Kill-E-Crank-E is a robot from the far north of Scotland that fought in Series 8 of Robot Wars. It was eliminated in its Group Battle after driving into the pit in the grasp of Razer: both fell in after Kill-E-Crank-E reversed its driving wheel, spinning both robots around at the corner of the pit. The name Kill-E-Crank-E is derived from the robot's distinctive 'crank' shape, as well as The Battle of Killiecrankie, which was fought between Highland Scottish clans supporting King James II and VII and troops supporting King William of Orange on 27 July 1689, during the first Jacobite uprising.

| - Kill-E-Crank-E is a robot from the far north of Scotland that fought in Series 8 of Robot Wars. It was eliminated in its Group Battle after driving into the pit in the grasp of Razer: both fell in after Kill-E-Crank-E reversed its driving wheel, spinning both robots around at the corner of the pit. Kill-E-Crank-E was built by Robin Herrick, creator of original series Grand Finalists Bodyhammer and Pussycat. The robot's team consists of Herrick as captain and builder, his son Matthew Herrick, Matthew's friend Isaac Potts, and late entry Nick Wells. Kill-E-Crank-E was succeeded by Crank-E, which competed in Series 9. The name Kill-E-Crank-E is derived from the robot's distinctive 'crank' shape, as well as The Battle of Killiecrankie, which was fought between Highland Scottish clans supporting King James II and VII and troops supporting King William of Orange on 27 July 1689, during the first Jacobite uprising.
