Milly-Ann Bug was a competitor from Series 2 to 4. Built to resemble a bug, it had two hemispherical pods with independent four-wheel drive with a steel chassis. Its armour was made from a bullet-proof jacket material. It was painted dark green and equipped with wooden mandibles in Series 2, but in its later appearances was painted green, yellow and brown, and the pincers were replaced with spikes. For Series 2 and 4, Milly-Ann Bug also sported kevlar hair, which could be used to gum up chainsaws. Although never reaching a heat final, it was a seasoned competitor and was awarded the Most Original Entry Award in Series 2. Milly-Ann Bug was also revealed before its Series 4 Eliminator to be pit reporter Julia Reed's "personal favourite".

[edit] Series 2

First to tackle the Gauntlet, Milly-Ann Bug opted for the ramrig route. After getting a little stuck on the angle grinders, it made it past, but was cornered by Shunt. It received a blow in the eye from Shunt and its hair caught fire, but covered enough ground to go through. Next was the Trial, which was Robot Soccer. It started well using its pincers to control the ball, but was picked upon by the house robots and in particular Elvis who tried to flip Milly. Soon it was only these two left, but Sergeant Bash and Dead Metal had already picked who would lose, as they ganged up on Milly-Ann Bug, causing more damage, during which its hair caught fire twice. Elvis managed to score the final goal.

[edit] Series 3

Milly Ann Bug's only match in Series 3 was against Bumblebot. It began by circling Bumblebot, and surrounding it with its two independently driven pods. It then attempted to push Bumblebot into the pit, but drove in itself by accident.

[edit] Series 4

Milly Ann Bug's first battle was against Pussycat and Reptirron. Pussycat went after Reptirron first, and severed Retirron's hydraulic cable, causing hydraulic fluid to spurt out. Sergeant Bash then set the fluid, and Reptirron on fire. Pussycat then attacked Milly Ann Bug, and managed to knock off one of Milly's wheel hubs. Milly Ann Bug got too close to the blazing Reptirron, and its hair caught fire. Reptirron was immobilized, so Bash put it on the floor flipper. Milly's next match was against the seeded Razer. Razer used its crusher put holes in both the domes, and then tried to cut the connection between them. It couldn't separate the domes, so it chopped off all of Milly Ann Bug's wheels instead.
