Storm 2 was the last world robot wars champion, I think.

There was a Vlad the Impaler II? Or is that just the one that had the self-righting mechanism?
I really liked Bender from the Heavyweight class because the team had faith in their robot but NEVER WON A SINGLE FIGHT EVER. 0-5 is what Bender ended his BattleBots career with, which is kinda sad but funny at the same time. It was a nice design (spinning blade tilted down at an angle) but just failed for whatever reason. All the time. In season 5 it was given a total overhaul with a big mean looking saw blade with 2 big teeth on it... and it promptly lost instantly when it was flipped over within 10 seconds of the fight starting. Bender showed up at the most recent BattleBots event and it can only be described now as "terrifying".http://benderbot.net/ (few pics down, giant lawnmower blade)Although ironically enough the team mentions their first fight was against the dreaded Megabyte... and then there's no more posting after that. I think Bender just went 0-6.
Wrong. Bender has a 2-6 fight record, wining against Space Ape and Beta.
