The first walkerbot to ever appear in Robot Wars, it also became the first to win a battle, emerging victorious in the Rumble after all of its opponents became immobilised around it. "I came home from work one Friday evening to be bombarded with questions from our children saying "Daddy we saw a program of fighting robots, can we make one". I watched the repeat on Sunday and I thought it looked a lot of fun. For the next couple of weeks I mulled over the idea of building a robot for the program, and then decided “let’s go for it!” . It appealed to me as I have since a child wanted to build a robot, and the competition gave me the reason for doing so. It also brought together, rather nicely, a lot of my interests into one project, electronics, radio frequency equipment, machines, computers, and programming... paradise." — Ian Inglis on building Jim Struts As it only competed in the Reserve Rumble, Jim Struts is one of the few robots to have never lost a televised battle, a feat which was later repeated by its successor, Miss Struts.
