Knightmare
(AKA Raging Knightmare) was built by Team Knightmare for Robot Wars
series 7. In January 2005 we purchased Knightmare from them as they
were retiring from the sport, we had known the team for several
years as they lived locally to us.
Knightmare
was originally seen in RW series 4 where it was defeated by Scutters
Revenge, it then made the Annihilator final in RW Extreme. In series
6 in made the heat final again, only this time being defeated by the
reigning champion Razer. The robot came back again in series 7 and
this time made it to the Semi-Finals, throwing Spawn of Scutter out
of the arena in the heat final but then being defeated by the
reigning champion Tornado.
Knightmare
is driven by 2 4QD NCC70s, powering 2 Bosch 750Watt motors. The
chassis is made from 20mm box section, with aluminum checker plate
armour. The flipper is powered by a 63mm bore ram, controlled by 2
high pressure valves.
We are
currently planning on upgrading the armour and pneumatic system. The
robots appearance wont change, as its a well known robot amongst the
fans.
