Hypno-Disc

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Hypno-Disc is a competitor on Robot Wars that has a 22 inch Disc on the front of the robot. It has ripped apart some of the strongest robots, but has not won any major championships. The robot was designed by Derek Rose, Dave Rose and Ken Rose.

[edit] Weaponary

Hypno-Discs main weapon was a large flywheel which the team claimed that by series five could reach speeds of well over 90mph or 900 RPM^[1]. Hypno disc originally did not have a srimech or self righting mechanism. Hypnodisc's flywheel had two small red parts attached to it in Series 3 but in Series 4 onwards it was repaced by blunter versions. It also had spikes on the back in Series 4 onwards but they did not work well, except for pushing. .

[edit] Matches

Series 3 - Final - Within a minute of starting, Chaos 2, having had his first attempt to flip Hypno-Disc fail, successfully flipped the robot and Hypno Disc was down and out.
