Dutch Championship

The Dutch Championship was the Dutch Robot Wars equivalent of the UK Championship, in order to determine the national champion of the Netherlands. The championship also featured many robots from Belgium (as the two countries share the same robot combat association), with the highest placed representative from each series being crowned the Belgian champion.

Dutch Series 1
The first Dutch Championship featured 30 competitors, split into five heats containing six robots each. The first round consisted of three one-on-one battles, after which a "Losers Melee" would determine which of the three defeated robots would reach the second round. The Grand Final was made up of the five heat winners and one "wildcard", chosen from the defeated robots by the show's producers. In the Grand Final the six robots were split into two battles to determine the final four competitors, which then paired off to determine the two finalists and decide the champion.

Dutch Series 2
The second Dutch Championship featured 40 competitors, split into five heats containing eight robots each. This time around the rather complicated format of the first championship was dropped in favour of a more traditional knock-out to determine the heat winners. The Grand Final was made up of the five heat winners and three "wildcards", chosen from the defeated robots by the show's producers. In the Grand Final the eight robots battled each other in a simple knock-out format to decide the champion.
