Androne 4000 is armed with a crushing claw powered by a two-stage hydraulic/electric system, as well as a set of front forks. The team believe they have created the most powerful crusher to ever appear on Robot Wars; its 8 tonnes of pressure means that it’ll either destroy its opponent or it will destroy itself in the process.

What makes Androne 4000 unique...

Androne 4000 began as a team-building exercise at David and Mark’s mechanical engineering firm. Their boss has allowed the pair to work on the robot, jokingly, on the condition that they either win Robot Wars, or they’re fired!
