"The fitting of interchangeable body panels or alternative weaponry is allowed between bouts providing changes can be done within a 20-minute time-frame. Interchanging of such panels or weapons cannot be done during bouts. Body panels must be the same as the ones removed. Adding extra defensive equipment is forbidden. All interchangeable weapons must not incorporate additional defensive items. All weapons must be declared and logged on the technical check sheet. Failure to do this will result in extra weapons being excluded."
— Section 1.1.1 of the Series 7 Rules & Regulations (2003), concerning requirements for interchangeable weapons[1]

Interchangeable Weaponry is a system where a robot can be modified between battles, allowing the team to change its weaponry. The Robot Wars technical rules allowed for this, as long as:

  • The weapons did not push the robot over the weight, height and width restrictions.
  • The weapons were offensive additions rather than defensive additions.
  • The team declared all the weapons they could use before the tournament.

The first robots to use interchangeable weaponry on the show were Roadblock, which had interchangeable blades for their rear saw weapon, Killertron, with its double-headed pickaxe and unused mace weapon, and Shogun, which had side spikes which were interchangeable with spikes of different sizes. All three robots first appeared in the first ever episode, Heat A of Series 1.

The most successful robot to use interchangeable weaponry is Series 6 champion Tornado, which relied on a variety of different weapons - including a spinning drum, a scoop and an 'anti-crusher weapon' - to succeed in later series. Other successful competitors to use them in recent series include the robots of Team Shock and Series 9 runner-up Eruption, although the latter mainly relied on its rear-hinged flipper during battles.

Advantages and Disadvantages[]

Advantages

InterchangeableScoops

Each of Behemoth's scoops had its own advantages, and allowed different tactics to be used

X-Terminator lifts Behemoth.

X-Terminator's flipper proved much more effective than its axe in Series 4

Tornado vs Razer

Through only being revealed immediately before its uses against Razer in US Season 2 and Series 6, Tornado's horizontal spinner offered a surprise factor when it debuted in each respective series

  • Interchangeable weaponry gives a robot a wider range of attacking options and tactics than what can be offered with a single weapon. For example, in Series 9, Behemoth's interchangeable scoop, angled ploughs and grabbing arms gave the team the choice of flipping their opponents with the original scoop, deflecting blows from spinning weapons with the angled ploughs, or pinning down opponents with the grabbing arms.
  • Interchangeable weaponry allows the robot to be modified depending on which opponent(s) it faces. For example, in Series 9, Behemoth used one of its angled ploughs, designed specifically to deflect blows from spinners, which helped it to defeat PP3D.
  • If one weapon proves ineffective, it can easily be replaced with another. In Series 4, the X-Terminator team found that the robot's axe weapon was not damaging enough, so they changed it to the scoop flipper, which helped X-Terminator win its Heat Final against Behemoth.
    • Alternatively, interchangeable weapons can easily be swapped round when one breaks. This happened to Big Nipper in Series 8, which resorted to using its crushing claws against TR2 after its spinning disc was badly damaged during its Group Battle.
    • Duplicates of a single weapon can also be classed as interchangeable if they are made, brought and used as spare parts. Eruption featured no fewer than four flipper arms in Series 10, including one heavily-armoured variant offering additional defence against powerful spinners.
  • Interchangeable weaponry can bring a 'surprise factor' to a robot, that its opponent(s) may not anticipate. Although declared in advance and approved by the Robot Wars technical crew, Tornado's horizontal spinner weapon was not revealed on the show until its battles with Razer in US Season 2, UK Series 6 and UK Extreme 2 respectively. The weapon's existence and effectiveness thus remained unknown prior to its first uses in combat.

Disadvantages

Panic Attack vs X-Terminator

X-Terminator's spike addition prevented it from self-righting

Killertron S1 pits with mace

Killertron's mace weapon, originally intended for Series 1, ultimately went unused after Team Trojan found its axe to be more effective

Ironside3 vs Gabriel

Gabriel's battle axe ended up getting stuck in the Flame Pit, allowing Sir Killalot to attack it

Cherub vs behemoth 1

Behemoth's grabbing arms failed to pin down Cherub when used for the first time, leaving the team to wish they had used the scoop

  • Each interchangeable weapon will have its own disadvantages, and not all will necessarily be suited for certain opponents.
  • Adding an extra weapon to a robot can adversely change a robot's abilities. For example, the spike used by X-Terminator in Extreme 1 prevented it from self-righting, a problem which could have been avoided if it was not fitted at all.
    • Similarly, Storm 2 would not have been able to run inverted with the flywheel.
  • Some custom prepared weapons were not allowed to be used as they violated the rules. In Series 6, Team Tornado were not allowed to use their anti-spinner weapon against Hypno-Disc, and their anti-crusher weapon was banned after Extreme 2, with both interchangeable weapons being deemed to be defensive additions.
  • Buying and/or building multiple weapons for a robot is more expensive and time-consuming than developing a single weapon.
  • Having interchangeable weapons sometimes proves unnecessary, as one weapon can prove much more effective than the others. For example, in Series 1, Killertron had a mace as well as an axe. However, the axe proved effective, so Team Trojan decided to not use the mace and only brought the axe to subsequent series.
  • Mixing weapons up gives roboteers less experience with each weapon and how it will operate against a type of opponent. In Series 8, Gabriel experimented with a battle axe which actually proved less effective in its Head-to-Head against Ironside3 after getting caught in the flame pit. As a result, Team Saint reverted to using Gabriel's tried-and-tested sword for its later battles.
    • Some interchangeable weaponry can prove ineffective when used. For example, in Series 9, Behemoth's grabbing arms failed to pin down their opponent properly when used for the first time against Cherub, leading to it losing the battle and being eliminated from the series.
"Putting a grabber of that type onto the robot for a critical match was a very poor decision ... I was so annoyed with the rest of the team for making that decision not to go with a guaranteed win, with using the scoop. It's proven that, sometimes, innovation doesn't pay out - sometimes, it's best to use what you know works."
— Anthony Pritchard on the failure of the grabbing arms

Plunderbird 1 Series 1 The only version of the Plunderbird series to feature interchangeable weapons, each mounted in two separate weapon pods. The pods contained a retracting spike powered by a laser sight device, much like the weapon later used by 101, and an electric circular saw on a moving arm, which flipped out of the robot when operational. As Plunderbird 1 was eliminated at the Gauntlet stage, neither weapon was seen in combat.
P1Pods

Pressure Extreme 2 Had side panels that flipped out to act as separate srimechs, to which spikes could be added to in order to convert them into axes. The spikes were seen on the official photo, but not used in battle.
Pussycat Series 3-5, 7, Extreme 1 Various cutting discs, beginning with a diamond-edged saw and a carbide-tipped blade which shattered and resulted in its disqualification from Series 3.[8] From Series 4 to its last appearance in Series 7, custom cutting blades in two, four or eight-tooth variants were used; differently-patterned versions of the four-toothed blade were used to great effect in the former. The early Extreme 1 model, Pussycat 2, was profiled in Ultimate Real Robots magazine as wielding both two and four-toothed versions, but ultimately competed on television with just the two-toothed blade.[9] Pussycat's Series 5 team introduction shows it on its pit bench with two four-pointed blades, with Alan Gribble briefly addressing their interchangeability on screen. In Series 7, both eight-toothed double and four-toothed single blades were used.

The Swarm Series 10 All segments of the clusterbot were interchangeable with each other, enabling Team Big Brother to select different segments depending on which opponents they faced. A total of five segments attended filming, but only four were allowed to enter the arena at any one time. The Swarm's segments included Rubber Duck (flipper), Blenda (bar spinner), Pinza (horizontal pincers) and two versions of Skye - one invertible, the other with entanglement devices.

Thor Series 8-10 Armed with a spiked hammer in the original series, but this was replaced with a pneumatic axe in Series 8-10 with interchangeable bladed or spiked heads. The Series 9 version had interchangeable front wedges, as well as the interchangeable axe heads. The Series 10 Thor was stated to have five interchangeable axe heads, some of which were referred to as 'hammers' on the official Robot Wars website. However, only two of the bladed heads - including one modelled on Mjölnir - were used in the latter series.

TMHWK Series 9-10 Interchangeable bladed and spiked axe heads. The original version, Tomahawk, only had a bladed axe.
Tornado Series 6-7, Extreme 1-2, US Season 2 Was initially equipped with a pneumatic spike in Series 4, which was replaced with a range of interchangeable weaponry from Extreme 1 onwards. These weapons included: a spinning drum (commonly referred to as a 'disc'); a spiked 'charity' scoop; a static spear; a scoop lifter; a chain flail conversion of the 'charity' scoop; an 'anti-crusher weapon' incorporating a horizontal flywheel or bar spinner; and a vertical bar spinner which was never used. Interchangeable weapons became a signature feature in later appearances.

Series 5/Extreme 1 incarnation included two identical drums shown during team introductions; the second presumably being reserved as a spare.

Trivia[]

  • In Series 7, Ripper's flipper was said to be interchangeable with a disc and an axe, but John Findlay later revealed that this was not actually true, and that he had made it up for the benefit of viewers.
  • In Series 7, 13 Black used a different front spinning disc in its Round 2 battle against Gravity while Spawn Again and Bulldog Breed used different flipper plates in their losses to Raging Knightmare and X-Terminator respectively.
