  • Dartford Girls Grammar was a team from the Kent-based secondary school which was one of the longest-competing teams in Robot Wars, having competed in the first five series of Robot Wars, as well as Extreme 1. The team was made up of technology teacher David Crosby, with the other team members (apart from his daughter Tegan Crosby) being his students. Despite having a reputation for fragile and inoffensive robots, the team did surprisingly welll, reaching the Semi-Finals in Series 2 and the Heat Final in Series 3. In five wars, the team never lost in the first round.

  • Dartford Girls Grammar was a team from the Kent-based secondary school which was one of the longest-competing teams in Robot Wars, having competed in the first five series of Robot Wars, as well as Extreme 1. The team was made up of technology teacher David Crosby, with the other team members (apart from his daughter Tegan Crosby) being his students. "I found a note in my pigeon hole at school which referred to the first series. I got a group of girls together and we designed 'Detonator' over a lunchtime session, produced a proposal diagram and shipped it out to Mentorn." — David Crosby on entering Robot Wars. David Crosby's students were the first high-profile female roboteers in Robot Wars history, with Greenaway and Allgood driving the robot in most of its battles; Clare Greenaway also became the only female roboteer in history to complete The Gauntlet, coming first in the Semi-Finals. Despite having a reputation for fragile and inoffensive robots, the team did surprisingly welll, reaching the Semi-Finals in Series 2 and the Heat Final in Series 3. In five wars, the team never lost in the first round. In Series 1, the team called themselves "The Femme Fatale".
