Robot Wars: The Third Wars

Format
For the third series, the Gauntlet and Trial sections of the previous series were scrapped and the championship took the form of a straight knockout tournament. The series consisted of sixteen heats featuring eight robots each with each heat champion progressing to the semi-finals and two robots from each going through to the Grand Final of the series.

As a result of the rule changes for the third series, there were no seeded robots that year.
