Robot statistics correct as of its most recent appearance on the show

Namazu was a walkerbot that competed in the second series of Dutch Robot Wars. It was a domed robot with a wedge at the front, to facilitate the use of its weapon, a vertical crushing arm. It was reasonably fast for a true walkerbot, but proved unreliable. This led to its demise in the first round against Blackdevil Warzone.

The robot got its name from Japanese mythology, where a "namazu" is believed to be a giant catfish that lives underground and causes earthquakes. This name proved befitting, Namazu shook the floor panels as it walked.

Robot HistoryEdit

Dutch Series 2Edit

Blackdeveil Warzone slammed into Namazu with its spinning drum at the start, and also attacked Namazu from the side and rear, which did surprisingly little damage to the walkerbot's armour. Namazu became immobilized on one side, the imbalance causing it to shred the arena floor beneath its legs. Because of this lack of traction, it became immobilised, and was counted out by the Refbot. Growler seized Namazu and held it over the flame pit, before spinning it around and allowing it to be hammered by Mr. Psycho. Growler then dropped Namazu into the pit of oblivion.
