What makes Push to Exit unique...

Returning from last series, Shane and Stuart have a new ‘dream team’, and have partnered up with father and daughter Paul and Amelia. Shane himself is a very experienced roboteer, and built Push To the Exit within three weeks. He feels this time he has given himself the chance he needed to perfect the ‘flawless’ robot. Alongside Amelia whom is the youngest in the competition, they have created an innovative design, and added ‘Pier Pressure’ on to Push To Exit which will be hinged at the front of the robot in an effect of having a backward style flipper.
