Robot Wars

Robot Wars is a national knockout competition to find the toughest, most advanced fighting robots in the country. In this fast paced series, competing teams of amateur robot designers build robots to fight to the death in a bulletproof arena. Overseen by the hosts of the show and a panel of judges, 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! Each week, robots built by members of the public face one another, as well as the invincible House Robots, in the Robot Wars arena. The rebooted show takes place in a purpose built, state of the art, bullet proof fighting arena. (Viasat)
