According to the page, it is powered by two 12 HP gas engines. So it wouldn't surprise me.

Briggs & Stratton makes electric motors too? Didn't realize that... I just thought the "Etek" name was a coincidence.

Mechacidal Maniac, made by Brian Nave, the maker of The Revolutionist/Phrizbee. It made it to the fight to the finish in it' season 2 episode, but was beaten by Ill-Tempered Mutt.

Limpet, built by the 13 Black team.  Only in Series 2, and fell in the Skittles trial

and it looks a heck of a lot cooler if you ask me. You should make a cardboard model of it...

...than 13 Black you mean?  Interesting.  I'll think about it, although I've had my eye on some special scissors that make a zigzag pattern as you cut, and I was thinking about doing some robot with a sawbalde, which would have been impossible to do before.

Yeah, I'm weird.....13 Black was a cool looking robot, don't get me wrong, but I've always liked the impractical idea of tracked wedges, and the zebra pattern is really nice.

Both of them where horrible robots. I do like Limpet a little more.

Carlo Bertocchini of BioHazard fame was also making a SHW for one of the later BattleBots competitions, but it was never finished.

Did 13 Black make Limpet as well? Awesome, I liked Limpet. I would have liked to have seen it eliminate Roadblock, that would have been an interesting moment. I wonder how that would have changed the course of Robot Wars.
