Pathetica was a boxy, T-shaped robot that took part in Dutch Robot Wars: Series 1. It was armed with an axe, which wasn't particularly powerful, and a rear mounted circular saw, which hardly featured in either of its battles. It did however, manage to win a battle, unlike its successor, Vortex Inducer.

Series 1

Pathetica's "help" message

Pathetica had a simple enough first round battle against Shapeshifter. Pathetica only required a single axe blow to chip the weak wooden armour of its opponent, who reversed into the pit release button and got immobilised there. Pathetica continued to attack with its axe, but it was the House Robots that caused the significant damage. Nevertheless, Pathetica was through to Round Two, where it met Sater. Pathetica chased Sater, but could only graze with its axe blow. After missing a few more attacks, Pathetica came to a halt in the middle of the arena, and was counted out by Refbot. Sir Killalot crushed the rear end of Pathetica. He then had it flipped by the floor flipper, revealing a "help" message underneath the robot, before Sir Killalot burnt Pathetica over the flame pit. Dead Metal had time to cut into Pathetica before the smouldering wreck was pitted.
