Rosie the Riveter was an American competitor robot that fought in both seasons of Robot Wars: Extreme Warriors and Nickelodeon Robot Wars, built by Team Juggerbot. After competing in a variety of events during the first season with mixed success, Rosie the Riveter 2 reached the Grand Final of the US Championship during Season 2, defeating Darkness in its Heat Final before falling to the eventual champion Panzer Mk 4 in the eliminators. Rosie the Riveter 2 lost both of its fights in Nickelodeon Robot Wars on extremely close Judges' decisions. Building upon its name, Rosie the Riveter was a four-wheel drive, box-shaped robot designed to resemble a World War II fighter plane. It was mainly painted yellow, blue and white with various fighter plane-inspired decals, and in the first season of Extreme Warriors featured an iron battering ram as its weapon, driven by wheelchair motors. In Season 2 and Nickelodeon Robot Wars, it was upgraded to feature a front wedge as well as a belt-driven 24V circular saw and new 36V electric motors. The robot also featured a host of novelty fighter plane-themed attachments which were removed before its battles, including a pair of wings fixed to its sides, and a miniature cockpit, pilot and tailfin attached to its top panel. Did you know... ...that Carbide is the only robot to reach three consecutive Grand Final battles? ...that despite being claimed as 280kg on the show, the original Sir Killalot actually weighed around 520kg? ...that Flamethrowers were illegal on Competitor robots, and only the House Robots Sergeant Bash and Growler ever utilised Flamethrowers? ...that the maximum weight of a Heavyweight robot was originally 79.4kg, before increasing to 100kg for Series 5 and to 110kg for Robot Wars: Series 8? ...that in the Series 9 Celebrity Special, the Celebrities drew a concept for a robot which was then built for them to fight?
