The name Wyrm is derived from the type of dragon which has no legs or wings, resembling a serpent.

Wyrm with Memento Mori
Wyrm improves on its predecessor Overdozer by using an Ultra High Molecular Weight Polyethylene frame for armour with polycarbonate, protecting its four yellow wheels, like those used by Carbide in the Series 8 Grand Final. It is designed to push, and protect itself from spinning weapons with its HARDOX front plate, which fires forwards to overturn robots. The robot is invertible, and has a reasonable top speed. Overall, the robot shares many similarities with BattleBots entry Stinger: The Killer Bee, though the robot features little protection on top, with the rear of the robot also featuring gaps in the armour.
