At least that means that the floor won't get turned into sawdust (by spinners if they are given the thumbs up). Bit off topic but what's the floor made from on the live events? :)

Hope they keep the arena in the old colorscheme

Nope and there likely won't be until airing. All we know is the floor will be 6mm Steel rather than wood.

The old arena was made of wood?! Okay I'm not that surprised the original was made with tables but that what about later series's?!

I came across what I think is an application video. Doesnt look that competitive.

You know what? That actually amazes me. To think, they could make something look so... Metallic with some wood.

Would love to see that thing getting shred into pieces.

I would love for Bigger Brother to come back with Joe and Ellie just to see how much they have grown over the years.

And screw WBC, where's my Diotoir boys at? I want asses kicked and bubblegum chewed!

(And flaming fur.)

New hosts and logo have been confirmed. Dara O'Briain, Angela Scanlon, and Jonathan Pearce.

cephalopod · « **Reply #115 on:** February 03, 2016, 06:29:19 AM »

From what I've heard, calls are also going out this week to teams. So everyone will be going very quiet.

jackster96 · « **Reply #116 on:** February 03, 2016, 07:16:08 AM »

Hmm curious to see how Dara will be as a host, as I've only ever seen him as a comedy show host, would of been nice to see Charles return to host but change isnt always a bad thing. Great to see jp return anyway.

Seeing the response to the presenter news on Twitter is making me almost embarrassed to be a Robot Wars fan. These people are buried too deep in their nostalgia to accept that things change.

I agree. It's kinda shame that Craig Charles won't be hosting but I'm fine with that. I'm looking forward to Dara and Angela how they will be hosting the show.

i dont really care who it is as long as they're good. honestly the host doesn't matter much, its the commentator that does all the work. JP has had a great track record unlike those goofballs they got for battlebots

ALSO EXCUSE ME THE ROBOT WARS LOGO HAS TEXT ON THE LEFT SIDE NOT THE RIGHT THIS REBOOT IS TRASH
