Robot Wars Club
The Robot Wars Club is the only wanted page left that can be dealt with. I have tried to write, even a really small page, but I'm struggling at the moment. What shall we do about it? J im laa  d4   3 (talk) 20:52, January 27, 2014 (UTC)
 * I was going to write something up at one point but then I got a bit... sidetracked. Still it was an important part of Robot Wars (you had to join it to enter the show, for instance) so I think there should be something on it in the future.  Stalwart UK  22:08, January 27, 2014 (UTC)
 * Well it looks like we can finally call this case closed. -- Stalwart UK  01:07, August 12, 2014 (UTC)

Recent Inactivity
I'm sure you guys have all noticed that the wiki has had little activity recently. When there was an Arena tournament that people were voting on, stuff happened, as those articles got looked at and fixed, but we have the wiki wars going, which so far only has 2 battles. We need to find something to do. Maybe we could have a community effort to finish the Dead Metal page, or expand the articles on all the minibots. J im laa  d4   3 (talk) 19:03, February 21, 2014 (UTC)
 * We could try to get any information for the Minibots, as the pages are really bare. Anyone who has them all, could we maybe get the weights of them all? J  im laa  d4   3 (talk) 23:49, March 5, 2014 (UTC)
 * Well that's hardly going to fill out the pages, is it? There's really not much you can say about the minibots. I have them all, though I'm not sure how I would weigh them. Toast  Ultimatum  00:05, March 6, 2014 (UTC)
 * Weighing scales? Well, some robots had a lot said about them (This one) while others have very little (This one). I'm just concerned that the wiki has run dry when there are stub still out there. As I said, if we all had a community effort to slowly work together moving through the job list one at a time, A) There would be some decent activity again; and B) the wiki would become a more happy place. For example, there is a list of episodes that need expanding. We could all choose a few episodes that it is our job to expand. J  im laa  d4   3 (talk) 00:23, March 6, 2014 (UTC)
 * I was going to say, some of the episodes are in need of expansion. CrashBash (talk) 07:40, March 6, 2014 (UTC)
 * Also it might be a good idea to check when the minibots (and possibly the other toys) were released as I have a feeling based on when I went to the official Robot Wars website once that they could be wrong.  Stalwart UK  09:30, March 6, 2014 (UTC)
 * Way back when, I was halfway through drastically expanding Series 4 Heat M, when my laptop broke and my screenshots for the next battle were lost and I sort of gave up. There's always work to be done, and if you're worried about inactivity in the future, and want a big task for everyone to pitch in with, we could always try to expand all the heat pages to the size of Series 4 Heat J along with, as I mentioned earlier, the first three battles of Heat M. There's always room for improvement. RelicRaider (talk) 12:53, August 12, 2014 (UTC)

House Robot Rebellion house robots
Currently the various House Robot Rebellion pages all have different ways of listing the house robots that took part in them (and sometimes show their stats). I think it's time sorted this out and came up with a more standard way of showing them. Personally I would have a list of some kind in the "Competiting Robots" sections but I'm not sure that would suit the Extreme Warriors pages (which were full blown tournaments as opposed to single events).  Stalwart UK  23:22, February 21, 2014 (UTC)

Spelling, Nomenclature and Grammar on User's pages
Here's something I've always refrained from, but always wanted to do. On user's own pages, can/should we change spelling and grammar? Stuff like Iron Awe (instead of Iron-Awe) and its/it's or just bad punctuation are a bit annoying, but is it right to edit pages like that? Thought below? J im laa  d4   3 (talk) 20:29, March 30, 2014 (UTC)
 * Only if they ask for it. If thy're violating a rule, then it's ok, but editing people's pages without their permission, it's a slippery slope to "correcting" dissenting opinions.   Proper grammar or lack thereof is a reflection of one's abilities and regards to personal image, and the last thing I'd want to do is distort someone's reflection.  R A 2 ; aka Resetti's Replicas.

Did You Know
There is no facts left in the Did You Know facts for consideration page. Sam (BAZINGA) 20:09, April 30, 2014 (UTC)
 * I know, and I've tried to come up with something good, but it's a no-go at the moment. J  im laa  d4   3 (talk) 20:39, April 30, 2014 (UTC)
 * Maybe start recycling the old ones? Christophee (talk) 20:55, April 30, 2014 (UTC)

Original US Robot Wars Competitors
I have been researching the robots that competed in both Battlebots and the original 1994-1997 US Robot Wars on the Battlebots wiki lately, is it worth making pages for those that do not already have pages on this wiki or not?--Nononsensecapeesh (talk) 19:35, February 26, 2015 (UTC)

Robot Wars Series 1 - Weight Classes
Throughout the various articles of Series 1 competitors, we have labelled certain robots as middleweights, lightweights, featherweights and so on, but a crucial mistake here is that we've based these solely on the current weight limit. This is incorrect, however, as the original weight limit was very different...specifically, this.


 * Featherweight: 11.4kg
 * Lightweight: 22.7kg
 * Middleweight: 45.4kg
 * Heavyweight: 79.4kg
 * Super Heavyweight: 154kg

For those who have time, may I ask that we go back over all the articles for Series 1 competitors and adjust them accordingly? I would like to bring up my table from the Arena Discussion page for guidelines.

Robots with a (*) next to their names are technically this weight class, but by such a small margin they could easily be classed as the next one down. CrashBash (talk) 21:50, November 2, 2014 (UTC)
 * I wouldn't say I have the time to make the changes, but I do support the idea of going by Series 1 weight classes. Although it may be worth putting a robot's modern classification in the article as well for comparison's sakes. Toast  Ultimatum  02:14, November 3, 2014 (UTC)

Shoutout from Jim Sterling
We got a shoutout from Jim Sterling, former Escapist columnist, big name in the gaming community. As far as I know, he has no affiliation with Robot Wars apart from being a fan, and it's great because it means that he's still hyped about the Wars after all these years. Hopefully this buzz will get some more people back into the sport. Thanks to Nate Franklin for finding this for us. '''R A 2 ; aka Resetti's Replicas. ( My Talk )''' 02:49, March 25, 2015 (UTC)
 * That put a smile on my face, shame it took us three months to find it! Toast  Ultimatum  01:39, March 26, 2015 (UTC)

Hit Man
As some of you may already know, details have surfaced on a potential failed qualifier robot/drop-out/reserve which is currently [http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Robot-built-for-robot-wars-/331651470083? for sale on eBay]. This of course deserves an article on the wiki, but I suggest we all wait a little bit first. I've sent the seller a message to gather a few basic details, including confirmation of its name. I can't promise how busy I'll be when I get a response, as I've only just moved into university residence, but hopefully I can start the article myself when I get the information. If the chance escapes me, I'll reply here. Toast Ultimatum  17:17, September 16, 2015 (UTC)
 * Oooo how interesting! Diotoir  the  son  of  nemesis  (talk) 18:24, September 16, 2015 (UTC)
 * I sent him a message wondering if he had any info he'd like to share. He said that he didn't know; it was his father's robot and he's just taking care fo the sale.  He said he'd ask though. R A 2 ; aka Resetti's Replicas.  ( My Talk ) 00:39, September 17, 2015 (UTC)
 * Great come back when you have the information be sure you at least now which series it potentially failed and of course the technical info such as (weaponry, weight) Diotoir  the  son  of  nemesis  (talk) 15:05, September 17, 2015 (UTC)
 * Diotoir, he knows what he's doing, Resetti's been here for ages... :p Combatwombat555 (talk) 15:47, September 17, 2015 (UTC)

I admit I've been a bit busy of late to make a Hit Man article, would anybody be up for making one? Toast Ultimatum  02:11, October 31, 2015 (UTC)
 * I'd be up for making that article, seeing I have made about six previous articles about robots that failed to qualify. Just drop me a message about which series it failed to qualify for (I heard a rumour it failed to qualify for Series 4, was chosen as a reserve, but was not used) and everything else that is known about it, no matter how much or how little that may be. As long as we have the picture, name and the series it failed to qualify for, a robot can have an article on the wiki. Drop Zone mk2 (talk) 13:43, November 14, 2015 (UTC)

BREAKING - Series 5-7 will air on Challenge
I don't know about you, but I find this to be major news. As of November 9th, Challenge will be airing Robot Wars. They were unable to buy Series 3 and 4, so they're starting off with the Fifth Wars. What matters the most is that Challenge will be airing Series 7 for the first time since 2003! As I'm sure you're aware, Series 7's video quality on YouTube is shockingly poor, and therefore most of our screenshots look poor too. Whether it's a member of this wiki or not, someone simply must rip Series 7 and put it on YouTube or another website, so we can watch the episodes in high quality, and put HQ images on the wiki. Does anybody have the means to do this?

Here's a link to Challenge's Facebook page, confirming the news. Toast Ultimatum  22:11, October 28, 2015 (UTC)


 * HALLELUJAH!!!!! Heat H (Wheely Big Cheese) of S5 is also low quality, so that one should be dealt with too. J  im laa  d4   3 (talk) 22:12, October 28, 2015 (UTC)
 * DVD recorders are practically phased out, so I'm really clueless for ways to record the programmes. If I had an Xbox One, I could record its TV function with my Elgato Game Capture HD, but I only have a Wii U. Toast  Ultimatum  18:14, October 29, 2015 (UTC)
 * I have a PVR, but I'm not sure how to get the files to a computer, but my flatmate will know. J  im laa  d4   3 (talk) 21:03, October 29, 2015 (UTC)
 * Awesome, have a practice with Series 5 when that starts, then if we've got no volunteers, at least SOMEBODY here has the means to record the heats. Toast  Ultimatum  23:11, October 29, 2015 (UTC)
 * With BBC Store now live, it might be possible to purchase S1-6 + Extremes if they put them up. They aren't there at the moment, but if enough of us want it, we could always ask. J  im laa  d4   3 (talk) 12:33, November 8, 2015 (UTC)
 * I've gotten hold of a Freeview+ box to record the episodes with, but I've still no clue how to get them onto a computer, it's just digital storage. Toast  Ultimatum  17:55, November 8, 2015 (UTC)
 * Does the BBC even have the rights for Robot Wars anymore?  Stalwart UK  01:08, November 10, 2015 (UTC)
 * Just seen an advert stating that series 5 be on Wednesday at 6:00Pm Diotoir  the  son  of  nemesis  (talk) 18:43, November 9, 2015 (UTC)
 * It started today and will be on for 3 weeks before Extreme 1 starts. Sam (BAZINGA) 19:02, November 9, 2015 (UTC)
 * Just saw Heat A on plus one, my bad. Itlooks like its on all week. I'm sure the advert said Wednesday though...hmm Diotoir  the  son  of  nemesis  (talk) 20:05, November 9, 2015 (UTC)
 * Watching it so far I've finally been able to notice bits which you couldn't with the YouTube videos, for example, General Carnage's goldness really shines in the HD and I noticed Firestorm's flipper having "Girly boys" written on it during the battle against Sir Chromealot. Diotoir  the  son  of  nemesis  (talk) 19:08, November 13, 2015 (UTC)
 * Yeah, I could also read "aye up me duck" on T-Bone's wheel. I just wish I could get it on YouTube. Toast  Ultimatum  11:04, November 14, 2015 (UTC)

I have got them all recorded so far. I'm planning to upload them as a zip file after the series is done. I don't want to upload them to YouTube to avoid any problems from Challenge. Due to approaching exams I am not editing pictures into the wiki at the moment though. J im laa  d4   3 (talk) 11:17, November 14, 2015 (UTC)

Unbelievably good news. I've not been that interested in Robot Wars recently, which is one of the reasons I'm hardly around, but there's no way I could possibly miss the new series. Christophee (talk) 15:39, January 13, 2016 (UTC)
 * It'll be great to have some veterans such as yourself back on the wiki. Admittedly it shoots my reasonings in the foot when it comes to my requests for bureaucratship, but let's all enjoy this new series together! Toast  Ultimatum  15:48, January 13, 2016 (UTC)
 * I'm sure I'll be around more often, but nowhere near as often as I used to be, as I'm much busier these days. I still think we need a properly active bureaucrat, and I can't imagine there is a better person to fulfil that role. Christophee (talk) 15:54, January 13, 2016 (UTC)
 * Thanks a lot, would you be able to put that on the page as an official vote? Toast  Ultimatum  15:57, January 13, 2016 (UTC)

 * Mmmhh Does that explain why the Storm team manage to find Sgt Bash because they were getting ready for Robot Wars Evo 1 (That's what I'm calling the reboot) it would explain a lot plus when is Robot Wars Evo 1 on? Diotoir  the  son  of  nemesis  (talk) 16:42, January 13, 2016 (UTC)

This is awesome....however, with all due respect, I do not wish to get too excited about this, at least at the moment. Maybe it's just me being an absolute pessimist, but I don't want to be majorly hyped for it, only for it to be cancelled at the last moment...which I've seen happen before much too often.

 * This week so far has been quite eventful, first the death of the music legend David Bowie (Still can't believe it man), US soldiers captured by Iran and Robot Wars returning! I wonder what'll next? By the way when the new show airs and we make new articles and all, I've made a spoilers template for things to come. Diotoir  the  son  of  nemesis  (talk) 19:36, January 13, 2016 (UTC)


 * (R.I.P. Bowie) Actually, will we be making articles for robots as soon as the episodes featuring them have come out, or will we wait until the end of the series (or, alternatively, the end of that particular robot's run)? Because I kind of see a flurry of edits meaning things get lost in Recent Activity happening, and that might not be a major problem, but...  /M|ddle Eye\  (Talk)    19:52, January 13, 2016 (UTC)
 * I don't think we can stop pages from being created/edited immediately after, or even during, the episodes. It happens all the time with Wikipedia and other wikis, so here should be no different. It's going to be very strange for this wiki to be about something current for once. Christophee (talk) 20:01, January 13, 2016 (UTC)
 * Ah, yeah, I didn't really think of that. On a similar note, with a new series and all, we may get a bit more attention than before, so that could be something to be cautious of.
 * And as a side note, it makes me extremely happy to see all the "last ever x" bits on the wiki being changed to "last ever x so far".  /M|ddle Eye\  (Talk)    20:47, January 13, 2016 (UTC)
 * Like I said I made the spoilers template for such an occasion (edit it if needed) Diotoir  the  son  of  nemesis  (talk) 20:03, January 13, 2016 (UTC)


 * Out of curiosity should their be a category added as well as the template for spoilers? Diotoir  the  son  of  nemesis  (talk) 10:37, January 14, 2016 (UTC)

 * Heard it this morning. Nothing particularly exciting. Just basically saying how they are previous champions, that they have been touring since the show ended, and that robotics has developed since then with better batteries motors etc. They also interviewed Jonathan Pearce, a section of which is here for those who haven't listened:http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p03fg0zh He says that he has been contacted by the new production team, but can't confirm anything. Prodworthy (talk) 19:07, January 14, 2016 (UTC)
 * I've just listened to it, Ed Hoppit seems to have forgotten that they're not actually reigning champions... He did mention that the weight limit is increasing. Combatwombat555 (talk) 22:09, January 14, 2016 (UTC)

This Facebook post contains the information you need to apply for tickets to see the live shows. I've already sent off my email! J im laa  d4   3 (talk) 09:23, January 16, 2016 (UTC)

Reboot Uncertainties
I don't think putting uncertainties about robots, features or personalities returning for the reboot on the actual pages is right (like the recent one on Sir Killalot's page that we don't know if it'll come back or not). Lets keep speculation out of the mainspace for moment. J im laa  d4   3 (talk) 13:02, January 14, 2016 (UTC)
 * Sir Killalot's page was updated because I wanted to referencethe fact it's already been used in promo material. Even if he doesn't appear in battle once in the new series, the Sir Killalot article should still mention his use in marketing. Toast  Ultimatum  13:06, January 14, 2016 (UTC)

Anti-Spoiler bulletin needed
Does anyone know how to make a bulletin that pops up on every page? I'd like users to be constantly seeing a message warning them not to post spoilers, no matter what page they're on. I'd like the message to read as follows, '''ATTENTION: Pre-air spoilers are strictly forbidden. Do not post any information on the brackets, results, competitor rosters, or any information on the upcoming reboot unless it originates from the BBC or an official news source. THIS INCLUDES ALL PAGES, EVEN TALK AND PERSONAL PAGES. Unauthorized leakage may put yourself or the Wiki at risk of legal action. Additionally, taking photographs at filming is strictly forbidden. Photographs from the event will be immediately deleted, and punished with a temporary suspension on the FIRST OFFENCE. The Robot Wars Wiki thanks you for your cooperation.''' Thanks in advance to whoever can take care of this. '''R A 2 ; aka Resetti's Replicas. ( My Talk )''' 02:15, March 5, 2016 (UTC)
 * Made it. Diotoir  the  son  of  nemesis  (talk) 07:37, March 5, 2016 (UTC)
 * I can't help much with spreading this right now, only got wiki access via phone all weekend. Give it a picture of Roadblock to distinguish it from the other spoiler template, I'll put it on the main page and other places if it's not done when I get back home.  Toast  Ultimatum  07:44, March 5, 2016 (UTC)


 * How about this? It would be perfect to use. CrashBash (talk) 07:49, March 5, 2016 (UTC)
 * Oh Crash, that made me laugh a lot. Brilliant! I'm off in a few mins to Glasgow, talk to you guys later!!! (Obviously with full spoiler protection mode) J  im laa  d4   3 (talk) 08:33, March 5, 2016 (UTC)

I'm sure there used to be a way to do bulletins like RA2 is requesting, but I don't know whether it can be done using the current Wikia skin. I'm doing my best to find an answer. Christophee (talk) 13:38, March 6, 2016 (UTC)

Please do not put the anti-spoiler thing on Robot pages, as you're basically saying "these are the bots that are in the new series". Keep it simple and on the front page. J im laa  d4   3 (talk) 18:09, March 6, 2016 (UTC)


 * Ah, beat me to it. That was really puzzling me. CrashBash (talk) 18:12, March 6, 2016 (UTC)
 * The problem with it just being on the main page was that someone (http://robotwars.wikia.com/wiki/Special:Contributions/85.255.232.48) had obviously ignored it and still went ahead editing. Diotoir  the  son  of  nemesis  (talk) 18:35, March 6, 2016 (UTC)

As far as I can tell, the ability to put a bulletin at the top of the wiki has long gone, and updating the community message is the closest thing we have instead, and all that really does is give a one-time notification in the bottom right, so I don't think that will be sufficient for this situation, so there's a not a great deal we can do. Christophee (talk) 21:17, March 6, 2016 (UTC)

Image file types
When saving images to upload, can you please make sure they are always JPG files. For the types of image needed on the wiki, a JPG is the more suitable than PNG, BMP or GIF types. J im laa  d4   3 (talk) 12:10, April 27, 2016 (UTC)

Ultimate Robot Archive Wiki
If any users on this wiki have the time, could they help on the URA wikia? It is essentially a robot combat wikia which'll cover ALL competitions and be an on going project. It is mainly due to the lack of coverage of the Original 94-97 US Robot Wars and the limited coverage the Robotica Wiki is going to achieve, here is the link: http://ultimate-robot-archive.wikia.com/wiki/Ultimate_Robot_Archive_Wikia. --Nononsensecapeesh (talk) 21:05, June 1, 2016 (UTC)
 * I'm sure that it'd be worth your time, the original 94-97 US Robot Wars needs covering and this wiki isn't covering it cause it "wasn't aired on TV". The UK Robot Wars wouldn't have happened had it not been for the US Robot Wars. Sam (BAZINGA) 22:16, June 1, 2016 (UTC)
 * Perhaps if the content of the 94-97 Robot Wars makes some serious progress, we could move it over. For the time being it'd be a little sad to see just a few small articles here on robots like Biohazard and... y'know I can't even name one other than The Master and Thor... but if there's a nearly complete database, I think it could belong on here. Toast  Ultimatum  06:14, June 2, 2016 (UTC)
 * Well, that is kind of what Madlooney and I are trying to achieve, nonetheless you have provided a more positive response than the BattleBots Wiki has.--Nononsensecapeesh (talk) 11:39, June 2, 2016 (UTC)

As people may have noticed in the past, upon me mentioning this Wiki on the Unofficial Robot Wars Facebook group (I'm Darren Gelder on Facebook btw), it became apparent that a number of roboteers hold the wiki in a somewhat low regard, citing inaccurate or opinionated information, wiki members claiming to know more than they do, or the use of private photos without permission. This is of course a shame!

So I was wondering is it worth making a "Problem Report" thread on the FB group? So people can easily report any problems they have in a civilised manner so that we can work with them to reword or remove any offending information? Would be great if we could improve the relations between the roboteers and the wiki! Prodworthy (talk) 16:49, June 27, 2016 (UTC)

Im back!
Hi guys its me Boto and I am here to say im still on the RW wiki and have not left completely. If your wondering where I have gone and why I will tell you! Recently I have not been able to find anything I can do on here so resort to the other main wiki im on the BB wiki to do things. I have my own wiki know called the Banter Wars wiki based off of a youtube series! http://banter-wars.wikia.com/wiki/Banter_Wars_Wikia please feel free o edit but note! DO NOT BE HARSH ON SOME OF THE USERS!!! there new to wikia and don't have the experience you have. Anyways if anyone though I had gone due to something to do with sadness as said on my now closed voting tournament is not true as I have just found nothing to do here. I have been looking at the recent activity and all that jazz to see whats up but its nothing really important that pops up. Hope you didn't miss me! --Botomatic1000 (talk) 18:42, July 16, 2016 (UTC)

Extreme Robots
The Robot Wars Live tour is changing it's name to Extreme Robots for 2017. One of the pages on their new website, http://www.extremerobots.co.uk/competitor-robots, has stats images for 42 robots competing on the live tour. Is it okay to add the info and/or images to the relevant pages? There are also a few differences in the information we have for some robots and what Extreme Robots has, for example, we have Dystopia's team as being Team Ablaze, but Extreme Robots has it down as Team G.A.R. http://www.extremerobots.co.uk/assets/images/competitors/Dystopia.jpg What would be done in scenarios such as this? --Voyanuitoa (talk) 14:14, July 28, 2016 (UTC)
