The Serpent

The Serpent was an antweight robot which competed in the Antweight Championship of the second series of Robot Wars Extreme. Despite surviving to a Judges' decision in its qualifying heat, it was eliminated there during its only televised appearance, itself shown as a partial recap.

DesignEdit

The Serpent was a silver, two-wheel drive robot armed with a dual-action crusher and lifter. The crusher/lifter was designed to work in tandem, allowing it to clamp and lift opponents simultaneously. The robot itself also featured a pair of small wedges either side of the lifter which enabled it to get underneath opponents more easily, as well as a set of three metal plates mounted on top of the weapon mechanism.

Robot HistoryEdit

Extreme 2Edit

The Serpent competed solely in the Antweight Championship, broadcast as part of the Robot Rampage episode. In its heat, it fought Buzzant, Lower, Millitant, Minimalistic and Pants

The Serpent immediately raised its weapon at the start before slowly crawling across the arena towards the Floor Spinner. Struggling to turn and drive forwards effectively, The Serpent saw little involvement until it grabbed and lifted Buzzant, only to be pushed itself by Lower and attacked from the side by Minimalistic. Again, The Serpent was pushed by Lower, before being repeatedly axed by Pants in a CPZ next to the half-immobilised Millitant. In the process, it and Lower blocked Pants from driving out of the CPZ, although this was not enough for The Serpent to win the subsequent Judges' decision over either of its surviving opponents. As a result, it was eliminated from the Antweight Championship.
