Snow Leopard (Chinese: 雪豹, romanized as Xuěbào) was a heavyweight robot from Kazakhstan which competed in Season 1.5, the debut of This is Fighting Robots. It was selected for the blue team by Zhang Yishan, although it lost its first battle after being quickly immobilized by Xiake, and was subsequently dropped from the blue team.
Design[]
Snow Leopard was one of the only robots in the competition to use a six-wheel drive, with six exposed wheels at the sides of the very large machine. Snow Leopard's weapon was a hydraulic crushing arm, which works in tandem with two protruding wedges to grab other robots, and control them around the arena. The weapon was relatively powerful, but its exposed wheels presented a weakness to spinners, and Snow Leopard would also be instantly immobilized if turned over by a flipper.
Robot History[]
This is Fighting Robots (Season 1.5)[]
During the celebrities' initial selection process, Snow Leopard was the fifth and final choice of Zhang Yishan, allowing the robot to bypass the preliminary rumbles. Within the main competition, Yishan drafted Snow Legend as his choice for a rumble, and in response, two other celebrities chose to challenge it with bar spinner Slash Boy, and the successor to the King of Bots Season 1 runner-up, Xiake.
Snow Leopard and Xiake immediately targeted one another, and sparks flew when Xiake's drum collided with the front forks of Snow Leopard. This caused the Kazakh team to flee, but Snow Leopard drove straight into the bar spinner of Slash Boy. This halted its progress, and Xiake bulldozed its way past Slash Boy to strike the exposed wheels of Snow Leopard, ripping one of them away. Snow Leopard was driven into the arena wall, and became immobilized. Snow Leopard's celebrity captain, Zhang Yishan, would later flip Xiake over using his control of the floor flipper, but Snow Leopard had already been eliminated from the battle.
At the end of the round, Snow Leopard became the second robot that Zhang Yishan dropped from his team, after Hammer Hammer, and Snow Leopard was eliminated from the competition.
