Description
It may look like a big traffic cone, but this was a top of the line contender on Robot Wars. Meet the Seventh Wars UK Champion, Typhoon 2! Built by cadets and staff from the Air Training Corps in Edinburgh, Scotland, Typhoon was a dangerous spinner bot with 4 slashing blades. You thought Hypno-Disc was bad, this one took spinner weapons to a new level. Before the Seventh Wars in 2003, Typhoon made its name in smaller weight classes in the middleweight and lightweight classes on Robot Wars in Extreme Series 1 and 2. They where such a success, they been ask when they enter Typhoon as a heavyweight? Well that was answered sooner then anyone thought. They debut Typhoon 2, but they failed to make the Sixth Wars and instead entered the Annihilator where they found themselves knocked out of round one. It didn't stop them from making this run with the heavyweights workout. There only season became a championship run. They came in unseeded and wrecked all that got in there way, before barley winning the title against Storm 2 in the grand finals of the Seventh Wars. They then became the only team on Robot Wars to win a title in all 3 weight classes.

The various members of Team Typhoon were engineering students, whose proficiency level dictated the machine that they designed, built and fought with.
Typhoon & Typhoon 2: Flying Officer Peter Bennett, Corporal Gary Cairns and Cadet Hazel Taylor were the team that drove Typhoon in the Middleweight Melee in Extreme 1. Hazel was replaced by Sergeant Graeme Horne, who joined the team (that drove Typhoon and Typhoon 2) for Extreme 2 and Series 7.
Typhoon Twins: Neil Harrison, Alistair McLeod and Keri Scott drove Typhoon Twins, who faced Typhoon in the Extreme 2 Middleweight final.
Typhoon Thunder: Keri was alongside Martin Armistead and Amy Drinkwater in the team of Lightweight champion Typhoon Thunder.
