Biggest Weakness Bonk needs to get close to their competitors in order for their axe to be effective. This puts them at risk of attack themselves.

The sharpened axe aims to penetrate opponents armour or shock damage opponents internal components. If the team do manage to penetrate an opponents armour with the axe and it gets stuck inside the robot,  it could lift the whole robot up and carry any of its opponents. 

While other axe/hammer robots jump as their weapon is deployed, Bonk’s custom made CO2 gas system minimizes the jump. This allows all of its energy to be focused on the axe’s impact.

What makes Bonk unique...

Adam and Daniel’s dad set up the engineering firm, which they now own, when they were eight years old. As children, they were immersed in the business and credit their love of engineering to this.
