Typhoon 2
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Typhoon 2 was a contestant in the UK television series Robot Wars, noteworthy for being the final champion of the show before it was cancelled. It was a full-body spinner with cutting claws. In two battles in series 7, which it competed in, it knocked out the arena wall, causing the match to restart. It was created by cadets from the Air Training Corps and painted to resemble the RAF crest. Named after the Eurofighter Typhoon. It also had a featherweight called Typhoon Cadet.
