  • Infernal Contraption was a robot that competed in Series 6-8 series of Robot Wars, also entering in the second series of Robot Wars Extreme. It lost in the first round in all of its main series appearances, but reached the second round in the Extreme 2 University Challenge and won an untelevised whiteboard match against Turbulence. Infernal Contraption was built by students and staff from Imperial College London, the college it represented in the University Challenge. In 2016, Gary Ewer returned with three new team members. The robot was originally named Gahra, but this was changed after the Series 5 qualifiers. "We changed because nobody could say it properly!" — Infernal Contraption website on the name change Much like PP3D the year before it, there is an ongoing Kickstarter campaign, running to fund the costs of the upgraded Infernal Contraption in time for Series 10. Rewards include posting a picture of the backers' faces onto the robot.
