Description
Another Robot Wars robot reboot!

From a simple box on wheels to a master of adapting, this is Tornado!! Created by the team of Andrew Marchant, David Gamble and Bryan Moss, Tornado made its Robot Wars debut back in 2000 during the 4th Wars, Its been 20 years since there debut I might add. Tornado was known to be a ramming bot. It was one of the most successful ramming bots in the series history. Its first year was a hit highlighted by defeating the 8th seed Gemini before they where taken out by Chaos 2 in the Semi Finals. They came back in the 5th Wars in 2001 with this time a tougher chassis and a drum spinner that spins up to 2500 rpm. They entered as the 12th seed, but sadly there run ended after an upset victory by Diotoir in round 2. They returned for the 6th Wars as the 12th seed again and thats when they showed there colors. Through out the series in 2002, Tornado would change to different weapons best suited for the robot there facing. It had up to 9 different choice of weapons. No team adapted more then Tornado did. There genius strategy paid off when they went on to beat Razer for the 6th Wars UK Championship. Both Razer and Tornado have clashed a total of 5 times. They had each others numbers making it the greatest rivalry in Robot Wars history. Tornado returned in the 7th Wars to defend there title and almost did, but lost in the Grand Final round 1 match against Storm 2 who Team Tornado regretfully help create. They would finish 3rd in the end. By the time Tornado retired in 2003, it had the 2nd most wins in series history. There way of approaching fights has now gotten many others to do the same thing.

Tornado's stats where second to none:

wins: 35
loose: 9

Sixth Wars UK Champions, Current Challenge belt holders, European Champions and International Champions

Weight (213lbs)
Dimensions (34" x 28" x 10")
Power 2 x 750w Motors
Weapons 2000rpm Spinning Disc and other interchangeable weapons
Strengths Invertible
Weaknesses Easily Flipped
