All football arenas are the same. But in robot combat, Britian uses an arena where you can throw your opponent over the barrier, and America uses one where you don't. The home country has a huge advantage because they get to decide whether or not there will be walls.
Kossokei, pretty much everything you're saying is flawed. You can't make the arenas the same because then they wouldn't be suitable for the robots that regularly compete in them. Our arenas are never going to change that much, neither are the American's.
Oh I'll be doing some banging.......
So from what I've seen on FB there are going to be two Combots-style tourneys each year, as well as smaller, Robot Wars style tourneys every two months or so. Also, there will be a house robot.Also, the first tournament will not have spinners, but it will be spinner-friendly for the first "world" championship.

No spinners in MW/HW ? What are they, Robot Wars ?Quote from: SKBT on July 12, 2013, 05:18:17 PMDid we mention we are bringing back house robots…kill it with fire
House robots are surely a positive step forward. The main reason Robot Wars is going so strong over here is due to how much it has been adapted to a show. As much as everyone says that they're "not fair" they can be kept out of the way whilst competition fights are ongoing.Unfortunately the "no house robots" and "no arena hazards" approach that Combots/Robogames took failed (as far as I can tell anyway) so surely adapting the events to increase popularity from an audience point of view has to be a good thing.
No more Bigger Brother vs. Hypno Disc
Get out.If your main weapon breaks up, then you have no chances to beat your opponent anymore. That's kinda stupid for a tournament like Robot Wars.
