With 6 episodes, I'd be expecting a Battlebots model, maybe 32 at most.

Litterally, I was just thinking 'bout that. It's probably a he most likely way they might do these if the traditional heat format is still around for this.

This is amazing tbh, just annoying seeing all the people on Facebook ect wanting all the original house robots and presenters back that I can't see happening? I thought battlebots was good with the changes. If all the original presenters ect are there good if not then change is good anyway. I'm also curious on how the format of the competition will be run.

I'm welcome to seeing changes. I was fine with BattleBots, I'm sure changes to Robot Wars will be fine.

We could be looking at some spinners; a while back John Findlay was asking for a list of all active heavyweight robots, including spinners.

Hola senor.

I can do this, I'd be saving the episodes after I record them anyway.

I guess thats what the "bulletprove arena" hints at

also sonny you know you have to recreate the whole new series when it come out right? :P

With battlebots and Robot Wars beeing back (feels so good to type this) I can see other (bigger) gaming companies tossing theire hat in. hopefully not EA though...

All American's will be able to watch it with a proxy and BBC iPlayer.

Edit: Also, think this guy's going to end up having a full archive if he decides to upload this show (which he may do due to the video):
(the video is nothing interesting itself, just good to see the revival of this YouTube channel)

It was some truly great news to know that BattleBots got rebooted, but honestly, this is what I waited for ten times more. It's so awesome, hard to believe it is happening.
I'm somewhat afraid that they may butcher the thing, and it most probably will be without JP and CC... though, I've been watching it with awful russian dubbing back in the past days... it was still cool. So I guess anything can work out, if there are robots involved...

FYI Craig Charles has informed us that he hasn`t been asked but he is willing to do the job if offered via twitter

Scorpio · « **Reply #34 on:** January 13, 2016, 05:46:55 PM »

YES X3

In all seriousness though, it's gonna be awesome seeing the show that brought me into robot combat come back. If Battlebots did it successfully, who's to say RW won't?

The two most lovable members of the RW mod team are entering.

Our entry may or may not be in the mod, you'll have to look for it first though.

Philippa · « **Reply #36 on:** January 13, 2016, 06:39:48 PM »

Does anyone know if this will be Heavyweight only? Or will there be sub-weightclass stuff too?

cephalopod · « **Reply #37 on:** January 13, 2016, 06:41:02 PM »

Very strongly believed to be HW-only.
