Heat B of Robot Wars: The Second Wars was the second of twelve heats which determined the Semi-Finalists of Robot Wars: The Second Wars. The episode featuring Heat B was originally broadcast on November 13, 1998 on BBC Two.

This heat was notable for a number of different reasons. Chaos became the first robot to attempt to use a self-righting mechanism to save itself from defeat, although it was not successful. Chaos was also the first seeded robot to appear in a heat. It was the first time a robot fell into the Pit of Oblivion, although it was not in a fight, nor was it by a competitor robot. Also, Wheelosaurus became the first axlebot to appear on the show, and the first robot to attack a house robot by means other than a flipper.
