[edit] Series 3

Evil Weevil was a fibreglass beetle robot, armed with three pronged electric operated lifting spikes.

[edit] Round 1 vs. Triterobot

Triterobot had the faster start, and pushed Evil Weevil into Sergeant Bash. Evil Weevil then drove at Triterobot and pushed it around the arena, while one of Triterobot's spikes got stuck on Evil Weevil. Lots of smoke then came out of Triterobot's wheels, confusing the Evil Weevil team, but it completely recovered. Evil Weevil drove at it and balanced it on its side.

[edit] Round 2 vs. Flip Flop Fly

Flip Flop Fly drove around ineffectively but pushed Evil Weevil into Shunt. Evil Weevil escaped and drove into Flip Flip Fly many times, before the House Robots ganged up on Flip Flop Fly.

[edit] Round 3 vs. Panzer

This was another disappointing match. Panzer did not move at the start, so Evil Weevil was declared the winner. Most people agree that the match should have been re-fought, but it was not.

[edit] Round 4 vs. Hypno-Disc

Hypno-Disc was hesitant at the start, and Evil Weevil ran away from its wheel, into Dead Metal. Hypno-Disc attacked Evil Weevil's rear and tore some armour off. It did this many times, until Evil Weevil had control problems and was immobilised.

[edit] Robotic Soccer Round 1 vs. Alien

Evil Weevil got the early possession of the ball, and pushed it to the back of the arena. Matilda went for the ball while Evil Weevil attacked Alien. Alien took the recovered ball back to the back of the arena, where it got stuck on the side wall. The spike on the arena floor flipped Alien, but Dead Metal intervened and pushed it the correct way up. Evil Weevil collected the ball but it bounced away. Evil Weevil then reversed into the ball and it bounced off Matilda's eye. The was a judge's decision at the end.

[edit] Robotic Soccer Final vs. The General vs. Gnasher vs. Velocirippa

Velocirippa drove in first, but missed the ball. Gnasher attacked Matilda, while Velocirippa broke down. Matilda passed the ball to Evil Weevil while blocking Gnasher. The General attacked Matilda and gave the ball to Gnasher, who was then tackled by Matilda. Meanwhile Evil Weevil flipped Gnasher. Matilda pushed the ball into the wall, and gave it to Evil Weevil again. The General appeared to break down, and Sergeant Bash set the ball on fire. The General and Velocirippa came back to life, but the match ended in a judge's decision.Evil Weevil Won!!!

[edit] Series 4

Evil Weevil returned this time painted gold and armed with a sledgehammer to compliment the lifting spikes. They were seeded #12.

[edit] Round 1 vs. Mousetrap vs. Tiberius

Evil Weevil drove over Tiberius, and Mousetrap attacked Evil Weevil, using its bar. Tiberius got under Mousetrap, and Mousetrap's weapon jammed open. The Refbot separated the robots, but meanwhile Evil Weevil broke down.
