abstract	Medusa 2000 was a competitor robot that exclusively fought in Series 4 of Robot Wars. It reached the second round in its only series, before being flipped around and defeated by reigning champions Chaos 2, who went on to win the series. "In 1999, Don Weir was watching an episode of robot wars series 2 with his kids, when suddenly Alex the youngest asked Dad if they could build a robot. At that point everyone started to get very exited. Next day Don started on the design of what was to become Medusa, the chassis began to take shape, 2 car ramps lay on their sides with angle iron welded between. At about this time Don realized that he could do with a hand as the robot would be too heavy to move with just the kids, so Graham Baron was approached a colleague from his previous job. Graham jumped at the opportunity and became a full partner in the venture. Medusa steadily progressed as did the cost Don did most of the design and procurement work Graham did the wiring. The metal work was a joint effort. After some re-designing and many burnt out mosfets we had a working robot." — The origins and construction of Medusa, from the website The original Medusa machine was intended to enter the Sumo event of Series 3, but the event was cancelled following a behind-the-scenes accident that caused a delay in filming.
