IT was an early exit for Oxfordshire's latest machine to appear on the BBC show Robot Wars.
Engineers Sean Cleary, Laurence De Bruxelles, Jon Elmer and Dominique Andreson created their own fighting bot Sweeney Todd for the cult programme.

Competing against three other robots, it was eliminated alongside fellow bot Kan-Opener.
