Voodoo 2

Description
Voodoo 2 was created following the retirement of Voodoo Chilie, reusing most of the parts from the original machine but featured a much shorter body and a wedge from Robot Wars competitor Vulture. It was retired following the major damage suffered at EXR Bolton 2019.

EXR Portsmouth 2019
Voodoo 2 was first meant to fight Jibril but Jibril was switched out with You Little Ripper moments before the fight started as the transmitter had broken. This fight did not last long as after a little tussling, You Little Ripper got in underneath Voodoo 2 and flipped it out of the arena.

In its second fight, Voodoo 2 went up against Bump and Grind. Starting the fight in reverse to get better traction, Voodoo 2 pushed in underneath Bump and Grind to get hung up on the corners of the wedge, eventually being separated by the house robot. The two continued to push each other before Bump and Grind's removable link fell out and was eventually pitted by the house robot, giving Voodoo 2 the win.

EXR Bolton 2019
For this event, Voodoo 2's drive motors were reversed around to be directly behind the wedge rather than at the back of the robot and a stabilising peg was fitted.

In it's first fight, teamed with Backflip and Smash, Voodoo 2 went up against You Little Ripper and Audacious. After tussling again with You Little Ripper for a bit, it got stuck on the arena floor flipper and was flipped, causing the bodywork to split in half on landing. This, combined with Backflip being flipped and losing gas lead to the team's defeat.

In the second fight for Voodoo 2, after being pushed by Jibril, Voodoo got stuck on the arena pit, the stabilising peg stuck in a gap. You Little Ripper than flipped Voodoo 2 upside down and then flipped out of the arena, causing it to lose the match. Voodoo 2 was then pulled out of the event owing to the damage it had sustained.
