. Bash attacked Snookums and grabbed it by the tail, before pushing the flaming Snookums around in circles. In turn, it was pushed into another CPZ by Snookums, losing the drive belt for its spinning square in the process. The two robots rammed each other in the middle of the arena until 'cease' was called, and the battle went to a [[Judges|Judges' decision]].
  +
  +
Despite the damage it inflicted to Snookums, the split decision went against Ninjitsu, much to the disappointment of the audience and Team Katana. As a result, Ninjitsu was eliminated from the Robot Rebellion.

Ninjitsu fought in the Nickelodeon United States Championship alongside [[Tyranabot]], [[Probophobia]] and [[Phantasm]]. In the first round, it faced Tyranabot. It managed to tear up bits of its tail with its spinning frame, but at the end, it was immobilized and counted out. [[Dead Metal]] sawed through Ninjitsu several times before placing it onto the Floor Flipper which sent it flying. Dead Metal then slammed Ninjitsu into the Pit. Ninjitsu then faced Phantasm in the Third Place Playoff. Ninjitsu proceeded to cut up Phantasm's frame while the weaponless Phantasm could merely ram. Soon, Phantasm was destroyed and finished off by the house robots, floor flipper and Drop Zone, making Ninjitsu the winner of the Playoff.

Sir K briefly nudged Ninjitsu with his jaws of life as Refbot counted it out, before [[Dead Metal]] pushed it onto the Floor Flipper.

While Ninjitsu was eliminated from the US Championship, it later fought [[Phantasm]] in the Bonus Battle, a playoff held to determine third and fourth places in the championship.
Ninjitsu then faced [[Destructive Criticism]] in a "Battle of the Spinners" Grudge Match. At the start, both blades colided with Ninjitsu being the more aggressive. After a few hits, Ninjitsu knocked a weapon chain off of Destructive Criticism before knocking their own chain off. The fight went to a judges' decision in favor of Ninjitsu.

Another series of slams from Ninjitsu's blade caused more damage to Phantasm, tearing one of its rear panels loose, before Phantasm again pushed Ninjitsu and attempted to get under it with its front spikes. Ninjitsu hit Phantasm several more times in rapid succession, tearing into its armor, chassis and wheels while immobilizing it in the process. It drove itself over the Disc of Doom before causing more damage to Phantasm, at one point splitting its back panel in half as Refbot counted it out. Sir K pushed Phantasm onto the Floor Flipper and the Drop Zone, where it was thrown a great distance across the arena and had an assortment of sporting equipment dropped onto it. Ninjitsu won the Bonus Battle, and secured third place in the ''Nickelodeon'' US Championship in doing so.

Revision as of 09:33, 24 February 2020

Ninjitsu was a competitor robot from Orange, California, which fought in the second season of Robot Wars: Extreme Warriors and Nickelodeon Robot Wars. In Extreme Warriors, it fought exclusively in the Robot Rebellion, reaching the second round before losing to Snookums on a close Judges' decision. In the Nickelodeon series, it finished third in the US Championship after initially losing its eliminator to Tyranabot, and won the Battle of the Spinners against Destructive Criticism.

The robot was named after 'ninjitsu', (also known as 'ninpō'), a Japanese collection of disciplines for martial arts, strategies and espionage, often known for its association with ninjas. Throughout Ninjitsu's appearances, Team Katana wore Bandanas and Kimonos similar to those worn by Samurai Warriors, further reinforcing its Japanese theme.

Team Katana had previously competed in Season 1 of Extreme Warriors with the similarly-themed Shuriken and the loanerbot The Green Mouse.

Ninjitsu was an invertible, two-wheel drive robot powered by wheelchair motors and armed with an unusual 24-inch, 3,000rpm square-shaped spinning disk as its weapon. The robot also featured a pair of movable rear flaps which formed what Evan White described as a 'floating wedge', which was intended to prevent Ninjitsu from being lifted or flipped from the back as well as to get underneath opponents while being driven in reverse. While Ninjitsu's spinning square proved reasonably powerful and damaging, it was susceptible to having its drive belt damaged or dislodged after taking a certain amount of hits. Furthermore, the robot's chassis was partially exposed, which left Ninjitsu particularly vulnerable to getting hooked by certain flipping or lifting weapons, as its first battle with Buzz demonstrated.
