rdfs:comment
  • Conveyor Belts were the least conventional type of lifting weapon to be used in Robot Wars. Four robots - Forklift's Revenge, Anorakaphobia, Overkill and Fire Storm all introduced the weapon in Series 3, although only Fire Storm managed to achieve any significant success, finishing third when it was equipped with conveyor belts in addition to its front-hinged flipping arm. After Series 3, only a single competitor used the weaponry again, with Fire Storm and Overkill even abandoning the weaponry in their new forms.

  • Conveyor Belts were the least conventional type of lifting weapon to be used in Robot Wars. Four robots - Forklift's Revenge, Anorakaphobia, Overkill and Fire Storm all introduced the weapon in Series 3, although only Fire Storm managed to achieve any significant success, finishing third when it was equipped with conveyor belts in addition to its front-hinged flipping arm. After Series 3, only a single competitor used the weaponry again, with Fire Storm and Overkill even abandoning the weaponry in their new forms. During the original and Dutch series of Robot Wars, there was never a televised case of a robot successfully picking up an opponent with a conveyor belt, highlighting their ineffectiveness compared to other lifting weapons.
