Robot History[]
Live Events[]
Monte was built in 2014 and was finished in June, where it made its debut at the team's own event at Edinburgh. It lost its first fight to Merlin, another Team MAD robot, after it was flipped out the arena. Since then, Monte has rarely been fighting at larger scale events and usually only fights at Robots Live's demonstration events, such as those at the Comic Con events held at the likes of Manchester and Glasgow.
2016 Pilot[]
Although Monte did not take part in the main series in 2016, Monte took part in the pilot recording, a camera test filmed on March 1st as practice for the main series a few days later.
In its first battle, Monte was drawn up against fellow Team MAD entry Merlin, former Semi-Finalists Reaper, and successor to Armour Geddon, Wraith. Wraith had technical problems and was forced to withdraw, leaving three robots to fight it out. It didn't take long before the drive on one of Monte's wheels broke, leaving it to drive round in circles, until eventually, it was pitted by Reaper, eliminating Monte from the competition.
