TV role for taper shank drill
14 October 2016
Robot Wars was been back on our TV screens during the summer with 40 distinct combat robots battling it out to become the 2016 champion. One of the house robots featured – Sir Killalot – is a 740kg robot with a 2.5t pincer grip and top speed of 10mph. On one of its arms is a 2in taper shank drill from Guhring.

The Guhring 245 series taper shank drill has been used throughout the series as a tactical feature in battles with contestants.
Sir Killalot is just one of many prestigious projects that Birmingham-based Robo Challenge has delivered; it was also tasked with designing and manufacturing the Robot Wars trophy which has at its centre, the Guhring 245 Series Drill.
