Here we have some of Pussycat's highlights, where it beats champions and Semi-Finalists alike

Razer: can take on all the house robots at once also Razer: gets beaten by Pussycat TWICE!

Proof that even the most unusual designs can be devastatingly effective under the right driver. Pussycat was never designed to be a robot that was easy to get its weapon where it needed to go, yet it took out some huge names, often being used like some sort of bludgeoning device rather than a conventional spinner. The loss of almost all of its team members was one of the biggest losses to the Robot Combat world

To this day, Pussycat remains one of my favorites if not my all time favorite RW machine.

Pussycat is the definition of don't judge a book by its cover.

At first the machine looked lame but holy cow it's efficient! Beautiful simplicity.

I remember going to a local library where Alan Gribble actually brought Pussycat for a display and showed off the featherweights. He actually let me drive Kitty (the featherweight version of the main machine) most likely because I was the only kid over the age of about 7 who showed up. He showed me how to drive it and how it worked, was great fun. One of my fondest memories.

For such a simple, if a little unorthodox machine, Pussycat is such a fun robot to watch in the arena. For years I never thought much of it until I started revisiting its fights on youtube in the years leading up to the reboot.

Pussycat and Razer unique but similar as well. They're both the only robot of their weapon type (razer the crusher and pussycat the saw) to make the weapons truly destructive and gain lot's of victory

Those house robots in the last clip are a monstrosity.

Combination of simplicity and excellent driving.

Pussycat was and remains one of the greatest bot designs of all time. Truly a cat not to be trifled with.

This is a brilliant robot. I always loved it.

Looking back, Pussycat was a fantastic bot. That blade was more powerful than it had any right to be

In the beginning, quite a few robots had cutting discs as a weapon, but they were never really affective and people simply moved on to big heavy flywheels. But pussycat kept their spinning blade, improved it and took out some very dangerous competitors with it. It is not a co-incidence that it beat hypno disc and razer in the a near identical manner. Those original Pussycat boys meant business. The weapon was quite literally like a cats claws tearing into you. Very underrated robot imho. Look at how bad it chopped razer up in that series 4 fight. Admittedly razer couldnt move, but that was probably the most damage ive ever seen done to razer in UK Robot wars (not sure about overseas).

No doubt that the pilote is really good and the bot is resilient. It just needs its weapon to be more powerful and it would be a nightmare for its oponents.

Sadly, that first fight would be the last time we saw Rex and Team Cassius in RW.

We should get Stinger's closest battles, it had a ton seeing as it was kinda the wobbofett (I hope I spelled that right) of robot wars; every time you hit it, it just retaliated with another blow.

How is that tiny little sawblade so durable?

This awkward design of Pussycat has proven very effective.

I often remember robots just getting stuck on something or breaking down.....was kinda underwhelming when you wanted a battle to see which one was actually designed better.

Pussycat admittedly got very lucky in some of these fights but it is a good design that has done legitimate damage against some good robots like panic attack and Thermidor 2

So unique to use the blade for taking of antenna, wheels, and slowly trimming down. No wonder they were annihilator champions, the most grindy robot team ever. Every bot in this video, even the ones where it went to judges were moving slowly, and so haggered on close inspection.

When the pizza cutter is tired of cutting pizzas

A metal shredder obstacle should be added to the arena

Rip team Pussycat.

Pussycat: the Randy Orton of Robot Wars. #LegendKiller

Completely forgot about that Panic Attack fight.

Pussycat was amazing she was the best and my favourite

Happy new years njgw

If I'm remembering right, Pussycat are: All Star Champions Annihilator Champions Tag Team Champions 2nd Overall Series 4 Arguably one of the best to never win the main competition

Pussycat a great Robot, and it’s still the only one to beat Razer by knock out.

I definitely think Pussycat is one of the best robots in robot wars to never win the title. It made 3 semifinals and a grand final. Runner up in the 4th series beating Hypno-Disc who was the most fear robot at the time. It beat the World Champion Razer twice. It won all side competitions Tag Team Terror, Annihilator and All Stars. It only lost by judges decisions and was never immobilised. It also won the American Robot wars War of Independence. Need I say more.

THIS WAS THE BEST ROBOT OF UK. THE MANCHESTER UNITED OF ALL ROBO WARS..!! 😍😍😍🥰🥰

"Claims unfair damage was done." What does this mean exactly? Isn't a free for all so long as you're inside the time limit?

How that tiny blade did any real damage is beyond me lol

Pussycat needs a stronger and faster blade, then it is ready for next year.

David was unbelievably good

Pussycat the god slayer.

Hey, NJGW - What's your favorite bot of all time?

Pussycat is like Rocky Balboa, the only thing they are good at is taking a beating untill the opponement is tired and than ATTACK

What I found slightly sobering about the Robot Wars reboot was the obvious decline of originality amongst the British public. Despite nearly two decades advancement in technology, there was none of the creativity in design. Razer, Chaos 2, Hypnodisk, Pussycat, Stinger, Behemoth, Panic Attack, Dominator, Wheely Big Cheese.. all totally original and different approaches within the rules. It was a golden age of British garden shed engineering!

Maybe it should be called Black Cat because it gives so many opponents bad luck.

Also....Look at the condition of thermador II at the START of the battle here 3:52 vs the end here 5:38. Looks like it's been through HELL.

At first I thought the win against Cassius 2 was lame, then when they showed the slo-mo I realized Pussycat pulled off a bit of brilliant strategy by exploiting the charge and keeping track of the arena and turning away at the last second for Cassius to end up in the pit. It was the robot version of "rope a dope". It would be like complaining about Muhammad Ali sitting there against the ropes getting beaten up for 10 rounds, then beating a tired opponent. Lesson for me is, outdriving your opponent and luring them into a trap is totally valid.

All the British comments 😂 nice one gang

Wow

My favorite robot :) It's just a shame about Pussycat's last televised fight :(

If only that saw blade spun faster. It seems like it's powered by a really weak motor.

7:57 where's Jack Black?

18:16 This must be after david gribble died in the bike accident because he isn't driving (pussycat) & his dad isn't there either, is that his mother/brother?.

Think you mis-spelled *being the best.

If Pussycat faced Stinger in the series 4 grand final I think it would’ve one

So.. IDK the rules for robot construction. Would it be allowable to make a very heavy and powerful box with a low center of gravity and no exposed moving parts. Simply ram the #%$ out of everyone. No weapon. Everything is power and armor. Has someone tried this?

Look at the babying of Razer by the house robots. Instead of laying into him like they would any other incapacitated bot, they refuse to fire their weapons. Shunt attempts to unstick him from wall (or prevent Pussycat from inflicting further damage), and when he’s obviously knocked out Dead Metal takes him straight to the pit. No sawblade, no drop zone, no floor flipper or flames. Straight to the pit to prevent any more damage. Talk about favoritism.

20:50

6:05 What's the logic of Dominator2's exposed tires? They make easy targets for a sawblade or spinner.

Lol first two wins are more errors on the other drivers than pussycat doing anything. Razor rams the wall and gets stuck, Cassius 2 drives into the pit for no reason.

Never get tired of seeing Pussycat dishing out the destruction to Razer they liked to dish out. The Razer boys simply couldn’t handle receiving what they though funny to do to others.

Hmmm...looks to me like, with a couple exceptions, pussycat just got extremely lucky.

Y

Damn,did that Razer loss even count? kinda lame he just gets stuck and thats the end of it. The things saw blade wasnt even strong enough to damage Razer.

new wrestler defeats old champions one by one - the story old as the world - hard to watch all these scripts

A

he didn't beat razer, razer beat itself

I am thoroughly unimpressed with every aspect of pussycat. Somehow it keeps winning though. I'm sure the insides are well-made, but I'd really like to see pussycat go up against some north american bots because none of these opponents seemed very capable. Off the top of my head, tombstone, bronco, and minotaur all would win this matchup with ease. It's not impressive when the opponents aren't impressive

It was always one of my least favorite robots.

Such an incredibly boring robot to watch. Their entire style revolves around getting lucky hits and the opponent breaking down and having virtually no capability for real, raw damage.
