Design
The team with Shark Attack
Shark Attack in the arena
Shark Attack was large box-shaped robot built in the shape of a shark. The shark's head was lowered into a shovel for lifting with sharp hedge-trimmer blades and modified so that the whole body of the robot would jack up to help turn other robots over. This was run off two mid-welder bottles stashed away to protect them from impact. It cost £500 to build, had cased and fire-proofed electronics.

- — Jonathan Pearce at the start of the battle
Shark Attack is tipped onto its side by Behemoth
Shunt causes further damage to Shark Attack
Shark Attack had an unlucky draw in the first round in its only appearance, drawn against previous series semi finalists Behemoth in the first round. Both robots started fairly sluggishly, with Shark Attack turning away as Behemoth closed in, then turning more to get its lifter under Behemoth's. However, Behemoth turned to try and get under Shark Attack's side, and Shark Attack turned to try and escape. Behemoth got one side of its scoop under Shark Attack as it tried turning away and lifted it up, but Shark Attack slid off. Shark Attack turned around to face Behemoth, and Behemoth tried getting under Shark Attack again and lifting it up, but Shark Attack fell off again. Behemoth reversed for another attack, then rammed into the side of Shark Attack, which had foolishly exposed the side whilst trying to escape. Behemoth easily tipped its opponent onto its side, from which it could not self-right. The House Robots almost instantly came in to destroy Shark Attack, with Matilda knocking it on its back and Shunt axing a large hole in the base.
