The Death Beetle was a heavyweight robot designed with the intention of applying for Series 4 of Robot Wars. Due to limited information on the team's archived website, it is unknown whether the robot was ever completed in time for auditions.
Design[]
Little is known about the robot's design as no images exist of it in the build process, however the robot was loosely based on the look of a beetle, similar to classic era competitor The Stag.
The Death Beetle had four wheels, though it is unknown if each wheel was independently powered. For weaponry, the robot had front-mounted horizontal pincers as well as spiked blades at the front and rear of the robot.[3]
