- "A coal scuttle on wheels"
- — Jonathan Pearce on Rampage
Rampage was robot that entered Series 2 of Robot Wars. It didn't get very far in its heat, as it was eliminated in the Gauntlet stage. This robot is no relation to Rampage 2.
Design
Rampage was an triangular wedge shaped robot armed with a 7" cutting disc. It had a mild steel chassis underneath a stainless steel and aluminium shell with a Derby County rams motif and cost less than £300 to build. It was over 3kg over the Weight limit for Heavyweights at the time.
Robot History
Series 2
Rampage from the side
Rampage tried to take the Sentinel route in the Gauntlet, but as it drove down the route an arena spike came up and punctured one of Rampage's tyres, this made Rampage spin around on one wheel. Dead Metal then pushed Rampage back towards the start. This gave Rampage the shortest distance and it was eliminated.
