Pipe Wench: Team Plumb Crazy
Late one night in the Team PlumbCrazy workshop, things got a little freaky between Wipe Out #2 and Devil's Plunger - and Pipe Wench was conceived. Driven by Wendy (who gets discombobulated driving upside down,) Pipe Wench has the mobility of Devil's Plunger and the self-righting capability of Wipe Out #2. The self-righting mechanism has the added bonus of being able to throw opponents out of the arena! While Pipe Wench did not fare well at her first RoboGames in 2006 (1 win/2 losses), she came back stronger and wiser in 2007 to take the silver medal. As for the future, Pipe Wench has been shopping and is looking to accessorize better.
