Riptilion was a flat dome competitor in Series 6, 7 and Extreme 2 of Robot Wars. Riptilion lost all three of its battles; the first round in Series 6, the first round of the Extreme 2 Iron Maidens, and its world championship qualifier in Series 7 (in which it represented New Zealand). Surprisingly, these losses were not because of its vulnerability to axes and inability to self-right, its official weaknesses.
