Vortex Inducer was a uniquely designed competitor from the second series of Dutch Robot Wars. It lost its only battle against Scarab after failing to move at all, and was ultimately snapped in half by Sir Killalot. The team had previously fought in Dutch Series 1 with Pathetica.
Robot History
Vortex Inducer was drawn against the middleweight shufflebot Scarab in the first round of Heat E. Vortex Inducer's disc was spinning, but both machines lurched forward at such a slow pace that the House Robots chose to push the machines together. When the two competitors made contact, Scarab used its pincers to stop Vortex Inducer's spinning disc, and it became evident that Vortex Inducer had become immobilised, so it was counted out by Refbot. Sir Killalot came in, seized Vortex Inducer with his jaws and picked it up before snapping the thin axle holding the robot together, essentially cutting it in half. Both pieces of Vortex Inducer were pushed onto the Floor Flipper by Sergeant Bash and tossed through the air, before having an oven dropped onto them and the largest part of Vortex Inducer picked up and dumped out of the arena by Sir Killalot.
