Flextreme was a tracked robot that competed in the first series of Dutch Robot Wars, and lost both of its battles.
Team member Babeth van Son was actually part of Team Mad Science, the team that entered Project One (which battled Flextreme in the loser melee), but did not appear with the team due to the three member limit. She would appear again in the second Dutch Series as a member of Project Two: Hex'em, while team captain Niels Schotten would join the Alien Destructor team, and later the Tough As Nails team. Currently, Nielsis part of Team RCC.
Its name is a portmanteau of flex and extreme.
Robot History[]
In its first battle against El-Mower, Flextreme found it difficult to meet El-Mower head-on and bring its saw into play. It was struck by El-Mower's blade several times, but stood up well to the punishment. In the last few seconds, it managed to catch El-Mower from behind and attempt to cut into it, with little success. The match ended in a jury's decision, which was in favour of El-Mower.
In the losers' melee, Flextreme took a passive role. It was lifted by Project One, so Flextreme attacked Enderbot. Flextreme was hammered by Enderbot and axed by Project One, but once again stood up well to the punishment. Project One was attacked by Sir Killalot, so Flextreme and Enderbot continued pushing one another. Both robots were still mobile at the end of the battle, and the resultant jury's decision was in favour of Enderbot.
