Robot Wars
Robot Wars is the ultimate fighting robots competition, in which teams of amateur robot enthusiasts build and battle to the death fighting in a series of rounds in a huge purpose-built bullet-proof arena. Their aim is to win the coveted Robot Wars Champion trophy.
Overseen by hosts Dara Ó Briain and Angela Scanlon and a panel of judges, with commentary from the legendary Jonathan Pearce, the competitor’s robots battle against each other using powerful weapons including pneumatic hammers, blades, flame throwers and pick axes.
Also up against the competitors are the fearsome and charismatic House Robots whose purpose is to ambush and destroy. In each timed round, the winning robot is the one which disables its adversary, traps it in a pit or feeds it to the House Robots – but which team will be crowned Robot Wars champions?
