robots are robots, not living things
You shut your whore mouth! Tanto is much better with the eyes (they are a permanent fixture so deal with it).

That's cool, keep building boring bots with no personality so that when you build a heavy we'll definitely get accepted over you, we appreciate it :>

Hate to be a broken record but is there any information available regarding when the first show will be broadcast.

The lack of answers almost implies that nobody knows ;)


We won't be on TV.


Spinners are in, the arena just wasn't ready for them at the pilot.
I'm talking about the first actual episode, not the pilot :rage

Yeah, but if you humanize your robot, people will feel uneasy about hitting it, that must be their plan!

I'd strongly recommend avoiding Instagram in particular if you don't want any spoilers. I have been told also about Twitter containing a few, but I haven't seen any there in particular myself.

Saw ten fights today, six four-way Round One rumbles, and four one-on-one Round Two battles from across four Heats. Round Two is now a Round Robin style thing instead of straight elimination, and the five Heat winners and a Wildcard go to the Grand Final.

BTW Robot Wars Wiki is either in the process of an update to include pilot or is fully updated, so avoid any new articles to avoid spoilers. Should be common sense but I didnt realise a bot was new and got slightly spoiled so thought i would mention it.

Robot Wars Wiki have a zero tolerance stance on spoilers, so I'd assume it's safe to use it, unless a troll/unaware user posts spoilers, which will quickly be deleted.

Nope, we're only publishing pilot info for now.  Anything related to the TV show proper won't be published until the BBC starts making announcements.  Avoid the Robot Wars Facebook groups, some idiots are posting photos they took at the event, which was the ONE THING the BBC asked them not to do.  I decided to bounce before I said something I regetred.

On the topic of the pilot, 2:09-2:55, someone sneakily took video and caught part of my interview with Angela :)
