Robot History
Series 3
Scarab fought in Heat P, facing Victor 2 in the first round. Both robots met in the centre of the arena, with Scarab immediately grabbing hold of Victor 2 and trying to use its jaws to crush Victor 2's body and wheel. Scarab backed away, again grabbing Victor 2 and upending it, causing Victor 2's flail to tear off the protective mesh protecting its internals. Despite this, Victor 2 steered Scarab towards the wall and pushed it into Sir Killalot, with Scarab appearing to be immobilised as it was raised by the arena spikes, which punctured its tyres. 'Cease' was called, and Scarab was eliminated.
