Biggest Weakness Due to the sheer power of its disc, the team have never fully tested its capabilities in battle as they consider it to be too dangerous.

Supernova is a powerful spinner robot, whose blade rotates at 2,500rpm and is made from 22kg of 12mm of steel. The blade is so powerful that it bent upon testing. The team believe their blade can reach its full spinning potential much faster than most other robots of its type due to the powerful motor they’ve fitted, rendering it an immediate threat to its opponents.

What makes Supernova unique...

Supernova was a crowd favourite from the previous Robot Wars series after its original spinning disc once sliced into the original arena’s wall, ripping a chunk out. When the fight was restarted, it shredded one of Sir Killalot’s track treads.
