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

Recyclopse was the first robot from Team Cassius, which was entered in Series 1. It was a black dome-shaped machine with a pneumatic steel tongue which would shoot out of the front of the robot and flip its opponents over. It was the first competitor robot to flip another robot with a flipping weapon rather than a plain wedge. The robot won its Heat Final after a controversial judges' decision against Mortis, but was immobilised in the Grand Final when one if its chains broke after an attack by the eventual champion, Roadblock. Recyclopse was the first ever contestant robot to flip over a House Robot, doing so to Matilda in the Trial round of its Heat.

[edit] Series 1

Recyclopse took on the House Robot route in the Gauntlet and shot past the defending House Robots to complete the course in the fastest time. In the Trial, the five remaining robots played the robot version of British Bulldog. Again Recyclopse started quickly, but was impeded by Matilda. This made Recyclopse drive into a pyrimid and lose one of its chains, immobilising it. However Recyclopse got its revenge by becoming the first compititor robot to flip over a House Robot by flipping Matilda over. Progressing into the Arena stage. Its first battle was over fairly quickly with it driving towards the PPZ and being attacked by Dead Metal. Recyclopse ran away from danger and rammed straight into slugish Scrapper before flipping it onto its side. In the Heat Final, Mortis drove into the PPZ and got impaled on a spike leaving it open to attack by Matilda. However, Mortis escaped and launched some aggressive attacks on Recyclopse and came close to tipping it over. The battle ended with Recyclopse stranded on top of Mortis in the PPZ with Mortis taking further damage from the axe of Shunt. The decision went to the judges who gave it to Recyclopse, much to the dismay of the livid Mortis team.
