Robot Wars is centred around the sport of robot combat teams of roboteers fight robots against each other avoiding arena hazards and "house robots" - some household names include Shunt, Matilda and Sir Killalot. Mark Thorpe was the brainchild of Robots Wars and came up with the idea whilst trying to make a remote controlled vacuum cleaner! It was hugely successful and future series were confirmed for the next 3 years.
In 2004 the series was axed, but returned to TV in 2016 with a new arena, house robots and presenters. History Robot Wars TV series started in UK first broadcast on BBC in 1998. I took a look at the toy with my two kids aged 8 and 6.ĭisclaimer: Hexbug sent us a BattleBots Arena to review. We hope kids using this toy, however, will be inspired to build their own robots in future.
The Hexbug BattleBots Arena lets kids bring that experience into their own homes without needing to build their own robots. There seems to be something really appealing to watch robots battle it out for survival and marveling at the engineering ingenuity of the roboteers. Both TV series have experienced a revival in the last couple years and growing in popularity. Hexbug developed a set of battling robots inspired by the popular TV series BattleBots (USA), a spin-off of Robot Wars (UK).
