Cutting Discs were a type of small rotating weapon usually prevalent in the original series of Robot Wars. They were specialised to cut, slice and tear into other robots, targeting their armour, wheels/tracks, aerials, batteries and other sensitive components, and were capable of causing severe or terminal damage. Series 4 Grand Finalist Pussycat was the most notable robot to be armed with a cutting disc, while the first robots to feature this weapon were Plunderbird 1, Torque of the Devil, Uglybot and Scrapper, all of which competed in Series 1.
