**Type-0** was a walker antweight created by Oliver Steeples of the University of Reading that was one of the very first competitors to ever compete as well as being the first walkerbot in the Antweight World Series. Although Type-0 had a rocky start, it eventually became one of the most successful walkers in the earlier events. Type-0 retired after AWS 9 and was rebuilt into Pixiedust.

Type-0 was named after a prototype Mecha from the anime Patlabor.

## Robot History

### AWS 1

    In its first battle, Type-0 fought Cannon Fodder. Both machines made slow progress towards the centre of the arena. Cannon Fodder's wedge allowed for it to easily pick Type-0 up and slowly drive towards the edge of the arena. Type-0 attempted to get away but was eventually shoved off.

Next, Type-0 fought Dozer. Both machines were slow to meet in the middle and once they did the battle was tedious with neither gaining much traction to push one another. They both turned as Dozer attempted to get around the sides to push, failing to push Type-0 further. Eventually, Dozer sped away and turn around, reversing into Type-0, which seemed more effective at pushing, and shoved Type-0 off the arena.

It's third fight was against Pants. Before the battle Type-0 seemed to have had some technical problems as it struggled to move correctly. Pants quickly made its way to Type-0 and hammered away with the axe. Pants backed away and turned slightly before pushing Type-0 off the arena.

It's fourth fight was against Tyrant. Type-0 was working more effectively this time but it was quickly out pushed by Tyrant. Type-0 was struggling to get away as Tyrant came in for another attack and promptly pushed it off the arena.

The final fight Type-0 was against Odyssey. In an effort to allow for a fairer competition, Odyssey sat back and waited for Type-0 to make its way across the arena. At first Type-0 attempted to walk up the ramp, but failed to do so, it then turned and walk across the side where Odyssey came out and attempted to flip it. Odyssey, swarmed Type-0 as it flicked away with its scoop. Odyssey then shunted Type-0 about before pushing it off the side.

### AWS 4

In the first round, Type-0 was against Cannon Fodder and Plod where it was eliminated.

### AWS 7

In the first round, Type-0 was against Tank Top, Close Shave and War Pog where it qualified alongside Close Shave.

In the second round, Type-0 faced Resurrector and Combat Ant. Both Resurrector and Combat Ant attempted to perform a pinser attack on Type-0 but as they slammed against it from both sides, Resurrector started to push Type-0 and in turn Combat Ant towards the edge where Combat Ant, by being on the opposite side of Type-0, was pushed off the edge.

In the third round, Type-0 faced Vacant and Resurrector. Vacant charged towards Resurrector, leaving Type-0 behind but it ended up getting wedged by the scoop of Resurrector who ended up pushing it towards Type-0. Both Type-0 and Resurrector ganged up and pushed Vacant off the arena.

In the fourth round, Type-0 faced Phantom, Anticyclone and Satan's Little Helper. Not much is known other than at one point both Type-0 and Satan's Little Helper performed a pinser attack on Anticyclone. In the end, Type-0 was eliminated from the competition.

Type-0 later competed in the Walker battle against fellow walkers Abel and Stagger. The battle started off slowly with Type-0 making the first move towards Abel. The two robots pushed against eachother with little effect. Eventually Stagger followed Type-0 in attacking Abel, pushing Abel towards the edge of the arena. However, Type-0 accidentally toppled itself as it pushed Abel in the corner with Stagger lingering about. It is unknown who won.

### AWS 8

In the first round, Type-0 was against DominANT and Stagger where it qualified alongside DominANT.

In the second round, Type-0 was against Psycho Ant and TriumphAnt where it qualified alongside Psycho Ant.

In the third round, Type-0 was against Resurrector and War Ant where it was eliminated.

### AWS 9

    In the first round, Type-0 faced An Cupla and War Ant. Both clusters of An Cupla split off and attacked the corresponding opponents. However, War Ant was able to easily push one of the An Cupla clusters off the arena while the other cluster held Type-0 against the side wall. Type-0, however, used its lifted and toppled the other cluster.

In the second round, Type-0 faced Buzzant and Combat Ant. Combat Ant used its weapon to smash into Buzzant, sending it on its side and almost out of the arena as it then targeted Type-0. Type-0, however, got to grips with Combat Ant and pushed it into the saw blade of Buzzant. It is unknown how Combat Ant lost.

In the third round, Type-0 faced Rebel. As Type-0 just barely started up, Rebel rushed over and got underneath Type-0 and flipped against the side wall. Unable to self right, Refbot counted Type-0 out. This was Type-0's last fight.
