Fluffy, a competitor from Series 5 through 7, was a low heptagonal-shaped robot. It was shaped very much like Disc-O-Inferno, only smaller and, instead of a conventional flywheel, its main weapon was a horizontal double-headed spinning axe that spun at 1500RPM. Similarly to Disc-O-Inferno Fluffy proved to be extremely destructive in its battles, even managing to disarm the number two seed Pussycat, but it suffered from severe reliability problems, frequently breaking down causing it to underperform in most of its appearances. Fluffy jointly won the UK vs Germany Special of Series 6 with Das Gepack. It also won the Most Promising Newcomer Award in Series 5.

[edit] Extreme 1

Fluffy's only appearance in Extreme Series 1 was in a Mayhem against Arnold A. Terminegger and Wild Thing. However, it was pinned down by Arnold A. Terminegger and pushed into a side wall, caught beneath the angle grinder, and immobilised. The floor flipper flung Fluffy straight into the pit.

[edit] Series 5

Fluffy had a tough heat coming up against 3 very experienced teams.

Fluffy caused a shock in its first round by defeating the experienced 101, causing damage to its tracks and side panels with the spinning hammer armament. Up against Terrorhurtz it caused extensive damage to the polycarbonate armour and immobilised it with a few swift blows. In the Heat Final it started magnificently once again, ripping the spinning disc and a castor off the second seeds, Pussycat. But it mysteriously broke down and the win was awarded to Pussycat after Fluffy was flung by the floor flipper.

[edit] Extreme 2

Fluffy was favored to win the University Challenge competition, but couldn't seem to get its weapon to full potential. It couldn't cause more than superficial damage to Tiberius 3' tough armour, and Tiberius 3 pierced a hole in the top of Fluffy and held it over the pit, before Fluffy fell to its demise.

[edit] Series 7

Fluffy was in a first round melee with Killer Carrot 2, Constrictor and Scarey-Go-Round. Fluffy tore huge gashes into Scarey-Go-Round, but soon after burnt out its motors on one side. All four machines survived for a judge's decision but Fluffy was eliminated with Scarey-Go-Round, which drove onto the flame pit.
