Robot Wars Arena/Metal Mayhem

The Robot Wars Arena is the only arena available to fight in when playing the video game Robot Wars: Metal Mayhem (the Gauntlet arena, available in trial mode, is similar). The Arena is a representation of the Robot Wars Arena, the battlezone used for containing all of the battles during every series of Robot Wars. As the game is based upon Robot Wars: The Third Wars, it is this version of the arena the game attempts to reproduce

Appearence and Hazards
The game's representation of the Robot Wars arena is somewhat poor, although certain features do reflect real-life counterparts. The famous Pit of Oblivion is featured near the top-left hand corner of the arena, and is much larger than in real life. Four Corner Patrol Zones line the corners of the arena, each guarded by a house robot, who will turn to face competitors, but cannot leave their CPZ and so will only attack if a robot is in the zone. In the middle of the arena, all of the flame jets and pits have been combined into one large flame pit, roughly the same size as the pit. Chainsaws, instead of the real life circular saws, line one edge of the arena. On the left hand side of the arena, two large spikes, bigger than real life, will fire at regular intervals. Seven of the competitor robots will be flipped and instantly eliminated if they are caught by a spike (there is no flipping on the game besides this, and there is no opportunity to self-right). The floor of the arena is decorated by several marks and lines, as well as a large grille, but these serve only cosmetic purposes

Differences between the Game and Real Life

 * The pit, flame pit and spikes are larger than normal size
 * House Robots will never leave their CPZ
 * One wall is lined with chainsaws, instead of circular saws
