Robot Wars Arena/Series 8-10

The 2016 series Robot Wars Arena was the six incarnation of the Robot Wars Arena, used for the six most recent episodes of Robot Wars. The arena was custom built at a previously unused warehouse in Westway Park, Renfrew, in Glasgow, making this arena the first to move outside of England. The wooden painted flooring of old was replaced with 6mm steel, with the arena walls being described by BBC Two's Twitter as "bulletproof".

General Description
The arena consists of a square, 6mm steel surface, surrounded by a wall made from bulletproof glass, which had been heightened considerably from the previous year, making out of the arena flips possible for only the strongest of flippers. The colourscheme of the main arena is grey, surrounded by red and black perimeters.

Hazards
The following hazards appear within the arena:


 * The Pit of Oblivion appeared once again, activated by the pit release button, and outlined by a red square.
 * The Corner Patrol Zones remained in the arena corners, patrolled by either Shunt, Dead Metal, Matilda, or Sir Killalot.
 * The Floor Flipper, boasting roughly the same power as it did in Series 7.
 * The Flame Pit, on the opposite end to the arena flamethrowers.
 * Flamethrowers lined one side of the arena
 * The Arena Floor Spikes appeared for the first time since the arena of the Third Wars, with a set of five being more obviously placed on the floor, outlined by a red square.
