Robot statistics correct as of its most recent appearance on the show | |
G.B.H. was a competitor in Series 2 of Robot Wars, belonging to Team Joint Effort. G.B.H. was a bubble-shaped robot with a lifting scoop capable of lifting 12 stone. The machine also featured 4 identical circular saws. The robot made the series semi-finals in Series 2, eventually losing in the pinball trial.
G.B.H. 2 was a brand new machine which competed in Series 6. It was a box-wedge robot, shaped like an endurance race-car with two concealed flippers. It was fast and manoeuvrable, but had weak armour. Although the robot was impressive, it lost in the first round on a very close judges' decision.
Although a few suggestions were made, it was never made completely clear what the letters in G.B.H.'s name stood for.

[edit] Series 2
G.B.H. made a strong start to Heat J, bulldozing through Dead Metal to reach the end zone in the Gauntlet. In the Tug of War, G.B.H. had secret weapons; spikes at the bottom that dug into the ground to increase resistance, lasting 20 seconds. After maneuvering around, G.B.H. flipped Talos onto its side, before repeating the process on Ivanhoe in the heat final. As the credits rolled, G.B.H. ponderously pitted the fallen Norwhich machine.
G.B.H. reached the semi-finals, competing in the second semi. G.B.H. came second in the Gauntlet, after breaking down the wall and driving slowly into the pit. However, G.B.H. lost out in the pinball. It hit some bricks and barrels, before being picked up and placed effortlessly into the pit by Sir Killalot. It had only scored 145 points, which eliminated G.B.H. from the Semi-Finals.
[edit] Series 6 (G.B.H. 2)
G.B.H. 2 had a very impressive start to Series 6, tossing Sir Chromalot and ICU around. It self-righted spectacularly after being flipped. ICU was soon immobilised, but it fell to the judges to decide the other robot to be eliminated. It was a very close decision, but the judges eliminated G.B.H. 2, sending Sir Chromalot and The Alien through.
