T.R.A.C.I.E. (standing for Terrestrial Robotic Artificial Computerised Intelligent Engine) was a competitor robot that fought exclusively in the first series of Robot Wars. It reached the Grand Final in its only appearance, ultimately losing to Roadblock after getting itself beached on the featherweight Cunning Plan during the battle. The robot was built by students from KEGS School in Chelmsford, including actor Joe Thomas, who is best known for portraying Simon Cooper in the British TV sitcom The Inbetweeners.
