Overview[]

Big Nipper is a flat invertible robot that takes part in the UK live events circuit, as well as the original and rebooted runs of Robot Wars. It is well known for its horizontal crushing jaws mounted on a lifting arm that can move 270 degrees and lift 200kg.

It took part in the fifth series of Robot Wars where it lost in round 1 of Series 5 to eventual champion Razer. After being redesigned and rebuilt, it reached its heat final of Series 7, losing to The Grim Reaper. It was redesigned once more for Series 8 of Robot Wars, falling in the round robin and finishing third in its heat and returned in Series 10. 

Big Nipper's design and tactics have brought it more success in live events, including winning the 2007 UK Heavyweight Championships and the 2012 UK Heavyweight Championships, as well as finishing 3rd in 2004, 2006 & 2008.

Robot History[]

UK Robot Wars Series 5[]

Bignipper5

Big Nipper was given a very unlucky draw in Series 5, coming up against the 4th seeds Razer in the first round of the heat. However, Big Nipper started better, driving up Razer's scoop and breaking one of the self-righting wings. Unfortunately, Big Nipper couldn't evade Razer for long and Razer quickly got its beak through the top of Big Nipper. Big Nipper escaped, but was quickly caught again and lifted into the air. Razer dropped Big Nipper over the flame pit, and bending one of Big Nipper's claws out of place. Razer pushed Big Nipper into Shunt's CPZ, where the house robot axed the top of Big Nipper, immobilising it completely. The Refbot then counted Big Nipper out, eliminating it from the competition.

UK Robot Wars Series 7[]

Big nipper series7

Big Nipper as of Robot Wars Series 7

Big Nipper returned for Series 7 with a thicker body. In its first melee, it was against The Grim Reaper, Kan-Opener and Barbaric Response. Barbaric Response began by rushing in and tossing Big Nipper across the arena slightly. The Grim Reaper then came in and also flipped Big Nipper, but the invertible machine ran back into the action immediately. Big Nipper raised The Grim Reaper onto an angle grinder, before assailing Barbaric Response unsuccessfully. The Grim Reaper and Big Nipper continued their duel until cease was called, with all four robots still mobile. The judges then decided to put Big Nipper through to the second round of the heat along with The Grim Reaper. 

Big Nipper's team were not afraid of their second-round matchup, as it was noted that Big Nipper's height was lower than its opponents weapon. Big Nipper was unfazed by Jackson Wallop's weapon as a result, was able to shunt its opponent into the arena walls repeatedly, stopping its spinner each time. Big Nipper made a conscious effort not to raise its lifter, as this would give Jackson Wallop a chance to make contact with its weapon. Big Nipper used its claws to destroy a tire on Jackson Wallop and pushed it into Dead Metal's CPZ, who sawed into it, and eventually pitted Jackson Wallop, putting Big Nipper through to the next round. 

In the heat final, Big Nipper met The Grim Reaper once more. It was able to get straight underneath The Grim Reaper and lift it, pushing it into the arena wall. After this, however, The Grim Reaper escaped and flipped Big Nipper several times. Big Nipper's invertibility meant it could continue driving, but The Grim Reaper was leading the battle at this point. However, Big Nipper made a late comeback, and slipped underneath The Grim Reaper, pushing it into a CPZ. Big Nipper's assault didn't end, and Big Nipper carried The Grim Reaper over to the arena wall on the opposite side, where cease was called. In one of the closest heat finals in Robot Wars history, the Judges voted for The Grim Reaper, eliminating Big Nipper from the competition.

2004 UK Championships (Winter Tour)[]

Big Nipper was one of the competitors that signed up for the Roaming Robots Winter Tour 2004 which was also the first UK Championship to take place since Robot Wars TM had left the screens.

It met Terrorhurtz in a qualifier battle at Newport and won that which had given it entry into the finals at Doncaster.

In the first round it beat Ewe 2 to go through to the Quarter-Finals where it managed to beat Mute.

Then in the semi-finals, due to Mute having won the loser's melee, Big Nipper took on Mute again. It was given a piggy back by Mute and was pursued around and lost on a judges decision.

Big Nipper then fought Ewe 2 again in the play-off. In a failed-attempt flip, Big Nipper got its jaws underneath Ewe 2's flipper, picked it up before throwing it out the arena, nearly taking Big Nipper with it, but Big Nipper took 3rd place as Ewe 2 was out the arena first.

2005 UK Championships (Winter Tour)[]

Big Nipper came back for the 2005 UK Championships being seeded 2nd as Mute who finished 2nd the previous year had to pull out. Big Nipper met Beast in its first qualifier battle at Macclesfield where it was thrown out of the arena.

It returned for the Birmingham event where it turned over Terminal Ferocity before putting holes in it and dumping it down the pit which resulted in earning points for a place in the finals at Folkestone.

In round 1 it met the top seed Terrorhurtz which was extremely hard for Big Nipper. Terrorhurtz pounded Big Nipper all over and Big Nipper never could get it's jaws to good use and get Terrorhurtz out the arena. The fight went to a judges' decision which went against Big Nipper, eliminating it from the competition.

2006 UK Championships[]

Big Nipper returned for the 2006 UK Championships where it shared a heat with Weird Alice 2, Edge Hog and Hades. It was thrown out the arena by Hades but won its other fights against Edge Hog and Weird Alice 2. Fortunately, Hades had lost one of its 3 battles meaning it had tied with Big Nipper so they had to fight again, Big Nipper this time won the battle after Hades broke down.

In round 2, Big Nipper faced the flywheel of Scorpion and to fight them, Big Nipper had its claws replaced by a titanium scoop which worked well, protecting Big Nipper. Fortunately Scorpion's disc stopped and Big Nipper was triumphant after being the more aggressive.

Next it met the dutch PulverizeR, also with the scoop on, in the quarter-finals where Big Nipper won the fight on a judges' decision after being the more aggressive.

Next it met Turbulence in the semi-final, Big Nipper managed to lift them off the ground once but Turbulence got away quickly and managed to throw Big Nipper out of the arena, eliminating it from the competition.

In the Play-Off, Big Nipper met PulverizeR again where it managed to claim 3rd place after being the more aggressive.

2006 Winter Tour[]

Big Nipper came back for the Winter Tour but it only took part in one battle which was a qualifier match at Doncaster against Dantomkia. Big Nipper was doing well, having a pushing contest to start off with but Dantomkia retaliated and flipped it out of the arena.

2007 UK Championships[]

Big Nipper came back for the 2007 UK Championships at Wales, it shared its pod with Leveller 2 Mk4 and Envy. It defeated Leveller 2 Mk4 by shoving it down the pit.

It was thrown out the arena by Envy in its next battle, but it had still earned enough points to go through to the finals.

In round 1 it defeated Iron-Awe 5 after one of its motors failed and won its quarter-final against Beast as it carried it around the arena and was overall the more aggressive.

It met Iron-Awe 5 again in the semi-final who lost drive in a motor yet again and Big Nipper had gone through to the grand-final where it met Terrorhurtz.

The fight ended as Terrorhurtz broke down due to a dodgy speed controller, meaning Big Nipper had claimed the 2007 UK Championship title.

2008 UK Championships[]

As top seed and reigning champion, Big Nipper returned for 2008. It met Leveller 2 Mk4 in round 1 and beat it by picking it up and dropping it down the pit.

Next it met Tiberius 4 in the quarter-finals who got turned over against the arena wall were it couldn't self-right.

Next in the semi-final against Iron-Awe 5's powerful flipper, it had enormous staying power, managing to keep itself within the arena but it unfortunately drove itself into the pit, eliminating it.

Big Nipper then met Ripper Evo in the play-off. Big Nipper was the more aggressive over Ripper Evo, who lost the bungee cord for its flipper, meaning it couldn't return to the armed position. Big Nipper won the judges decision, winning 3rd place.

2009 UK Championships[]

Big Nipper also took part in the first year-long UK Championship in 2009. It met And His Army in its first qualifier match at Barnsley who was toyed with a lot before eventually going down the pit.

Next it met Kan-Opener at Cardiff who also got pitted and also won its next competition fight at Swindon against St Hammer and Terrorhurtz after Terrorhurtz went down the pit.

All those wins resulted in entry into the finals at Wigan at the end of the year. In the first round it met Meggamouse, reigning champion Iron-Awe 5 and Ripper Evo. Big Nipper got thrown by Iron-Awe 5 and then teamed up with the other 2 robots on Iron-Awe 5, pushing the champion down the pit. The fight went to a judges decision which was awarded to Big Nipper after it was more aggressive.

Next it met Terrorhurtz in the semi-final which was really painful, Big Nipper took a lot of axe-blows from the 2004 UK Champion, one which disabled the lifter and another had damaged the speed controller, causing Big Nipper to go out of control and was also eliminated.

2010 UK Championships[]

Big Nipper came back for 2010 seeded 2nd. It won its qualifier match at Barnsley after Scorpion drove into the pit and was more aggressive over Anger. It also won its next battle at Whitwick against St Hammer, Big Nipper currently has 10 points in the championship.

UK Robot Wars Series 8[]

Big Nipper 2016

Big Nipper in 2016

Big Nipper appeared in Episode 3, where it fought newcomer TR2, and veterans Or Te and Supernova. In the battle, Big Nipper debuted its 4200rpm spinning disc.

Big Nipper's first move in the battle was to follow the movement of Or Te, but Supernova knocked out Big Nipper's opponent before its own disc had even made contact. Big Nipper was followed by Supernova, with their spinning discs clashing, the latter winning out, knocking Big Nipper backwards, so it pressed the pit release button, yet strangely the pit did not descend. Big Nipper clashed spinning weapons with the now toothless Supernova, but an attempt to push TR2 into the now-open pit nearly sent Big Nipper skidding into the pit itself - three of its four wheels luckily stayed grounded, and Big Nipper escaped, qualifying for the next round with TR2 when Supernova fell into the pit.

For its first head-to-head match, Big Nipper switched to its claws for the battle with TR2, the reason being that their disc shaft had bent in the opening melee. Big Nipper was thrown into the wall by TR2, and then flipped into the clutches of Dead Metal, which sliced into its top armour, nearly severing the safety link. When the pit was opened, Big Nipper drove right onto the edge of it again, escaping from TR2. This time, Big Nipper could not drive away, and was pushed in by TR2.

Big Nipper next faced King B Remix, and returned to its spinning disc armament, with much confidence. Although it did not start perfectly, being slammed by King B, and being impaled on an arena spike after driving there themselves, and was pushed towards the pit, Big Nipper turned the battle around when it started tearing into the rear panel of King B Remix, throwing pieces of plastic across the arena floor. Two heavy hits threw King B into the air, removing its safety link. Big Nipper celebrated by spinning in the centre of the arena with its arm raised. 

Big Nipper had a chance to qualify for the Heat Final if they could defeat Dantomkia. It was flipped several times in the opening stages, gradually nearing Sir Killalot, which held Big Nipper above the flame pit. On a slam, however, Big Nipper ripped the end of Dantomkia's flipper off, despite being pushed back into Sir Killalot, which trapped Big Nipper before becoming stuck in the arena wall. Big Nipper's disc appeared to stop, and it was thrown into the air by Dantomkia. Avoiding Dead Metal, Big Nipper finally got its disc spinning again, ripping armour from Dantomkia and putting a bend in the flipper arm. Cease was called when Big Nipper was pushed into the arena wall, and the Judges were required to call a winner, unanimously voting in favour of Dantomkia, eliminating Big Nipper on a final score of 3 points.

UK Robot Wars Series 10[]

After only participating in Series 9 as an unused reserve, Big Nipper made its return in Heat 2 of Series 10. Its Group Battle saw opponents in the form of Series 9 champions, Carbide, and a fellow returnee from Series 8, Gabriel 2. For this fight, Team Titanium opted to outfit their lifting arm with a static wedge, as additional defence against the bar spinner of Carbide. However, the producers outlawed the use of this weaponry, and Big Nipper instead entered the battle with its vertical spinner equipped.

As Carbide and Gabriel 2 moved towards each other, Big Nipper backed into space to get its spinning weapon up to speed. Big Nipper was then approached by Gabriel 2 itself, and although it made contact with its disc, Big Nipper came off worse for wear from the meeting, with its top left wheel pulled out of position as a result of a bolt from Gabriel 2's entanglement device falling into Big Nipper, which lost drive on one side as a result. Big Nipper remained active for the time being though, using the gyroscopic effects of its weapon to edge across the arena and outside of its own circumference. Big Nipper then connected with a hit to one of Gabriel 2's wheels, sending the thwackbot into the Arena Tyre. Rogue House Robot mode was activated, with Big Nipper shoved to one side by Shunt after taking a hit on top from Gabriel 2.

Shortly afterwards, Big Nipper came to a complete stop, and was counted out. An immobile Big Nipper then took a hit from Carbide in the remaining seconds of the fight, resisting the blade well, while both Carbide and Gabriel 2 survived to a Judges' decision. Gabriel 2 joined Big Nipper in dropping into the Robot Redemption round, with Carbide victorious.

Here, Big Nipper faced Crackers N Smash after it finished second in its Group Battle against Eruption and Aftershock. Team Titanium opted to retain the spinning weapon for this battle.

In the opening moments, Big Nipper and Smash exchanged minor hits, before Big Nipper sent one of Crackers' entanglement devices flying. Big Nipper followed through on this attack with a drive on Crackers' into an unoccupied CPZ. After spinning away, Big Nipper charged into Smash, sending it into the other half of the clusterbot.

As a result of this hit, Smash had impaired mobility, so Big Nipper turned towards Crackers and tore away the other entanglement device atop the green machine. Big Nipper continued its assault on Crackers by buffeting it into Sir Killalot, where the House Robot parked itself on top of it.

With Crackers now occupied, Big Nipper turned its attention back towards Smash - using its spinning disc to force Smash back against the arena wall. Then, after repositioning itself to the side of Smash, Big Nipper came in with a gigantic blow, which sent Smash airborne. Smash's trajectory upwards was only stopped after it crashed into the lighting equipment above the arena, before it landed down into the trench below - eliminating Smash.

After its staggering hit, Big Nipper suddenly put itself into danger, as it tangled with Shunt and was lifted up by the Floor Flipper. Big Nipper regained its composure though, and then engaged with Crackers again, which although had freed itself from Sir Killalot, was suffering from mobility issues itself. Big Nipper bumped Crackers back into the CPZ, where Sir Killalot placed it over the Flame Pit. Crackers, unable to gain traction on the arena hazard, was subsequently counted out, and Big Nipper was able to celebrate freely in the centre of the arena.

Now into the Heat Semi-Final, Big Nipper was placed up against Eruption, with the team opting for the disc over the claws for a third time in a row. Before the fight, Team Titanium swapped out Big Nipper's titanium forks for wider aluminium mounts and titanium blades, which were made much sharper and lower in an attempt to negate Eruption's flipper.

Both machines jostled for position in the opening seconds, before Big Nipper attempted to dart into space. However, in its drive away, Big Nipper caught itself on the Flame Pit, bending one of its front forks. After continuing to evade Eruption by darting through sparks ejected from the Arena Spikes, Big Nipper was flicked over by the flipper robot.

Unable to self-right quickly enough, Big Nipper was flipped again by the Series 9 runners up, although its spinner caused visible damage to Eruption's flipper on the landing. Big Nipper continued to be put on the retreat, and then found itself overturned by Matilda. In trying to put itself back onto the side where its forks were on the floor, Big Nipper activated the Arena Tyre, which signaled for the Fog of War. After vision was restored, Big Nipper ramped over the front of Eruption and back into danger with Matilda. With a tusk attack from the House Robot withstood, Big Nipper charged towards Eruption, crashing into its opponent. Another flip from Eruption soon after saw Big Nipper land on its front forks, bending them further.

Big Nipper then went on the retreat for a long period, with a minor flip from Eruption and a glancing hit from Big Nipper, the highlights during this period. Eruption then hurled Big Nipper into an empty CPZ, before Eruption flipped itself over, as Big Nipper swiftly self righted before backing over and away from Eruption's weapon.

With Eruption still adjusting after self-righting, Big Nipper forced Eruption back against the arena wall with a drive. An Eruption flip was then followed up by another Big Nipper ram, but Eruption finished the stronger, with a succession of flips as the fight drew to a close.

With seconds remaining, Big Nipper was put under pressure by Matilda's flywheel as it attempted to right itself, before one final flip from Eruption was carried out as 'cease' was called. Big Nipper's efforts across the 3 minutes were not enough to convince the judges, with Eruption awarded a unanimous decision, sending it through to the Heat Final, while Big Nipper dropped into the Third Place Playoff.

After its loss to Carbide, Aftershock was Big Nipper's opponent, with the winner gaining a place in the 10 Robot Rumble. Big Nipper matched Aftershock with its weapon choice, setting up a vertical spinner face-off.

Big Nipper started aggressively, clipping Aftershock with its first drive, before digging into Aftershock's front wedge with its subsequent hits. Both machines remained in close with the other, before a massive collision between the two vertical spinning weapons sent both machines flying in opposite directions.

After using its weapon arm to put itself the right way up and then skirting over a firing Floor Flipper, Big Nipper re-engaged with Aftershock. Big Nipper was then able to put Aftershock on the back foot, as it knocked it onto its back before a strong drive sent Aftershock clean over. Big Nipper continued its strong spell by hitting Aftershock's side panel, before one final blow sent Aftershock cartwheeling through the air and onto its back.

Aftershock's weapon had also ceased to function after this blow, and with it unable to self right, the robot that finished fourth in Series 9 was counted out. Big Nipper raised its arm upwards and spun around in delight, and its place in the 10 Robot Rumble was confirmed.

In the 10 Robot Rumble, Big Nipper fought Apollo, Eruption (again), Sabretooth, Terrorhurtz (again), Track-tion, Iron-Awe 6, Concussion, Expulsion and Thor in one last-man standing battle. For this battle, Team Titanium elected to use its claws for the first time in this series, as it would offer the robot a much longer battery life when compared to its vertical spinner configuration.

Big Nipper started the Rumble tentatively, backing away before pushing and throwing Expulsion onto its tool spinner. It drove up the side of Apollo just as Concussion dislodged Track-tion’s right track, before turning round and attempting to prise Track-tion’s track clean off, but without success. Big Nipper reversed and drove towards Thor; it then proceeded to pursue and lift Apollo using its claws, although not without lifting itself up in the process. This left Big Nipper vulnerable to a pair of attacks from Sabretooth, whose drum clipped one of its claws and threw it against the wall. Big Nipper levered itself off the wall using its arm, before dodging Apollo and driving into Concussion as ‘Fog of War’ was activated. It backed towards one of the entry gates, before driving into Sabretooth and Apollo; seconds later, Big Nipper drove into the side of the Series 8 champion again, shortly after the latter threw Iron-Awe 6 across the arena.

Avoiding the chaos, Big Nipper drove towards Eruption, helping Concussion steer the Series 9 runner-up into Terrorhurtz before lifting Eruption just as Sir Killalot intervened. It bumped into the entry gate while attempting another side-on slam on Apollo, before pursuing Eruption again and getting thrown onto the top of Iron-Awe 6 by the latter. Big Nipper turned and sped away as ‘Rogue House Robot’ was enabled, driving into and pushing Eruption into Thor as Michael Oates’ machine threw itself over. It retreated into an empty CPZ to avoid Sir Killalot and Shunt, before chasing Concussion – dodging Iron-Awe 6 in the process - and getting slammed side-on by the latter as it attempted to charge into Thor. As ‘Fog of War’ activated again, Big Nipper and Concussion stopped in the centre of the arena, before driving into each other again as the ‘fog’ cleared.

Big Nipper drove through an empty CPZ, before getting underneath and throwing Apollo over itself with its claws. Seconds later, it slammed into Eruption and Apollo again, sparks flying as its claws hit Sabretooth’s drum in the process. Big Nipper avoided getting flipped by Eruption, before charging into Terrorhurtz and Concussion, lifting the former off the floor. It almost backed itself into the pit, before again lifting and dragging Terrorhurtz across the arena. However, Big Nipper got one of its claws stuck on the edge of the Floor Flipper as it drove away, allowing Shunt to leave his CPZ and strike it with his axe. Big Nipper escaped before driving into Apollo three more times and charging into Thor; however, Thor pushed it back into Sir Killalot’s CPZ using its axe. It escaped quickly and attempted to lift Thor up in response; however, Big Nipper was swiftly attacked and pushed into Apollo by Sabretooth, sparks flying as its claws hit the former.

After bumping into Terrorhurtz, Big Nipper drove away towards Shunt, narrowly avoiding his axe in the process, before driving into Apollo and Terrorhurtz within seconds of each other. As it drove around the pit, it dodged Thor, only to drive up Eruption’s flipper; Sir Killalot proceeded to push Big Nipper and Eruption into the Arena Tyre mount, triggering ‘Rogue House Robot’ once more. Big Nipper struggled to drive away as Sir Killalot continued attacking Eruption, but shot across the arena and bumped into Apollo and Thor. It proceeded to lift and push Eruption towards Sir Killalot seconds after the latter threw Terrorhurtz into him, but was intercepted by Thor and pushed towards the pit.

One of Big Nipper’s wheels hung over the edge as Thor slid itself in, leaving it unable to drive away properly. Eruption capitalised on its predicament by gradually bumping and pushing it fully into the pit, eliminating Big Nipper from the 10 Robot Rumble. Defeated, Big Nipper levered itself fully in with its arm and attempted to climb out with it just after ‘cease’ was called, but its campaign during the main competition of Series 10 had drawn to a close.

World Series[]

Big Nipper was also invited to represent the United Kingdom during Robot Wars: World Series. In its first battle, it faced two representatives of Team Rest of the World, the Russian entry Weber and Dutch entry THE BASH. Big Nipper was equipped with its claws for the entire World Series special, and began this fight in the CPZ, while its partner Eruption started the fight for the UK.

Despite being out of the action in the opening period, Big Nipper still aimed to affect proceedings, as it attempted to lift Weber as it entered its CPZ. Despite not succeeding in this attack, Big Nipper entered the fray soon after, and brought its front claws into play on the immobile THE BASH. In trying to save its teammate from further punishment, Weber flipped THE BASH away from Big Nipper's clutches - although in doing so turned the Dutch machine over. Big Nipper used this opportunity to edge THE BASH into Dead Metal's CPZ, where the House Robot sent sparks flying from the rear of the beaten machine. Just like seconds earlier though, Big Nipper found Weber in at close quarters when it attempted to attack THE BASH, with Big Nipper's backside flicked upwards by the Russian flipper as a result.

After wriggling itself loose from THE BASH, Big Nipper focused its full attention on Weber. Following an initial jostle, Big Nipper drove Weber across an unoccupied CPZ and pressed it up against the arena wall. Big Nipper then raised its claws which were already underneath Weber's flipper panel - thus allowed it to lift Weber into the air temporarily. Despite the Russian machine coming back down and then pulling a wheelie to move away, Big Nipper remained in hot pursuit. A swift backwards manoeuvre then saw Big Nipper evade an attempted Weber flip, before Big Nipper decided to tag Eruption back into play. In its time back out of the action, Big Nipper missed out on some action involving the two active competing machines with Dead Metal. This prompted Big Nipper to join the fight again, even though it wasn't tagged. Despite being flicked slightly by Weber, this proved to be the Russian robot's last real involvement, as a strong Eruption flip left Weber beached on its back, unable to self-right. The two opponents were beaten, and Big Nipper and Eruption turned on Dead Metal, with Big Nipper's claws getting jammed into the front of the House Robot. A hail of sparks followed as Dead Metal attempted to throw Big Nipper aside, before cease was called, with Team UK opening up the episode with 3 points.

Big Nipper's Head-to-Head fight saw it face Canada's Robot Wars veteran Terror Turtle, with Big Nipper's claws the weapon of choice again.

An instant head-to-head slam between the two saw Terror Turtle's front-left panel peeled outwards. Big Nipper then squeezed its claws inside Terror Turtle and attempted to drive it back. Despite its initial attempt at this overbalancing Big Nipper, Graeme Dawson readjusted his machine to accelerate Terror Turtle into the CPZ. As it completed its drive, Big Nipper darted over the Arena Spikes, which churned harmless sparks. However, on the other side of the flash was Matilda's flywheel, which clattered into Big Nipper. This sent its entire top-left panel flying and ruptured Big Nipper's lithium polymer batteries, causing the machine to catch fire.

A flip from Matilda followed, which left Big Nipper's electronics dangling out from its body. Thankfully for Big Nipper, Terror Turtle had ceased to function during the House Robot attack, and although Big Nipper was stunned it was still functioning. Big Nipper began to smoke during Terror Turtle's countdown, but was still able to see things through, and racked up another 3 points for Team UK. Ultimately, Team UK won the episode overall by a margin of 16-3.
