It also sports two forks attached to its flipper as well as two hinged forks either side to slide underneath opponents to throw them into the air. Banshee sports a wailing head on the weapon with streaming eyes and long hair spreading up the flipper panel. It also bears traditional Celtic iconography across the top and sides of the robot, as well as a traditional green and brown color scheme. It is one of two robots to be sponsored by Team Malice ahead of the 2022 season, alongside Drago.https://www.facebook.com/malicebattlebot/posts/511694550359419
