Next Q:
15: Who was the first robot to use the flywheel principle for a weapon

(Hint: Its not Hypno-disc or Caliban)

[alex_holt]

Robot Wars Q&A

Daisycutter / Daisychopper (cant remember which)?

[team_britespark]

Robot Wars Q&A

Technically it was both DaisyCutter and Wild Wild Willy, both from Series 3.

DaisyCutter had an actual vertical flywheel weapon, whereas WWW had a flywheel powered axe.

[razerdave]

Robot Wars Q&A

wrong on both counts. Hypno-disc does use the flywheel principle for a weapon, but it appeared before Daisycutter and Wild Willy, and Hypno-disc wasnt the first to use it. Think earlier...

Does Roadblock count?

Robot Wars Q&A

Ill take a stab in the dark and say Torque of the Devil (with its rear spinny blade thing)

Robot Wars Q&A

What about Killertron? They had an axe that was attached to a flywheel. It probably doesnt count though because I dont think the flywheel was spun up before the axe was fired but I might be wrong.

Robot Wars Q&A

I think Anthonys right but then again Im going to take a wild guess Krazee Tokyo(I think thats how you spell it).

[razerdave]

Robot Wars Q&A

Steve got that one, Killertron did use a flywheel, but it was driving a weapon, not being used as one.

New Q will be up soon

[razerdave]

Robot Wars Q&A

Ok, new Q

Which robot was built in 5 hours ?

[steven_mcg]

Robot Wars Q&A

The Prince of Darkness. And it still crossed the Gauntlet end line twice.

[razerdave]

Robot Wars Q&A

Very good Steve

I liked The Prince of Darkness, it was very amaturish, but it won both the gauntlet and the robot snooker outright
