Robot statistics correct as of its most recent appearance on the show

An Ordinary Robot? Blimey! was a wedge-shaped robot, with a design similar to the Series 3 Firestorm from Robot Wars, and three front-hinged flipping bars with a small rear flipping spike, which was not used in combat and only used in its demonstration in the pits. The robot was one of the originals, a group of robots created for the original A Heap Of Games playthrough of Robot Arena 2 and was favourites in its heat of Banter Wars Series 1. It did incredibly well, getting to the Grand Final and becoming runner-up. After Series 1, An Ordinary Robot? Blimey! was drastically improved. The rear flipping spike had been completely removed to make way for pneumatic powered side and back srimechs, to keep the robot from getting stranded. Also the flipping bars had been made bigger and more powerful so that way it could self-right as well if it was flipped on its front and so that way it could flip opponents farther.

Robot History[]

Series 1[]

In the first round eliminator, it fought Prick and The Penetrator. An Ordinary Robot? Blimey! and The Penetrator dueled while Prick slammed into the two which caused An Ordinary Robot? Blimey! to start attacking Prick. As Prick ran off, The Penetrator followed got flipped on its back by the arena flipper, and it had no srimech, so it couldn't self right. After this, An Ordinary Robot? Blimey! attempted to save The Penetrator but it was too late as it was then counted out. It then went and attacked Prick, taking off a wheel. However, both robots already qualified for the second round.

In Round Two, it fought I Don't Know What to Call It. Both robots meet in the middle but neither is able to get directly underneath each other, so much so that An Ordinary Robot? Blimey! starts pushing the opponent into the flame grill rather than flip it. The two robots are stuck pushing one another, eventually An Ordinary Robot? Blimey! traps I Don't Know What to Call It by the arena wall, causing a count down on both robots, who are stuck. This causes a replay.
