Anvil Mk I
In March 2000, Station Workshops at Royal Air Force Kinloss received a request to build a 'Robot Wars' style machine to perform at The National Skills Show 2000 in June at the NEC.
Anvil I is a rambot, due to a lack of time, the weapon was not built, and the chassis quickly swallowed the weight allowance.
