Flensburger Power
Talk0this wiki
Flensburger Power was a German competitor robot that fought in Robot Wars Extreme. It was a large green wedge-shaped robot with a small spear on the front and a spinning blade cutter on the back. The robot was powered by a windscreen wiper motor and as a result was rather slow and never had any great success. After losing the German Melee to Ansgar, Flensburger Power was given a Wild Card into The Second World Championship, but broke down in its first fight and was eventually thrown over by Matilda's flywheel. For unknown reasons, Flensburger Power was either unable or chose not to enter German Robot Wars, although the German Melee which was filmed a year earlier was broadcast as part of that series.

Extreme 1
Edit
Flensburger Power took part in the International Mayhem representing Germany taking on Panic Attack from the UK, Manta from the USA and Maximill from Holland. Little much was seen of it as it was pursued by Panic Attack in the opening minute before it was shoved on the flame pit and broke down there; it was counted out by Refbot and eliminated.
It took part also in the German melee against Nasty Warrior, Golem and Ansgar. This battle was also broadcast during German Robot Wars. During the battle, it did nothing but dodge most of the opponents and move around very ponderously. It did get caught by Ansgar's lifter, but managed to run away before any damage was done. It survived to the judges' decision, but lost on points to Ansgar.
Despite its bad performance in Extreme 1, Flensburger Power was chosen to represent Germany in the Second World Championship held at the end of the series. This competition was also broadcast during Extreme Warriors: Season 1. In the first round, it was up against Diotoir, The Revolutionist and Razer. It never was able to make an impact in the fight, getting pushed into the arena wall by Diotoir. Diotoir then drove away to attack Razer, while Flensburger Power merely shuffled forward before it broke down again. After being counted out by Refbot and flung onto its back by Matilda's flywheel, Flensburger Power was eliminated from the Second World Championship at the first hurdle.
