Toon Raider 2 (UK HW)

Toon Raider 2, often abbreviated to TR2, is the third heavyweight robot owned by Team Toon Army and the successor to Toon Raider. Alike to most of Team Toon Army's robots, Toon Raider 2 is painted in Newcastle FC's colours. The name is a pun on the Tomb Raider franchise.

Drive
Toon Raider 2 has two-wheel drive. Each wheel is driven by a Bosch motor at 750W.

Weaponry
Toon Raider 2 is fitted with a wide back-hinge flipper running on full-pressure CO2.

Chassis & Armour
Toon Raider 2's shell is Hardox.

Other
As with many British robots of a similar shape and design, Toon Raider 2's wheels jut out slightly from the back at the bottom of the robot. Whilst this can occasionally lead to wheelying, it also makes Toon Raider 2 more difficult to stack against walls, as the wheels remain on the ground at more angles.

Robot History: Overview
Toon Raider 2 was built in 2013 to fight alongside and ultimately replace its predecessor Toon Raider. Whilst the flipper appeared a little underpowered at first, Toon Raider 2 has become increasingly potent, able to defeat previous UK heavyweight champions and finalists such as Ripper and Manta.
