Third time lucky for series 2 of Robot Wars with the least dodgy episode yet! Four returning robots are joined by 2 newcomers to be systematically annihilated by Mortis. Craig Charles is also there.
Featuring less controversy and a considerably more boring trial, series 2 advances another machine to the semi final which is absolutely not fixed no it is not fixed it is a fair competition mate.
We sit down with Alex Brown to chat about all things bot!
Ah, December 28th/29th, the days that celebrities and robots celebrate Christmas, a magical time of year. It's time to find out which celebrity would make the best roboteer! As long as being a roboteer requires not having to build a robot yourself.
Now offering a whopping 15 episode season, Robot Wars came back for another series bigger and better than before (not that that's a difficult task to begin with). Rob and Benji take a look at the first heat with the debuting Sir Killalot and the all new totally-not-fixed-100%-fair-competition system made specially for this new series!
The end of the brief but certainly noteworthy (if not for all the right reasons) Clarkson Era of Robot Wars. Benji and Rob look at the original 1998 season as a whole and who'd have thought? It turns out Robot Wars improved drastically over the years!
Also known as that one episode where all the robots start playing Hungry Hungry Hippos and nobody is quite sure why. Ends with a totally fair and completely thrilling Grand Final to decide the very first champion of Robot Wars.
Featuring the classic Cone-Head from Silent Hill along with star of 50s sci-fi B-movie Psychosprout, this episode has one of the oddest line-ups of any heat.
An audio guide on how to absolutely not stand a chance in the grand final of Robot Wars. 6 tiny robots compete for a chance to be completely destroyed by machines 5 times their size, what an amazing prize!
Robot Wars 2016, the big return... is no longer a part of the present or future. It's over, it's done, war is over (for a year). Rob and Benji take a look at the series as a whole and give out a number of awards, including the coveted John Cena Never Give Up Award all the bots were brutally fighting for this year!
The end of the road for Robot Wars 2016! With the grand prize of a giant drill bit on the line, you know each and every team will be giving it their all!
The penultimate episode of the new series has arrived and we now discover who our finalists are (with the exception of the Thor. Sorry, I meant 'wildcard' ;) ;) ). Possibly the most controversial episode of the series so far, Rob and Benji try to make sense of the insanity before them. Also Pulsar is scary sound. Big loud scary sound.
Finally we can be thankful that the production team installed a camera onto the ISS, with all the robots finding their way into orbit this episode. Known as 'Heat D for Death', half of the robots this episode claim to have some of the most powerful bot-weapons in the world... let's see how they do.
The third heat of the new season, marking the halfway point. Ever think it would be a good idea to enter a petrol-driven wooden machine in a flame-heavy, destruction oriented fight to the death? No? Well, Overdozer Orte know by now.
Eight more mighty machines duke it out for a place in the Grand Final. Will Thor's mighty hammer send Shockwaves across the Foxic environment of the arena? Or will something something M.R. Speed Squared pun? There's only one way to find out...
It's back! In new and shiny HD. It's time to find out which competitive robotics team make the best sausage rolls. I'll give you a clue: it's Razor.
Also known as the episode where robots played football that one time and it wasn't very good. Featuring a robot with no weapons at all, numerous robots that needn't have bothered with weapons in the first place, and a robot that nearly explodes when nervous, which happens to be a lot.
The second set of robots go head to head in one of the more feel-good episodes of the series. Featuring robots from Cambridge University's fierce machine Mortis, to the only lightly-prodding weapon featured so far on the most definitely not remotely mighty Leighbot. Who can come out on top?!
The first time the nation was gripped by metal things hitting each other, occasionally at great speed. How does the now near two-decade old 'First Great War' stack up in the age of HD and phones doing our thinking for us?
