abstract | - Iron-Awe was a series of robots that participated in Series 4, 6 and 7 of Robot Wars. The team also entered Series 5 with Axe-Awe. Iron-Awe 2.1 was the most successful of the team's machines in UK Robot Wars, reaching the Heat Final after flipping the seeded Bigger Brother out of the arena in its second round battle. It was then outclassed by Typhoon 2 in the Heat Final and immobilised after several hard blows from the future champion. However, it was later repaired in time to compete in a special Axe Attack battle against Hydra and Kat 3, which it won. Its name was a pun on "Iron Ore", a mineral used to make Iron. The team tried to enter two new versions of Iron-Awe, Iron-Awe 5 and Iron-Awe 7, into Series 8 of Robot Wars, but they were not chosen to compete.
