Widow's Revenge was a competitor robot from Series 5 of Robot Wars. It was built by the "Robot Widows", a team of female roboteers who were sick of the amount of time their partners spent working on their robot. It was a simple box-wedge shaped robot with a pink and white colour scheme and armed with a small spinning disc on the front and a spinning drum on the back. The women made the robot as part of raising the awareness for cancer.

Because Widow's Revenge was placed in the same heat as Razer, and met it in the second round, the Robot Widows pretended to be the Razer team's other halves. Though Widow's Revenge had no actual association with Razer, Vincent Blood's girlfriend Emily stepped in as a third team member after one of the Robot Widows, Captain Jenny Smith, fell ill.

After Robot Wars ended, Jenny Smith captained and built a featherweight called Pillow Torque, which still fights today.

Robot History

Series 5

Widow's Revenge bumped into Sumpthing, with both robots weapons causing little damage to each other. After some pushing around, Sumpthing activated the pit, but before it could attempt to push Widow's Revenge down, Sumpthing broke down and the fight went to the judges, who put Widow's Revenge through to face Razer in one of the most memorable battles of the Fifth Wars.

The match was punctuated by taunts; at one point the Robot Widows caricatured their 'other halves' as "Bald Boy", "Weasel" and "Potato Features". Jonathan Pearce, however, speculated that the Razer team had given their spouses some "duff advice" on robot-building; Widow's Revenge was completely outclassed by Razer and was punctured numerous times. Matilda then hit Widow's Revenge with her flywheel several times, smashing and mangling its chassis. Widow's Revenge was then tossed by the Floor Flipper, somehow managing to wedge it open, before being pushed towards the pit by Razer. However, Razer ended up driving in itself (much to the delight of the Robot Widows) as Widow's Revenge was not at the right angle to fall down; regardless, Widow's Revenge were out of the competition.
