Biggest Weakness Foxic has a weak back end

Foxic is primarily a flipper with four 5 HP motors for drive and a fifth motor driving a one hundred and sixty to one ratio gearbox that activates the lifting arm. The arm has a fox’s shape wedge attached to it which can be removed and replaced with a thicker one for fighting spinners, or hooks. A parallel between Foxic and its animal equivalent is designed around is the tail which can grab opponents like a very large grab lifter. Aside from the fact Foxic is apparently bomb proof, another impressive ability of the one-man built robot is that it is multifunctional.

What makes Foxic unique...

Craig has been competing for over 20 years, but after his failed attempt last series, he is determined this model will work, with a more updated power and drive. Craig originally got into robot building as part of an after school engineering club with the information pack from the first ever Robot Wars. He designed Foxic from a sonic rip-off he created with his best friend when he was a child.
