Robot Wars features 40 distinct combat Robots, self-built by the competitors, fighting in a purpose-built arena to be crowned champion. The first five episodes are the qualifiers, with the winner of each guaranteeing its place in the Grand Final.

The Grand Final (Episode 6) features the winners of the previous five episodes – alongside one runner-up chosen by our three judges – returning to battle for our coveted trophy.

Episode 1

Dara O Briain and Angela Scanlon host the revival of the programme in which radio-controlled robots created by teams of amateur engineers battle it out in an arena. The machines have to make it through an initial group stage, then head-to-head rounds before the heat final. The first show features students from Reading and a family team from Caithness, as well as a memorable robot from the original series
