Ninjitsu was a robot entered by Team Katana for Extreme Warriors: Season 2 and Nickelodeon Robot Wars. It was fully invertible, powered by wheelchair motors, and had a square spinning disc weapon spinning at 3000 RPM. 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.
In keeping with the theme, the team name, and the name of their previous entrant Shuriken, were based on Japanese weapons.
Robot History
Season 2
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.

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.
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.
