Chaos 2
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
- Chaos 2 can also refer to the third form of Chaos, a character from the Sonic the Hedgehog series.
Chaos 2 is a robot from Robot Wars, designed and built by self-employed mechanic George Francis, from Ipswich. Twice winner of the UK Robot Wars Championship, the only robot with that distinction, and the first robot to use its flipper to throw its opponent out of the arena altogether. This machine was also the first to defeat Hypno-Disc (in Series 3). Its flipper is considered to be among the most powerful in Robot Wars, although it is not as powerful as Wheely Big Cheese's flipper. However, its weapon is superior in terms of efficiency and reliability. The team have also competed with Robot the Bruce and Chaos in the past. Its flipper was also used as a self-righting mechanism when the robot was inverted, flipping the entire robot over in a half somersault so it could continue fighting.
Chaos 2 is an inaugural member of the Combat Robot Hall of Fame. It also has its own pullback minibot, and DVD.
