Weapon
Bulldog breed is fitted with a pneumatic CO2-powered flipper with a section which can be manually raised before a battle to aid self-righting. The flipper blade is also spiked.

Bulldog Breed's armour consists of a 4mm Hardox front with 3mm titanium top panels and 8mm aluminium sides.

Robot History Overview
The original Bulldog Breed was built in 1999 by The Press Gang, the robot's original team. It was first fitted with a pair of circular saws but all models since the second model (there have been around 5 models in total) have instead had a pneumatic flipper.

Although it was retired for many years since the end of televised Robot Wars in 2003, the robot was sold to Team Avenger in 2012 (after Bulldog Breed's original team had to pull out of the 2011 UK heavyweight championships) who brought it back to fighting condition and but sold it in 2014 to its current owners.
