Changes: Reckless Endangerment

Revision as of 23:39, 25 October 2017

Reckless Endangerment was a tracked competitor robot that appeared in Series 2 of Robot Wars. It was originally intended to compete in the main series, but was replaced by Griffon at the last minute, and entered into the Super Heavyweight Championship, also known as the Super Showdown, in which it was the lightest entrant. However, it lost its qualifier to eventual champion Kick Robut, which itself was never fully televised.

Reckless Endangerment was a tracked, cuboid-shaped robot with checker-plated armour and a steep front wedge. It is unknown whether the wedge was its primary weapon, as very little of the robot was shown during its appearance in the Super Showdown qualifier.

Robot History

Series 2

After being forced to forfeit its place in the main Series 2, Reckless Endangerment was entered into the Super Showdown, and fought fellow super heavyweights Minotaur and Kick Robut in its qualifier. Very little of it was seen in the battle, as it approached the stalled Minotaur before the latter was lifted and toppled over by Kick Robut. Kick Robut proceeded to attack Reckless Endangerment and win the qualifier, securing its place in the Super Showdown final as Reckless Endangerment was eliminated.^Citation?
