The Parthian Shot was a rounded box wedge shaped robot that entered Series 2 of Robot Wars. However it never managed to compete as the robot broke down and the team ran out of time to fix it. The Parthian Shot also qualified for The Third Wars, but once again had to pull out at the last minute for unknown reasons. It was seen in the pits, but not acknowledged on the TV programme, and was discretely replaced by Flipper.

abstract
  • The Parthian Shot was a rounded box wedge shaped robot that entered Series 2 of Robot Wars. However it never managed to compete as the robot broke down and the team ran out of time to fix it. The Parthian Shot also qualified for The Third Wars, but once again had to pull out at the last minute for unknown reasons. It was seen in the pits, but not acknowledged on the TV programme, and was discretely replaced by Flipper. The name comes from a military tactic made famous by Parthian horse archers in ancient Iran, whereby when retreating at a full gallop they would turn their bodies to shoot arrows at pursuing enemies. Through metaphor, this also became the name for an insult delivered as the speaker leaves.
