Biggest Weakness Overdozer has no self-righting mechanism, and its wooden fibreboard armour may make it more vulnerable than its competitors.

A powerful pusher robot with two 20cm fixed spikes, and a blade taken from a Brush Cutter that spins at 6000rpm. Overdozer has a unique design in that its armour is made from medium density wooden fibreboard. It is the only robot in the competition with a petrol engine.
