Razer's four-wheeled drive train used a skid-steering arrangement, whereby the wheels on one side of the robot rotated faster than those on the other to turn the machine.

Razer's rubber front wheels were replaced with spiked metal ones for the second series of Robot Wars Extreme. Razer's arm was often said to exert nine tonnes of force however, it was the hydraulic ram which produced up to nine tonnes of pressure per square inch (1,395 kg/cm 2, 137 MPa) at its output, and this was geared down to three tonnes per square inch (465 kg/cm 2, 45.6 MPa) at the tip of the arm. Razer's hydraulic system pumped pressurised liquid, as opposed to pneumatics where a force is generated by the controlled release of a pressurised gas. This was based on the principle of the fly press, a piece of machinery used to bend and pierce metal through progressive force. Their choice of weapon was a piercing arm attached to a hydraulic ram and powered by a pump, itself powered by a motorcycle starter motor. Razer was designed and built by Ian Lewis and Simon Scott who, after watching the first series of Robot Wars, agreed that combat robots had potential to be considerably more destructive than the pioneering machines on display. It returned to active combat in the 2016 revival of Robot Wars but lost in the first round. After retirement, Razer appears in non-combat demonstrations as part of Robo Challenge educational displays and events. The team behind Razer later constructed a new combatant called Warhead specifically for this competition. Razer also competed in the American television series BattleBots, winning three of its five head-to-head battles and the 1999 Gigabot Rumble. It was featured on Robot Wars merchandise including a DVD and video games, and had a pull-back toy created in its image-one of which was later modified by Ian Lewis to function as a fully radio controllable miniature version of the team's original heavyweight machine. With a record of 40 wins and 6 losses (one through concession) in the UK Robot Wars series, Razer is recognised as one of the most successful competitors in the programme's history.

The popularity of crushing and piercing weaponry in robot combat events is attributed to Razer, which inspired many imitations. In later series of Robot Wars, an interchangeable hook was attached to the arm to lift robots immune from being pierced. The arm is also an integral element of Razer's winged self-righting mechanism, which rolls the robot back onto its wheels if inverted. This weapon was inspired by the principle of the fly press -a piece of machinery used to bend and pierce metal-and maximises damage through the use of hydraulics. The arm was designed to pierce opponents' armour plating and break their internal components, rendering them impaired or immobile. Razer's weapon is a piercing arm which exerts approximately three tonnes of pressure per square inch (465 kg/cm 2, 45.6 MPa) at its tip. Despite gaining a reputation for being unreliable, it was champion of the fifth series of Robot Wars, runner-up in the sixth, and won the first two Robot Wars World Championships. Razer was designed and constructed in 1998 to participate in the second series of Robot Wars, but subsequent modifications and improvements enabled it to remain competitive until its retirement after the second series of Robot Wars Extreme. It was constructed by Simon Scott and Ian Lewis from Bournemouth the team later expanded to include webmaster Vincent Blood. Razer is a combat robot that competes on the British television series Robot Wars. Statistics from Razer's television appearances (as of 24 July 2016)
