Shadow was a competitor robot which attempted to enter Series 5 of Robot Wars, but failed to qualify.
The team had previously competed on Robot Wars with Wizard and The Witch.
Design[]
After Team Wizard attempted to qualify for Series 4 with a rebuild of The Witch named The Blair Witch 2000, the team opted to build a brand new robot. This design differed greatly from the team's previous designs as if featured a wedge-shape with what appears to be a lifter on the front end. The team claimed Shadow could reach up to 30mph and would have three different weapons.[1] As only one picture of the robot exists, it is unknown what its other weapons were.
The team also changed their own theme, ditching the sorcery costumes in favor of secret agent outfits. It is unknown if they would've gone under a different team name had they qualified.
