Apollo
Apollo was a heavyweight robot which competed in Series 8, 9 and 10 of Robot Wars, and was the champion of its debut series. Apollo was known for its powerful flipper, being one of the first to flip robots out of the new arena, doing so to four robots in total, and also being the only robot to flip the new versions of Shunt, Matilda and Dead Metal over, having overturned Dead Metal in particular twice.

Participation Information UK Series: 8-10 Team Information Team: Team MAD Team Members: Dave Young, Marc Dermott (Series 8-9) Ben Bacon (Series 8) Alan Young (Series 10) From: Conwy, North Wales Associated Robots: Kronic the Wedgehog (Distant predecessor) Robot Statistics (As of Most Recent Appearance) Weight: 107.9kg Top Speed: 20mph Power: LiPo Batteries 48v Drive: 2x AmpFlow A28-400-F48 Weapon: Pneumatic Flipper @ 1,000psi (Series 8) Armour: 66mm HARDOX steel (front) and 3mm HARDOX (elsewhere) EXTRA INFO: Apollo also entered Series 9 and reached the Heat Final, before being eliminated in a rematch with Carbide. It qualified for the Grand Final regardless through a wildcard, but fell in its Group Battle after being immobilised by Aftershock. In Series 10, a dominant run from Apollo ceased in the Heat Final when Behemoth flipped it into the pit, and although Apollo was the last robot to be defeated in the 10 Robot Rumble, it could not win its second wildcard. Apollo would also captain Team UK in the first episode of Robot Wars: World Series, securing the team's overall victory by defeating Diotoir in its final appearance. TRIVIA: - Apollo and Eruption are the only robots to fight each other in three consecutive series. - Apollo was the first competitor robot beginning with a vowel to become grand champion compared to previous grand champions that begin with consonants, the second being Eruption. - Apollo is one of two Robot Wars champions to have lost at least one fight in the same main competition it won, the other being Eruption in Series 10, and is also the first champion to lose more fights than a competitor who did not win the championship (TR2). - Both robots which beat Apollo in the Series it won went on to become UK Champions themselves, after losing to Series 10 champions Eruption in the heat and Series 9 champions Carbide in the Grand Finals. - Apollo is also the only Robot Wars champion to be eliminated during the heat of its title defence. - However, it would later reach the Series 9 Grand Final through receiving the wildcard, the only defending champion of any domestic series to do so. - Apollo shared a much-publicised rivalry with Carbide during Series 9, with the Series 8 Grand Final rematch dominating the marketing for the show. Apollo and Carbide are one of four occurrences where two teams fought five times during the show's run, alongside Razer and Tornado, Firestorm and Panic Attack, and Ironside3 and Pulsar. - Apollo was the first competitor to flip a House Robot since their rebuilds, flipping over Dead Metal, Matilda and Shunt during its heat. - Apollo is one of two competitors to flip Matilda over while she wore her flywheel, the other being Tricerabot, and one of two to flip Dead Metal, the other being Gravity.
