"With a simple pyramid design to ensure greater stability and maximum defence. Weighs in at 71.9 kilograms, runs off two electric wheelchair motors and this is clearly a robot to look out for!"
Jonathan Pearce introduces Uglybot

Uglybot was a robot that competed in the British television show Robot Wars. It was a triangular-based pyramid shape which was painted grey with a mouth and eyes on the front. Its weapons were two 7" cutting discs and a cutting blade, but these weapons were never seen in action as it never made it past the Gauntlet.
