List of judges' decisions in Robot Wars

"Robot Wars matches were edited for broadcast and it is unwise to call a match based on what you saw on television. I saw several matches that had 'controversial' outcomes when broadcast that were clearly correctly judged when viewed in person. The matches were edited to make them entertaining - not to make the outcome clear. "

— Mark Joerger, addressing queries surrounding the evaluation of Judges' decisions

Below is a list of all Judges' decisions that have taken place on Robot Wars.

Note: Robots in italics were deemed immobile at the time of the Judges' decision, and so are only acknowledged as a participant of the battle, rather than a loser of the Judges' decision.

Judges' Decisions

Robot Wars: The First Wars

Victor(s)	Loser(s)	Battle	Notes
Recyclopse	Mortis	Heat B, Heat Final	First ever Judges' decision, as well as the first in which a team (Random Violence Technologies) vocally disagreed with and attempted to appeal. According to Noel Sharkey, the decision was so tight that they attempted to call a draw, but such an option was not allowed at the time.
T.R.A.C.I.E.	Skarab	Heat F, Heat Final
Roadblock	Bodyhammer, Cunning Plan, Recyclopse, Robot the Bruce, T.R.A.C.I.E.	Grand Final	The final battle of Series 1 went to the Judges, to be chosen between Roadblock, which had immobilised two robots, and Bodyhammer, its last-standing opponent.

Robot Wars: The Second Wars

Victor(s)	Loser(s)	Battle	Notes
Demolition Demon	Victor	Heat A, Heat Semi-Final	Victor became immobilised partway through the battle, but Demolition Demon was later overturned by Shunt and initially deemed to have lost according to Oliver Steeples. Craig Charles confirmed Victor's loss of mobility in revealing the Judges' subsequent decision, with Steeples suggesting that they had reversed the original ruling.
Napalm	Demolition Demon	Heat A, Heat Final	The audience noticeably disagreed with the decision, which was awarded to Napalm on aggression.
Mace	Leighviathan	Heat B, Heat Semi-Final
Mortis	Oblivion	Heat C, Heat Final	Despite both robots surviving to the end of the battle, the Judges' decision was never shown or mentioned on screen. Instead, Mortis was immediately declared the winner.
Disruptor	Corporal Punishment	Heat F, Heat Semi-Final
King Buxton	Robo Doc	Heat I, Heat Semi-Final	This Judges' decision in favour of King Buxton started a light-hearted rivalry between it and the machines of Team 101.
The Mule	Demon	Heat K, Heat Semi-Final	Despite both robots being revealed to have lost mobility at the same time, Nick Adams from the Demon team agreed with the decision owing to its drive issues and lack of aggression compared to The Mule. In Robot Wars Revealed Episode 11, Roger Plant revealed that The Mule had repeatedly pushed Demon across the arena in addition to the limited lifts and pushes shown on television.
Plunderbird 2	Enzyme	Heat K, Heat Semi-Final
Plunderbird 2	The Mule	Heat K, Heat Final	Heat K was the only episode of Robot Wars where every battle went to a Judges' decision.
Jim Struts	Bumblebot, Forklift, Lateral Thought, Malice	Reserve Rumble	The first ever victory for a walking robot, and the first Judges' decision not to be made in the main competition.
Griffon	Bodyhammer, Corporal Punishment, Killerhurtz	Internet Insurrection	First Judges' decision based on entertainment value, as none of the four robots had attacked or immobilised each other. Griffon was given the victory based on its successful attack on Sergeant Bash.
Slippery Strana	Damacles, Rosebud, Shadow Fiend, Spartacus	Lightweight Championship	The match ended with all robots still mobile, and the Judges requested that all five machines demonstrate their manoeuvrability. Slippery Strana, having put on the most elaborate display by darting and spinning across the arena, was awarded victory, initiating a shoving match in The Pits afterwards.
Kick Robut	Berserk, Demon Duck, Siren	Super Heavyweight Championship
Demolisher	Anarchy, Armadillo, Ripper	Featherweight Championship

Robot Wars: The Third Wars

Victor(s)	Loser(s)	Battle	Notes
Suicidal Tendencies	Raizer Blade	Heat A, Round 2	One of Suicidal Tendencies' tracks seized during the battle, enabling Raizer Blade to push and attempt to pit it. However, Raizer Blade overshot and wedged itself on the edge of the pit, requiring assistance from Sir Killalot's lance. The Judges' decision ruled Suicidal Tendencies to have won despite it technically being immobilised on one side.
Mace 2	Suicidal Tendencies	Heat A, Heat Final
Technophobic	Abaddon	Heat B, Round 1
Blade	Spike	Heat C, Round 1	Blade dominated the fight, and in one final attack pitted Spike several seconds after 'Cease' had been called. This attack was not counted as an official immobilisation, nor was considered by the Judges during their consultation process. Blade still won the decision unanimously.
Blade	Agent Orange	Heat C, Round 2	Agent Orange started with a more damaging, aggressive and controlled run, which resulted in Blade temporarily getting stranded on its side by an arena spike. As the battle continued, however, the former began suffering severe mobility issues, allowing Blade to capitalise by pushing and maintaining an aggressive performance of its own until time ran out. The Judges ruled 2-1 in Blade's favour.
Sir Chromalot	Shell Shock	Heat D, Round 1	Despite putting in a dominant performance throughout, Sir Chromalot suffered an internal fire and had its mobility severely reduced during the closing stages. It was subsequently jostled by Matilda and pitted by Sir Killalot, but the Judges identified its continued mobility, deeming the House Robot attacks to be interference. Craig Charles and Team Shell Shock both openly disagreed with their resulting decision to put Sir Chromalot through.
Big Brother	Grim Reaper	Heat D, Round 1	Both competitors appeared to be immobilised by the end, with Sir Killalot driving over the pair simultaneously before turning the two-wheeled Grim Reaper on its back. Despite being left motionless by the top-right flamethrower, Big Brother still flung its morning star mace back and forth, winning the decision on damage and aggression.
Ultor (Later handed the victory to Big Brother)	Big Brother	Heat D, Heat Final	The Judges ruled Ultor the winner; however, its team could not attend filming for the Semi-Finals due to work commitments, thus conceding the match to Big Brother. First time a winning team overruled a Judges' decision.
T 2	Vector	Heat F, Round 1	With Vector suffering drive issues from the start, T 2 built up a considerable advantage before steering itself into the pit under no pressure. The Judges were consulted after Vector sustained attacks from the House Robots, opting to put T 2 through on the grounds of its opponent's immobilisation.
The Darke Destroyer	Sgt. Meikle	Heat F, Round 1
The Darke Destroyer	T 2	Heat F, Round 2	Although T 2 appeared to control large portions of the battle, The Darke Destroyer won a 2-1 split decision based on aggression, which immediately prompted booing from the audience. According to Philippa Forrester, the disparity in weapon aggressiveness played a large part in this outcome.
Napalm	Kater Killer	Heat G, Round 1
Henry	Haardvark	Heat G, Round 1	Haardvark largely dominated this battle, but became completely immobilised during the final moments as a result of a blown drive motor fuse. The Judges awarded the victory to Henry by default, even though Haardvark had not been immobile for the full thirty seconds. This decision was not addressed on television.
Ally Gator	Corporal Punishment	Heat H, Round 1	Split decision; considered controversial by Craig Charles in the televised edit. Unseen on television, both machines were later separated, with the battle lasting a further 2-3 minutes according to Peter Duncanson of the Agent Orange team. Corporal Punishment capitalised by landing 'several' effective attacks on Ally Gator from that point onward, though an attempt by Adam Clark to obtain footage of the full 5-minute fight was unsuccessful.
Hypno-Disc	Berserk 2	Heat H, Heat Final	Deemed by Jonathan Pearce to be the closest 'Final' at this point in the show's original run. Berserk 2, despite taking cuts from Hypno-Disc's flywheel, rammed, lifted and axed the Oxford newcomer as the latter's weapon lost effectiveness. Berserk 2, however, was flipped by an arena spike, and re-righted by a shove from Hypno-Disc, which pushed and rammed it a few times. In recapping this battle in Series 4, Heat F, Pearce considered Berserk 2 'unlucky' to have lost.
Invertabrat	Terrorpin	Heat I, Round 2
101	King Buxton	Heat J, Heat Final
Toe Cutter	Purple Predator	Heat K, Round 1
Flip Flop Fly	Wild Willy	Heat L, Round 1	Wild Willy dominated much of this battle, only to drive itself onto the edge of the pit after being jostled by an arena spike. Matilda pushed the Lincoln-based machine in, prompting the Judges to make a decision as Flip Flop Fly's mobility was also limited at this point in the fight. Nevertheless, Wild Willy was eliminated as a result of its driving error.
Panzer	Undertaker	Heat L, Round 1
Scutter's Revenge	Pussycat	Heat M, Heat Final	Midway through the battle, the carbide-tipped cutting blade on Pussycat shattered upon hitting the arena wall. Thus, the weapon was considered to be an illegal hardened steel blade, compelling the Judges to disqualify the Cold Fusion Team machine and overturn Scutter's Revenge's immobilisation-based loss.
Griffon	Daisy Chopper	Heat N, Round 1	Griffon was unanimously ruled the winner, but Team TFOSICA called for a recount, believing that Daisy Chopper was more mobile and put in more meaningful attacks. Despite Oliver Steeples supporting his opposing team's views, the Judges recalculated all criteria and delivered a 2-1 split decision, again in favour of Griffon.
Fire Storm	Panic Attack	Semi-Final 1, Round 2
Steg-O-Saw-Us	Gravedigger	Semi-Final 2, Round 1	Despite Gravedigger putting in a more controlled and, according to Jonathan Pearce, more aggressive performance, the Judges decided in favour of Steg-O-Saw-Us.
Hypno-Disc	101	Semi-Final 2, Round 2	For the first time, the Judges entered the arena to inspect both robots up close for signs of visible damage. They subsequently ruled in favour of Hypno-Disc, in what was widely regarded as one of their closest decisions in Robot Wars history.
A-Kill, Tentoumushi	Grinder, Hard Cheese, Ripper's Revenge	Middleweight Melee	Only two machines were still mobile at the conclusion of the battle - the American Tentoumushi, and the British A-Kill. Upon being consulted, the Judges ruled them as co-winners - possibly the first ever draw in Robot Wars.
Anarachnid, Mammoth	None	Walker Battles	The second televised battle to be declared a draw; also potentially the first as the filming order for this and the Middleweight Melee remains unknown.
Diotoir	Depoppesaurus Rex	The First World Championship, Eliminators
Razer	All Torque	The First World Championship, Eliminators	Despite All Torque's drive motors partially burning out by the end, the battle still went to a Judges' decision as it had not been considered fully immobile. This was not announced in the broadcast version.
101	Weld-Dor	The First World Championship, Quarter-Finals
Behemoth	Diotoir	The First World Championship, Semi-Finals
Razer	101	The First World Championship, Semi-Finals
Razer	Behemoth	The First World Championship, Final	Behemoth started strongly by twice flipping Razer, blocking its attempts at self-righting and at one point leaving its opponent temporarily stranded on the Flame Pit. However, upon escaping with assistance from Dead Metal, Razer responded by crushing the sides and one of the arms for Behemoth's scoop before time ran out. After twenty minutes, the 2-1 split decision ruled in favour of Razer based on the damage it had inflicted.

Robot Wars: The Fourth Wars

Victor(s)	Loser(s)	Battle	Notes
King B3, Medusa 2000	Attila the Drum	Heat A, Eliminator	In a battle dominated by King B3, Attila the Drum lost out to Medusa 2000 on the decision, much to the audience's displeasure. Team Battlebot also asserted that their machine had performed well enough for it to progress. During its recap for the Southern Annihilator, it was suggested by Jonathan Pearce that while aggressive, Attila the Drum's chances of progression were hampered by it not scoring enough style and control points.
Firestorm 2	Bolt from the Blue	Heat C, Semi-Final	An extremely uneventful battle, with only a single weapon attack initiated by Bolt from the Blue through its lift on Firestorm 2. Despite this, Firestorm 2 was ruled to have been more aggressive, a verdict which James Proctor from the Blue Army team strongly contested.
Firestorm 2	The Morgue	Heat C, Final	Firestorm 2 shoved The Morgue over the edge of the pit before reversing in itself, much to the initial jubilation of The Four Horsemen. The Judges ruled that the baseplate of The Morgue had gone below the top rim of the pit, counting as a pitting victory for Firestorm 2 which was leading on points up to that moment.
Iron-Awe, Mortis	Mazakari	Heat D, Eliminator	Iron-Awe became immobile and was attacked by the House Robots. Regardless, the Judges unanimously declared that Mazakari - itself stuck on Mortis for a good portion of the battle - would be eliminated based on the damage it sustained.
Steg 2	Iron-Awe	Heat D, Semi-Final
Dominator 2	101	Heat E, Final
Wheelosaurus, Wheely Big Cheese	Prizephita Mk 2	Heat H, Eliminator	A chaotic battle which ended in all three competitors being pushed into the pit by the House Robots. The Judges ruled that as Prizephita Mk 2 had lost drive on one side beforehand following a shove from Wheely Big Cheese, it was immobile for more than thirty seconds. Roger Plant's machine would therefore progress to the Heat Semi-Finals alongside Wheelosaurus.
Wheely Big Cheese	Suicidal Tendencies	Heat H, Final	While being consistently more aggressive for much of the battle, Suicidal Tendencies lost use of one of its tracks partway through due to a suspected gearbox issue. When Wheely Big Cheese attempted to pit its opponent, it drove in itself, though the Judges deemed that Suicidal Tendencies was technically immobilised before the pitting (under the then recently-introduced '50% immobile' rule). As a result, Wheely Big Cheese would go through to the series Semi-Finals, to the disappointment of the Suicidal Tendencies team among others.
Eric, Killerhurtz	Destruct-A-Bubble	Heat I, Eliminator
Splinter	Eric	Heat I, Final
Bulldog Breed 2, Stinger	Spikasaurus	Heat J, Eliminator	All three robots survived the full duration while putting in highly competitive performances against each other. Despite its aggressive display and early success in spearing Stinger's tyre, the Judges unanimously chose to eliminate Spikasaurus. Lee Ainscough later inferred that the damage sustained to Spikasaurus' rollbars and front end might have been crucial in his machine's defeat.
MouseTrap	Little Fly	Heat K, Final	For the first time, Jonathan Pearce considered the decision too close to call. When interviewing an upset Richard Woodward afterwards, Craig Charles similarly admitted that he would have called the battle a 'draw'. Charles and TeamMouseTrap also initially believed that the decision would be in Little Fly's favour based on the damage sustained by MouseTrap's trap weapon.
Wild Thing	Reactor	Heat M, Semi-Final
Arnold, Arnold Terminegger, Behemoth	Rambot	Heat N, Eliminator	A very close and equally-fought battle between the three competitors; considered one of the closest up to this point by Jonathan Pearce. Despite earning damage points by puncturing the sides of Behemoth, Rambot was eliminated on the basis of it having less 'controlled aggression' than either of its opponents.
X-Terminator 2	Arnold, Arnold Terminegger	Heat N, Semi-Final	Second consecutive Judges' decision for the Team EyeEye machine. Another close battle where X-Terminator 2 repeatedly axed, controlled and pushed Arnold, Arnold Terminegger across the arena at high speed, though Arnold, Arnold Terminegger survived and responded by turning the Hereford machine over at one point. As well as being evidently less aggressive, Ian Inglis later explained that his team's machine did not show enough control over X-Terminator 2 by comparison.
X-Terminator 2	Behemoth	Heat N, Final	Despite turning X-Terminator 2 over three times and appearing to dominate the early stages, Behemoth began struggling with mobility issues partway through due to a suspected gearbox issue. This allowed X-Terminator 2 to overcome its initial deficit by lifting and hooking Behemoth multiple times in controlling fashion, receiving its second-straight decision as a result. Through this defeat, Behemoth became the highest-ranked seed to lose a Judges' decision in the Heats.
Panic Attack, S.M.I.D.S.Y.	Overkill GTI	Heat O, Eliminator	Another closely-fought melee, with all three competitors still active by the end. Overkill GTI ended the match with a punctured tyre, damage which had been noticed by Jonathan Pearce during the later stages.
Tornado	Wheely Big Cheese	Semi-Final 1, Round 1	A close match between both competitors, with Wheely Big Cheese ultimately being hobbled by a broken wheel weld despite initially throwing Tornado over multiple times. Tornado, finishing the more aggressive of the two, survived a motor burnout during the late stages, caused by a dropped drive chain which left it immobilised on one side. Roger Plant jokingly disagreed with the decision in post-battle interviews.
Pussycat	Thermidor 2	Semi-Final 1, Round 1	Another close head-to-head battle; despite getting repeatedly flipped by Thermidor 2 in the early stages, Pussycat won out on the damage it inflicted to the Norwich machine's armour and pincers. David Gribble admitted afterwards that he did initially 'underestimate' Thermidor 2 at the start, with Alan revealing to Craig Charles that Thermidor 2 was the first robot to have inflicted damage to Pussycat up to this point in its career.
Dominator 2	Firestorm 2	Semi-Final 1, Round 1	A 2-1 split decision separated by one point; Craig Charles announced this as the closest decision in the original series at that time. Decided by damage inflicted to Firestorm 2 by Dominator 2's axe, despite Firestorm 2 flipping and coming close to beaching Dominator 2 against the side wall in the final seconds.
Pussycat	Dominator 2	Semi-Final 1, Round 2	Considered by Craig Charles to be one of the best fights he had seen up to this point.
Stinger	Panic Attack	Semi-Final 2, Round 2	Panic Attack appeared to demonstrate a more controlled performance, at one point lifting Stinger onto one wheel. However, Stinger responded by inflicting multiple blows to the Series 2 champion's sides and front end, winning the unanimous decision on aggression by one point. The decision itself proved very unpopular, with loud booing being heard from audience members supporting Panic Attack; Kim Davies ultimately agreed with it regardless based on Stinger having a 'naturally more aggressive' weapon. A victorious Kevin Scott nevertheless considered this battle a 'tough call'.
Hypno-Disc	Wild Thing	Semi-Final 2, Round 2	Despite sustaining serious damage to its wheels and bodywork, Wild Thing fought valiantly, pushing Hypno-Disc into Dead Metal and against the side wall on various occasions. Hypno-Disc won this close battle on the aforementioned damage.
Chaos 2	Stinger	Grand Final, Eliminator	Yet another close match and the first Judges' decision for Chaos 2, ending its previously-unbroken streak of knockout wins. The defending champion threw and controlled Stinger across the arena and into Dead Metal, but sustained damage to its polycarbonate covers through taking multiple blows from Stinger's mace. The Judges decided that the two competitors were equal on style, damage and aggression, but Chaos 2 was ahead on 'quality of control', therefore awarding victory to George Francis' machine in spite of a mixed audience response.
Chaos 2	Pussycat	Grand Final, Final	The first UK Championship Final since Series 1 to be determined by the Judges. Both robots put in an even performance and sustained damage to each other, with Chaos 2 losing a polycarbonate strip and Pussycat's blade being disabled by becoming lodged in its own bodywork. Chaos 2, having thrown Pussycat across the arena for much of the battle, won the decision on all criteria, becoming the first - and only - UK competitor to successfully defend its title. According to Team Tornado, the former was ruled to have been more aggressive and better controlled.
Gemini	Killertron	Celebrity Special, Round 1	Chris Eubank, Killertron's celebrity driver, light-heartedly disagreed with the decision.
Firestorm 2 & Scorpion	Bigger Brother & Plunderbird 4	Tag Team Terror, Round 1	First Tag Team Terror battle to end on a Judges' decision, marked by dominant performances from both Bigger Brother and Firestorm 2. Despite being immobile by the end, Scorpion and Plunderbird 4's performances were also taken into account - a practice reversed in Extreme 2 by the decision-making for Lightning & Nasty Humphrey's first Tag Team battle.
King B3 & 101	Inverterbrat & X-Terminator 2	Tag Team Terror, Round 1	Inverterbrat became immobilised partway through due to a gearbox issue, with X-Terminator 2 outmatched by aggressive displays from both King B3 and 101.
Attila the Drum, Behemoth, Onslaught, Razer, Spawn of Scutter	Vercingetorix	Southern Annihilator, Round 1	Vercingetorix was immobilised by the end due to a shorted out aerial, having sustained damage from Razer and been repeatedly pushed and lifted by both Behemoth and Spawn of Scutter. However, the TV broadcast did not show a countdown timer for the battle; Jonathan Pearce announced the decision in place of Craig Charles.
Attila the Drum, Behemoth, Onslaught, Razer	Spawn of Scutter	Southern Annihilator, Round 2	Despite Behemoth taking terminal damage from Razer, Spawn of Scutter lost mobility altogether in the closing moments due to a suspected power or receiver issue. The Judges ultimately decided to eliminate the Team Scutterbots entry, though Behemoth would also be forced to withdraw due to gearbox issues. In the North American Grand Champions dub, Stefan Frank's commentary did not mention the Judges' decision, instead inferring that Spawn of Scutter was eliminated via knockout at this stage.
Onslaught, Razer	Attila the Drum	Southern Annihilator, Round 4	Attila the Drum performed aggressively and inflicted significant damage to Razer throughout, but was partially immobilised by Sir Killalot upon getting pushed into his CPZ by Onslaught. Though no countdown timer was shown, this occurred late enough in the battle that it survived to the Judges alongside its opponents. Based on its prior attacks, Jonathan Pearce believed that Attila the Drum had the potential to qualify for the final up until its immobilisation.
Mortis	Panic Attack	War of Independence, Round 2	This battle was actually fought twice; the initial battle ended in a Judges' decision which went in favour of Mortis. The producers protested, wanting Panic Attack to go through instead, so the battle was re-fought, with Mortis again winning via the Judges. The televised battle consisted of footage from both battles edited together into one. In the televised edit, Mortis was revealed to have won the decision by just one point, with Kim Davies also commenting on the more damaging and aggressive attacks inflicted by its axe.

Robot Wars Extreme: Series 1

Victor(s)	Loser(s)	Battle	Notes
Wild Thing	Dominator 2	All-Stars, Round 1	A close and evenly-fought Heat battle. Despite getting a few axe blows and controlling attacks on Wild Thing, Dominator 2 lost following damage sustained to its shell and tyres, with Jonathan Pearce also commenting on its generally less accurate axe attacks. Announced by Pearce in place of Craig Charles.
Tornado	3 Stegs 2 Heaven	All-Stars, Round 1	Dominant performance from Tornado, which repeatedly pushed, chased and damaged 3 Stegs 2 Heaven with its newly-introduced drum. The new Jurassic Park machine survived the full duration, despite losing drive on one side and generally suffering with traction issues. Announced by Jonathan Pearce in place of Craig Charles. Rare instance of the Floor Flipper being used on an active heavyweight in the Classic Series.
Razer	Gemini	All-Stars, Round 1	Razer dominated much of the battle despite some strong attacks from the Gemini segments. Not shown on television, the then-reigning World Champion was thrown upwards and damaged by the Floor Flipper while driving over it, despite the hazard only generally being used on immobile competitors in the original series. Both competitors continued fighting after this, but the Judges only evaluated the battle up until the moment the Floor Flipper activated. In their deliberation, victory was awarded to Razer.
Pussycat	Stinger	All-Stars, Round 1	A 'mighty' head-to-head encounter, where Pussycat received the decision based on the damage it inflicted to Stinger's tyres. David and Alan Gribble, nevertheless, later commented on Stinger's 'massive' mace blows and tough-to-defeat design, with Alan revealing to Craig Charles that the Cold Fusion Team gave their opponent 'extra reinforcement' beforehand.
Chaos 2	Wheely Big Cheese	All-Stars, Quarter-Finals	Rematch of the Series 3, Heat E Final, the latter involving Wheely Big Cheese's predecessor The Big Cheese. Unanimous decision in favour of Chaos 2, which repeatedly threw Wheely Big Cheese around and into the CPZs despite encountering minor pressure issues caused by a cold CO2 supply.
Razer	Behemoth	All-Stars, Quarter-Finals	Rematch of the First World Championship final. An extremely close, yet unanimous decision was awarded in favour of Razer by only one point, based entirely on the damage it inflicted to Behemoth. Considered 'controversial' by Craig Charles, who, along with Team Make Robotics, felt that Behemoth was the stronger performer through its rams and flips.
Razer	Firestorm 3	All-Stars, Semi-Finals	First of three head-to-head encounters between the Bournemouth machine and the Firestorm series of robots.
Tornado	Chaos 2	All-Stars, Semi-Finals	Through this victory - predicted as a 'very close' decision by Jonathan Pearce - Tornado avenged a previous loss against the double UK Champion in the Series 4 Semi-Finals. A moment where Tornado pursued Chaos 2 into the bottom-left CPZ was considered pivotal in the Judges' ruling. Despite the Huntingdon machine being fully in the CPZ by the time Dead Metal attacked, the panel ruled that the House Robots should have only attacked Chaos 2 as Tornado had initiated the move to begin with.
Diotoir & Mega Morg	King B Powerworks & 101	Tag Team Terror, Round 1	The defending UK Tag Team champions lost after King B Powerworks was left spinning uncontrollably, and 101's right-hand track became disabled following a flip by Diotoir. This defeat lead to a quarrel between Mike Franklin and Simon Harrison as to which robot was responsible, eventually setting up a Vengeance match later in the series between the two long-time 'rivals'.
The Steel Avenger & Suicidal Tendencies	Cerberus & Thermidor 2	Tag Team Terror, Semi-Finals	Thermidor 2 became immobilised after a wire got disconnected from its battery, but Cerberus survived to the end. Whilst not determinative, Thermidor 2's immobilisation was key in the team's loss. By contrast, Comengetorix survived for the full five minutes of the other Semi-Final, but was not taken to a Judges' decision against Diotoir and Pussycat due to its partner Spawn Again becoming immobilised.
Diotoir & Pussycat	The Steel Avenger & Suicidal Tendencies	Tag Team Terror, Final	Treating the fight as two separate one-on-one battles, Jonathan Pearce opined that Diotoir had defeated The Steel Avenger, and questioned whether Suicidal Tendencies had defeated Pussycat. Suicidal Tendencies, despite controlling the Cold Fusion Team machine on multiple occasions, could not do so, having also bent and lost the tip of its crusher in an attempt to pierce Pussycat's armour. Diotoir and Pussycat eventually prevailed on a close decision, the battle itself being praised by Craig Charles and John Willoughby in particular.
Pussycat	Sumpthing, S.M.I.D.S.Y.	Mayhem
Arnold A. Terminegger	Wild Thing, Fluffy	Mayhem	A surprise split decision in favour of Team EyeEye's machine; Isabelle Adams strongly disagreed with this during Wild Thing's post-battle interview.
The Steel Avenger	King B Powerworks, Tornado	Mayhem	Despite a strong start, Tornado became immobilised through a dislodged removable link, shortly after taking a damaging side-on ram from King B Powerworks. King B Powerworks and The Steel Avenger fought on, with the latter lifting, axing and removing King B Powerworks' right-front wheel with a ramming attack. However, during the final few seconds, The Steel Avenger crossed the border of Matilda's CPZ and was thrown over by her flywheel, which was perceived as an illegal House Robot attack. John Willoughby, nevertheless, admitted that he did not realise that his machine was close enough to Matilda for this to happen. The Judges ignored the damage done by Matilda in their ruling, voting The Steel Avenger through to qualify for the second Annihilator on a 'really close call'.
Pussycat	Arnold A. Terminegger	Annihilator 1, Final
Drillzilla	Firestorm 3, NEAT Machine, Whirlpool 70	The Second World Championship, Heats	Awarded to the US shufflebot on aggression, despite Firestorm 3 eliminating NEAT Machine and Whirlpool 70 by flipping them.
Razer	Diotoir, The Revolutionist, Flensburger Power	The Second World Championship, Heats	In the Extreme Warriors version, Mick Foley tricked Team LOGICOM into thinking that The Revolutionist had won the battle.
Tornado	Philipper, Panzer Mk2, Yeborobo	The Second World Championship, Heats	The only defeat suffered by the Panzer Mk series of robots.
Razer	Drillzilla	The Second World Championship, Grand Final	Considered by Vincent Blood to be his best memory of the original series in the Razer Ultimate Warrior Collection DVD.
Tornado	Behemoth	Challenge Belt, Challenge 3 (Behemoth as holder)	An even, closely-fought duel, where Tornado's relentless rams and drum attacks were countered by multiple flips and equivalent head-on shoves from Behemoth. Despite getting stacked against the CPZ side wall at one point, the Huntingdon machine succeeded in its challenge, in a decision considered to be an 'upset' by Craig Charles.
Tornado	Wild Thing	Challenge Belt, Challenge 3 (Tornado as holder)	A 'very, very close' challenge, where Tornado won the decision on aggression to permanently secure its first belt.
Stinger	Ajjay	Wild Card Warriors	Despite starting strong with powerful pushing and ramming attacks on Stinger, Ajjay, itself lacking a working weapon, exhibited limited control through excursions into the walls, hazards and Sir Killalot. Towards the end, however, Sir Killalot grabbed, lifted and dropped Stinger out of the arena after 'Cease' had been called. The Judges ruled Stinger the winner regardless in a 2-1 split decision, to a mixed response from the audience. Despite acknowledging his machine's issues, John Shepherd believed that he was 'robbed' of the decision.
Tornado	Stinger	Vengeance	First televised battle in Extreme 1; first Judges' decision made by original technical consultant Mat Irvine in the UK Series. A 'very, very close' battle, where Tornado won out despite taking damage to its sides and top castors from Stinger's mace. Jonathan Pearce announced the decision in place of Craig Charles.
Ming 3	Mega Morg	Vengeance	Ming 3 pierced Mega Morg's bodyshell early on, in a tentative battle marked by several transgressions from House Robots Sir Killalot and Dead Metal.
Plunderbird 5	Mega Morg	Vengeance	Tentative and largely uneventful grudge match, held to determine which of the two teams were the 'best singers'. A 'bored' Shunt axed and temporarily became stuck to the top of Mega Morg, though the Welsh machine's early attacks were not enough to stop Plunderbird 5 from taking the decision.
Anvil	Mega-Hurts	Forces Special, Final	Mega-Hurts had been suffering from steering problems, but Dead Metal illegally pitted Anvil, which the Judges disregarded in making their 'close' decision.
Anvil	Mega-Hurts, Rhino	Armed Forces Melee	All three robots ended up in the pit, Mega-Hurts being the first to fall. While Anvil attempted to push Rhino in, both were shoved over the edge together by Dead Metal. As above, the still-mobile Anvil took the subsequent Judges' decision, with the House Robot's attack again being disregarded.
Ansgar	Flensburger Power, Nasty Warrior, Golem	German Melee	Very tentative group battle serving as a preliminary qualifier for the Second World Championship. Also broadcast in Heat A of German Robot Wars.
Chaos 2	Alien Destructor & Philipper	International Mayhem	Both the Dutch and Belgian robots - themselves competing in the concurrently-filmed Dutch Series 1 - teamed up in an effective 2v1 against the double UK Champion. Chaos 2 driver George Francis was the only member of its team appearing in this battle.
Combat Ant	Little Nipper, Anto, Anty B, Legion, Pants, Razzler	Antweight Championship

Extreme Warriors: Season 1

Victor(s)	Loser(s)	Battle	Notes
The Brute	Medusa Oblongata, Red Virus, 6 Million Dollar Mouse, Falcon, Shuriken	US Championship, Heat 1	The first of the six-way US Championship Heat battles to be shown in broadcast order - the nature of this battle format resulted in all four finishing on a Judges' decision. Four surviving machines would last the full distance, with The Brute being given the decision on aggression.
The Revolutionist	Bot-Ugly, Coffin-Bot, Tricerabot, Sobek, Unibite	US Championship, Heat 2	Despite not being able to use its full-body spinner, and Tricerabot being the only remaining robot to have inflicted visible damage on opponents, The Revolutionist was given the Judges' decision.
Manta	Close Enough, Tiger Cat, Mad Cow, Rippa Raptor, Rosie the Riveter	US Championship, Heat 3	With all five of its opponents appearing to suffer mobility issues, Manta was awarded the Judges' decision, which still surprised Team Suspect Robotics. Mick Foley remarked that the decision was considered an 'upset' when speaking to the team after it was announced.
Panzer Mk2	Drillzilla, General Chompsalot, Cyclone, Run Away, Spartacus	US Championship, Heat 4	Considered the closest Heat according to Mick Foley, an intensely-fought battle resulting in three machines lasting the full duration. Though the televised edit largely emphasised the attacks of Drillzilla and General Chompsalot, the decision ruled that Panzer Mk2 won, to the surprise of both Todd Mendenhall and Stefan Frank.
Panzer Mk2	Manta	US Championship, Semi-Final
Rosie the Riveter, Tricerabot, Tut Tut & Silver Box; Matilda, Shunt & Sir Killalot	None	Robot Rebellion, Rebellion	The four competing robots managed to defeat Matilda and Shunt, before Sir Killalot entered the arena to grab Silver Box and carry it to the pit. Before Silver Box could be fully dropped in, Sir Killalot lost balance, allowing Tricerabot, Tut Tut and Rosie the Riveter to attack and attempt to pit the House Robot before 'Cease' was called. Though the Judges declined to name a winner, the general consensus in the televised episode was that the Rebellion was a 'moral victory' for the competitors. Mike Morrow later revealed that Sir Killalot was successfully pitted in the full 5-minute battle, though this was omitted from the broadcast version. First onscreen appearance by Mat Irvine as a Judge.
Drillzilla & Tut Tut	Tricerabot & Rosie the Riveter	Tag Team Terror, Round 1	A chaotic opening battle involving multiple tagging and House Robot infringements, culminating in Drillzilla pitting Tricerabot moments before time ran out. The unanimous decision named Drillzilla and Tut Tut victorious, with Bruce Hall considering the former attack as the most decisive factor.
General Chompsalot & Run Away	Falcon & Joker	Tag Team Terror, Round 1	Amidst further House Robot infringements, Sir Killalot left his CPZ to grab and turn an otherwise aggressive Run Away over, almost dumping the Team Run Amok machine out of the arena in the process. These illegal attacks immobilised Run Away once it had been placed and thrown back onto its wheels by the Floor Flipper. In their ruling, the Judges evaluated the battle up to the point of Sir Killalot's intervention, which was declared 'out of order'. The decision was thus awarded to General Chompsalot and Run Away based on their initial performance; Team Falcon jokingly opposed to this based on the damage supposedly inflicted by their side.
6 Million Dollar Mouse	Falcon	Civil War, Eliminator
Sobek	The Revolutionist	Civil War, Eliminator	Mick Foley criticised the match for a lack of action, pitying the Judges as they made their decision.
General Chompsalot	Stinger	War of Independence, Eliminator	An 'excellent, hard-fought match', which was believed by Team Jawbreaker to have been won on aggression.
Rosie the Riveter	Plunderbird 5	War of Independence, Eliminator	Both robots suffered mobility issues late on; Plunderbird 5 as a result of losing drive to its left side, and Rosie the Riveter once its ramming spike got bent and started catching the wooden arena floor. Though Plunderbird 5 started more aggressively, the Team Juggerbot machine prevailed on damage in a 'very close' call.
General Chompsalot	Joker	War of Independence, Semi-Final	Midway through this battle, the pit was raised to free Dead Metal after he attempted to drag Joker over the hazard. General Chompsalot also attempted to pit Joker without success, but won the unanimous decision regardless.
Pussycat	General Chompsalot	War of Independence, Final	In a 'tremendously close' decision, Pussycat was declared the winner based on the cosmetic damage it inflicted to General Chompsalot. Tim Berghoefer of Team Jawbreaker respectfully disagreed with the Judges, likely on the basis of his machine's aggressive and controlling performance.

Robot Wars: The Fifth Wars

Victor(s)	Loser(s)	Battle	Notes
8645T	T-Bone	Heat A, Eliminator	Described as a 'very close contest' by the Judges according to Team Roaming Robots. Despite dealing damage to 8645T's sides, and receiving the loudest applause from the audience upon being prompted by Craig Charles, T-Bone lost out on the decision after its disc became incapacitated and the robot pinned under 8645T's rear axe tip in the later stages.
Bulldog Breed 3	Lambsy	Heat B, Semi-Final
Stinger	Hippobotomus	Heat C, Eliminator	Though Hippobotomus took extensive damage to its sandpit body, the decision still left young team member Ellen McBride in tears.
S3	Mousetrap 2	Heat C, Semi-Final
Wild Thing	Trouble 'n' Strife	Heat E, Eliminator	A close performance between both competitors. Despite getting flipped and taking major damage from the newcomer's disc on various occasions, Wild Thing persevered to win the decision on aggression; an outcome considered 'controversial' by Craig Charles.
Napalm 2	Warhog	Heat E, Eliminator	Tentative, largely uneventful battle, with Warhog's full-body spinner not functioning at all. Ended with both robots becoming immobilised simultaneously, with the Judges ruling Napalm 2 the winner on aggression.
Wild Thing	Prizephita Mach 2	Heat E, Final	In the only Heat Final of the entire series to go to the Judges, Prizephita Mach 2 weathered attacks from Wild Thing's disc while flipping it over multiple times. However, Wild Thing recovered with consistent pushes on Prizephita Mach 2 as the latter began losing mobility, swinging the Judges' decision in its favour on aggression. When asked by Craig Charles about whether he felt 'cheated' by the result, Roy Alcock agreed, believing that Prizephita Mach 2 would receive the decision.
King B Powerworks	Kronic 2	Heat F, Eliminator
Corkscrew	13 Black	Heat F, Eliminator	According to the Team 13 Black website, the battle was temporarily stopped to allow the House Robots to separate both competitors when they became stuck together; a Judges' decision was only called when this attempt failed. Corkscrew received the decision on damage, an outcome which surprised Team 13 Black as they believed their opponent was immobile and that 13 Black itself was more aggressive throughout. John Denny, nevertheless, considered this to be a 'well matched fight' between the two horizontal spinners.
Dominator 2	King B Powerworks	Heat F, Semi-Final
Corkscrew	X-Terminator	Heat F, Semi-Final
Evolution	Sabretooth	Heat G, Eliminator	While the two competitors survived the full duration, Evolution was attacked mercilessly by Sgt. Bash and Sir Killalot, both of whom had left their CPZs and received yellow cards from Refbot. The Judges disregarded the House Robots' interference in giving Evolution the decision.
Crushtacean	Robochicken-Evo	Heat H, Eliminator	Split decision.
Splinter	V.I.P.E.R. 01	Heat I, Eliminator
Tetanus	Onslaught	Heat I, Eliminator	Both robots became immobilised and were counted out simultaneously; Onslaught was eliminated after being left unable to self-right following Tetanus' attacks.
3 Stegs 2 Heaven	Eleven	Heat I, Eliminator	Both robots became entangled when 3 Stegs 2 Heaven attacked Eleven's hydraulic cables, forcing an intervention.
Widow's Revenge	Sumpthing	Heat K, Eliminator
Suicidal Tendencies	Rick	Heat K, Eliminator	Despite losing the Judges' decision, Rick would be reinstated as the dominant Suicidal Tendencies later withdrew due to technical issues.
Terrorhurtz	Ming 3	Heat L, Eliminator	As Ming 3 was crossing the Flame Pit and dragging Terrorhurtz with it, Matilda left her CPZ and immobilised the former with her flywheel. Though this allowed Terrorhurtz to escape, the battle went to the Judges as a result of Matilda's intervention. Terrorhurtz would receive the decision anyway, whilst Team Ming was given an apology for what had happened. Matilda was given a red card and "a good smack up the backside" according to Jonathan Pearce.
Fluffy	101	Heat L, Eliminator	First occasion where a seeded robot lost a Judges' decision in the first round.
Pussycat	Clawed Hopper	Heat L, Semi-Final
Chaos 2	Wild Thing	Semi-Final 1, Round 1	A dominant performance by Chaos 2 matched by Wild Thing almost pitting the reigning two-time UK Champion on two separate occasions. The Judges put Chaos 2 through on its closest win, which George Francis considered to be his best fight in his machine's Ultimate Warrior Collection DVD.
S3	Wild Thing, Spawn Again	Semi-Final 1, Losers Melee	Spawn Again was eliminated, but Wild Thing and S3 fought to a very close Judges' decision. Wild Thing won on style and control, but the damage inflicted by S3 proved more decisive, taking into account its attacks on Spawn Again.
Razer	S3	Semi-Final 1, Round 2
Pussycat	Panic Attack	Semi-Final 2, Round 1
Firestorm 3	Panic Attack, Wheely Big Cheese	Semi-Final 2, Losers Melee	Despite Panic Attack finishing the stronger of the surviving competitors, the Judges awarded the victory to Firestorm 3 on the basis of it putting on a stronger performance throughout.
Hypno-Disc	Dominator 2	Semi-Final 2, Round 2	After immobilising Dominator 2 on one side, Hypno-Disc backed out of any further attacks to avoid risking potential damage to itself. Despite this, Dominator 2 was not counted out; the battle lasted the whole distance, which ended up with it being dubbed the most 'boring' the Judges had ever seen up to this point. Hypno-Disc received the decision regardless to progress to its third-consecutive Grand Final.
Firestorm 3	Pussycat	Semi-Final 2, Round 2
Razer	Firestorm 3	Grand Final, Eliminator	The closest decision ever made at this point in the original series. Despite suffering major damage to its armour and flipper in the early stages, Firestorm 3 fought back gallantly, repeatedly pushing and pulling Razer across the arena for the latter's hardest-fought win. Prior to the decision being announced, the Judges entered the arena to inspect both robots, and Craig Charles conducted an audience vote where Razer also received most of their applause.
Razer	Bigger Brother	Grand Final, Final

Dutch Robot Wars: Series 1

Victor(s)	Loser(s)	Battle	Notes
Philipper	Lizzard	Heat A, Round 1	Dominated by the Belgian entry, which used both of its weapons to lift Lizzard and prise its main bodyshell off.
Bamm Bamm	Rat	Heat A, Round 1	Midway through the fight, both robots became locked together multiple times as Rat tried to clamp down on Bamm Bamm. At one point, the "club" surrounding Bamm Bamm's axe burnt over the Flame Pit, leaving both competitors with fire damage. Despite this, Bamm Bamm received the Jury's nod after striking Rat with its axe before and after the blaze.
Lizzard	Arena Killer	Heat A, Semi-Final	Both competitors were attacked by House Robots Matilda and Shunt at various stages. Despite getting flipped over by Matilda and the Floor Flipper, Lizzard prevailed, having whacked Arena Killer multiple times with its tail prior to those moments.
Alien Destructor	Scraptosaur	Heat B, Round 1	The Jury ruled in favour of Alien Destructor, which, despite proving more aggressive, had been repeatedly attacked by the House Robots while it was still mobile.
Twisted Metal	Alien Destructor	Heat B, Semi-Final	A split decision, with two members of the Jury voting for the winner, Twisted Metal.
Pika 2	X-Bot	Heat C, Semi-Final	Mostly a tentative, but even pushing match. Pika 2 earnt a crucial damage advantage partway through by splitting X-Bot's scoop blade with its disc.
Pika 2	Botwork	Heat C, Final	Though starting strongly by pushing Botwork around from the side, Pika 2 took damage to its wheels and later spent several seconds burning on the Flame Pit. Even with the consequential mobility issues, including a flat left tyre, the VHS-Robots machine lasted the distance. During his post-match interviews, Rob Kamphues initially offered to buy a new Pikachu stuffed toy - belonging to Tim van Hek - to replace the one destroyed in battle. The Botwork team were also revealed to have worked out Pika 2's weaknesses beforehand, having resided in the neighbouring Pit bench and 'spied' on VHS-Robots as they prepared their machine.
El-Mower	Flextreme	Heat D, Round 1	El-Mower, which landed more frequent attacks with its spinner, was awarded the victory despite becoming immobile at the end of the battle. Unable to pick a winner himself, Rob Kamphues remarked that the Jury had 'flipped a coin' in reaching this decision.
Enderbot	Flextreme, Project One	Heat D, Losers Melee	The Jury turned in a split decision in favour of Enderbot, likely as a result of its overhead attacks on Flextreme. This overruled Enderbot's immobility at the end of the melee. It is unclear whether Flextreme or Project One received the remaining vote; with Flextreme being the more mobile machine and Project One being credited for its axe blows earlier in the battle.
NEAT Machine	MaxiMill, Shapeshifter	Heat E, Losers Melee	NEAT Machine - the most mobile of the trio - secured victory through attacking both opponents, despite getting its front bumper caught in the floor partway through. The match ended in NEAT Machine and MaxiMill becoming stuck together, as the former's axe could no longer retract properly, and the already-eliminated Shapeshifter being completely destroyed by Matilda.
Sater	Sniper	Heat E, Final	An extremely tentative and uneventful fight, marked by moments where both competitors became stuck on the Flame Pit. Sniper was hampered by flipper damage carried over from its preceding fight against NEAT Machine; the decision not to repair this was later viewed by captain Michael Hanser as a mistake. Though Sater aggressively rammed Sniper at one point, it could not properly attack its larger opponent, having also suffered pressure issues with its own lifting arm.
Bamm Bamm, Botwork	Sater	Grand Final, Eliminators	Though all three robots remained mobile, Sater lost out due to extensive damage inflicted to its armour and lifter by both opponents. In post-battle interviews, Botwork was also revealed to be low on power during the latter stages.
Slicer	Lizzard	Grand Final, Final	Following a 'tough' and evenly-matched final, Slicer was crowned the first Dutch champion via a 2-1 Jury's decision. This also marked one of two occasions, alongside The First World Championship, where a competition final was won by a split decision.

Rocky-Bot-Boa, The Bat	Medusa Oblongotta	Heat B, Round 1	The Bat and Medusa Oblongotta were immobilised at roughly the same time, but The Bat was counted out and pitted by the House Robots. The Judges declared that a decision would be necessary, and a split decision reinstated The Bat over Medusa Oblongotta.
Rocky-Bot-Boa	Manta	Heat B, Round 2	A close pushing match which resulted in a split decision.
The Bat	Mad Cow Bot	Heat B, Round 2	Mad Cow Bot lost mobility to one side very quickly, but was still considered mobile enough to survive to a Judges' decision. Mick Foley later addressed this match as a split decision.
The Brute, Conquering Clown 2	Sir Force A Lot	Heat C, Round 1
Dragbot, King of Diamonds	The Termite	Heat F, Round 1	Shunt came out of his CPZ and activated the pit trigger, before pushing the still-moving King of Diamonds into the opened hazard. The Judges ruled that even though King of Diamonds was pitted illegally by the House Robot, The Termite's reduced mobility was the cause for its elimination. Mick Foley noted the controversy surrounding the decision.

Rocky-Bot-Boa & Black Widow	General Chompsalot 2 & The Termite	Tag Team Terror, Round 2	Both General Chompsalot 2 and Rocky-Bot-Boa were pitted mid-battle. Black Widow and The Termite survived to the end, but Mick Foley did not specify whether their contributions were taken into account.
Rocky-Bot-Boa & Black Widow	G-Force & Sir Force A Lot	Tag Team Terror, Final
General Chompsalot 2	Manta	International Championship, Semi Final
Tornado	Razer	International Championship, Semi Final	The first battle in which Tornado used its 'anti-crusher weapon' against Razer. Despite a dominant start, Tornado's weapon frame was severely damaged by illegal attacks from the House Robots and the motor for its disc removed by Razer. The Judges ignored the House Robot attacks in giving Tornado the 2-1 split decision, which Team Razer disagreed and later discussed with the Judges themselves. In their ruling, Tornado's weapon motor had been mistaken by the Judges for one of Razer's wheels, and the frame for its 'anti-crusher weapon' erroneously considered sacrificial armour. Noel Sharkey later called this his 'most disastrous moment' as a Judge when referring to the battle in a Computer Science for Fun interview.
Snake Bite	Rosie the Riveter 2	Robot Rebellion, Semi Final	After a pushing match where Snake Bite's lower ground clearance and longer pushes rivalled Rosie the Riveter 2's higher speed and aggression, a 2-1 split decision was called in favour of Snake Bite.
Snookums	Ninjitsu	Robot Rebellion, Semi Final	For the second match in a row, the Judges called another split decision, in favour of Snookums which was more aggressive and controlled, despite sustaining damage from Ninjitsu and Sgt. Bash.

Ming 3 & Rick	Spin Doctor & The Revolutionist	International Tag Team, Final	Both Ming 3 and Rick were attacked by Sir K, resulting in them becoming immobilised and dumped out of the arena respectively. The Judges considered the latter attack as an 'illegal ejection' on Sir K's part, and chose to evaluate the battle up until that point.
Hannibal, Bunny Attack	The Piecemaker	Annihilator, Round 3
Hannibal	Bunny Attack	Annihilator, Final
Propeller-Head	Rosie the Riveter 2, Xylon	Mayhem, Round 1	An exceptionally close Mayhem battle, with all three competitors putting in aggressive performances and surviving the full duration. Propeller-Head won as a result of more damaging attacks on both Rosie the Riveter 2 and Xylon.
Vert-I-Go	Techno Trousers, Joker	Mayhem, Round 1
Tut Tut	Rosie the Riveter 2	Challenge Belt	Split decision. A closely-fought head-to-head between members of Team Juggerbot, where Tut Tut's axe blows appeared to outweigh Rosie the Riveter 2's persistent shoves and rams. Audience members can be heard booing upon the decision being announced, suggesting that this outcome received a mixed response.
Tut Tut	Probophobia	Challenge Belt	Probophobia lost drive to its wheels partway through, but following a mid-series rule change was able to survive the full duration by using its lifting forks as a backup source of locomotion. Tut Tut completed an undefeated streak as a result of this decision.
Ninjitsu	Destructive Criticism	Battle of the Spinners	Both robots exchanged damaging hits with their spinning discs, only to lose their weapon chains/belts in separate moments partway through. Upon the decision being announced, Evan White was left surprised by the victory granted to Team Katana's machine.

Razer	Cyrax	Heat A, Round 2
Barbaric Response, X-Terminator	Robochicken, Spirit of Scorpion	Heat B, Round 1	Despite Barbaric Response falling into the pit, Robochicken and Spirit of Scorpion were eliminated as both had become immobilised first.
Firestorm 4, Mega Hurts 2	Cedric Slammer, Colossus	Heat B, Round 1	All four robots were rendered immobile by the battle's conclusion, with Firestorm 4 driving itself into the pit after flipping all three of its opponents. Cedric Slammer and Colossus were deemed to be the first two to have become immobilised as a result.
X-Terminator	Mega Hurts 2	Heat B, Round 2
Sir Chromalot, The Alien	GBH 2, ICU	Heat D, Round 1	In a split decision - and after a very close opening melee - the Judges decided that Sir Chromalot would advance with The Alien after deeming it to have been more engaged throughout than GBH 2. This overruled Sir Chromalot's perceived immobility at the end of the battle, with the damage sustained by GBH 2 also believed to be a factor in its elimination by Mike Smith.
S3, Shredder	Armadrillo, Roobarb	Heat D, Round 1
Shredder	The Alien	Heat D, Round 2	Neither robot's weapon was active and both showed poor control, driving into the CPZs regularly to take damage at Shunt's hands. Karl Asplin openly disagreed with the decision, arguing with Craig Charles about The Alien's inactive weapon by pointing out that Shredder's was not working either. The crowd was noticeably divided between Shredder and The Alien, greeting the decision with a mixture of boos and applause.
Vader, Wild Thing 2	UFO, The Stag	Heat E, Round 1
Wild Thing 2	259	Heat E, Round 2	Despite 259 being immobile for 26 seconds, Philippa Forrester questioned Noel Sharkey as to why Wild Thing had won. While Sharkey defended their decision on the grounds of Adam Clark's machine becoming immobilised in the first place, he reiterated 259's earlier dominance by battering and flipping Wild Thing over multiple times.

Dominator 2	S.M.I.D.S.Y.	Heat J, Round 2
Hydra	Comengetorix	Heat J, Round 2
Dominator 2	Hydra	Heat J, Final
Disc-O-Inferno	Killer Carrot 2	Heat L, Round 2	Disc-O-Inferno suffered an internal fire and temporarily lost mobility until it was extinguished by Refbot. Because the robot had not been immobilised for the full thirty seconds, the Judges made a decision with the fire as a factor, but a non-determinative one.
Dantomkia	13 Black, Wild Thing 2	Semi-Final 1, Losers Melee
Razer	Dantomkia	Semi-Final 1, Round 2
Tornado	Hypno-Disc	Semi-Final 2, Round 1	The only Judges' decision which Hypno-Disc ever lost.
Dominator 2	Bigger Brother	Semi-Final 2, Round 1
Tornado	Razer	Grand Final, Final	A tense and highly controversial championship decider in which the Judges inspected both robots for damage and spent forty minutes determining the winner.

13 Black	Dominator 2	All-Stars, Heat B, Round 2
Mini Morg & X-Terminator	S.M.I.D.S.Y. & Sumpthing	Tag Team Terror, Round 1	First application of the Extreme 2 Tag Team elimination rule, in which only one robot per team needed to be immobilised for an automatic win via the Judges. Sumpthing was counted out immediately before 'Cease' was called, resulting in it and S.M.I.D.S.Y. being eliminated without the decision being announced on screen.
Lightning & The Steel Avenger	Nasty Humphrey & Stinger	Tag Team Terror, Round 1	The Steel Avenger pitted Stinger but fell in itself in the process, eliminating both from the fight. The two remaining robots fought, with the Judges basing the results on their performances alone. In this context, they deemed that Lightning had fought better than Nasty Humphrey. This changed the precedent set in Series 4's Tag Team Terror with the decision for Firestorm 2 & Scorpion vs Plunderbird 4 & Bigger Brother.
Barbaric Response & Hydra	Mini Morg & X-Terminator	Tag Team Terror, Round 2	X-Terminator survived until the end of the battle, but lost automatically as Mini Morg was already deemed immobile.
Crushtacean, Panic Attack	Terror Turtle, Cerberus	Commonwealth Carnage, Round 1	Moments before the battle drew to a close, Terror Turtle was prematurely overturned by Sir Killalot away from the CPZs. Although the Judges overruled the House Robot's illegal immobilisation in their decision, they would put the more dominant Panic Attack through along with Crushtacean, which had pitted Cerberus in the very early stages.
Razer (Later handed the victory to Tornado)	Tornado	European Championship, Round 2	Initially, the Judges gave the win to Razer based on its more dominant performance, but team members Simon Scott and Vincent Blood disagreed with their decision. Later on, they decided to hand over victory to Tornado as they felt that their machine had been immobilised for more than thirty seconds while attempting to carry their opponent to the pit. This was the second time in which a victorious team overruled the Judges' decision and forfeited their place.
Mute, Roobarb	Terror Turtle	New Blood Championship, Heat A, Round 1	Mute drove itself into the pit, but the Judges determined that Terror Turtle had already been immobilised after getting flipped over and eventually stranded on the arena wall by Roobarb.
Mute	Mr Nasty	New Blood Championship, Heat A, Round 2
Mute	Roobarb	New Blood Championship, Heat A, Final	Despite getting stuck on the Flame Pit during the final seconds, Mute won the Judges' decision based on its more impressive performance.
Pressure	Piranha	New Blood Championship, Heat D, Round 2	Craig Charles and the Piranha team both disagreed with this decision.
Cedric Slammer	Pressure	New Blood Championship, Heat D, Final	Jonathan Pearce remarked that he thought Pressure had won.
Storm 2	Thor	New Blood Championship, Grand Final, Eliminator
Mute	Cedric Slammer	New Blood Championship, Grand Final, Eliminator	Cedric Slammer and Mute both became immobilised at the same time, so the Judges based the battle up to that moment. The resulting split decision gave victory to Mute.
Storm 2	Mute	New Blood Championship, Grand Final, Final	A very close battle saw Storm 2 claim the New Blood Championship by one point.
Iron-Awe 2, Terrorhurtz	Barber-Ous 2, Vader	Challenge Belt, Round 1	Terrorhurtz emerged as the only robot still left mobile; the Judges deemed that Barber-Ous 2 had been immobilised before Iron-Awe 2 after losing drive on one side.
Infinity	Infernal Contraption	University Challenge, Round 2
Tiberius 3	Infinity	University Challenge, Final
Typhoon	Typhoon Twins, Steel Sandwich, 259	Middleweight Championship, Final	The double entry from the Edinburgh Air Cadets easily defeated their opposition, but ran out of time to fight each other once Steel Sandwich had been counted out. The Judges gave victory to the reigning champion, Typhoon.
Cutlet, Gladiator, Micro Mute	Dragon, Flybot, Kitty	Featherweight Championship, Round 1	All six robots fell into the open pit. The Judges chose the three which fell in last to go through.
Argh!	Bernard, Cutlet, Gladiator, Katnip, Micro Mute	Featherweight Championship, Final	Though the battle went the entire distance, Argh! was the only robot still considered mobile.
Lower, Pants	Serpant, Buzzant, Militant, Minimalistic	Antweight Championship, Qualifier	Adam Clark acted as the sole Judge for this melee.
Pussycat	Kat 3	Iron Maidens, Round 2	A split decision, but both teams agreed with the outcome.

Pussycat, Roobarb	Twister, Brutus Maximus	Heat A, Round 1
M2	Pussycat	Heat A, Round 2	A Judge personally inspected M2 for damage, which was deemed superficial, and the decision reportedly took 15 minutes to make according to Team Technobots captain Paul Cooper. During the final ten seconds, M2 had lost mobility on one side, but won regardless.
Big Nipper, The Grim Reaper	Barbaric Response, Kan-Opener	Heat B, Round 1
The Grim Reaper	Gyrobot	Heat B, Round 2
The Grim Reaper	Big Nipper	Heat B, Final	An extremely close Heat Final, with The Grim Reaper being deemed marginally more aggressive. Craig Charles and Jonathan Pearce both noted Big Nipper's stronger finish.
Dantomkia, King B Powerworks	Rick, Hassocks Hog 2	Heat C, Round 1	Dominated by Dantomkia, with the Judges having to choose between King B Powerworks and Rick to progress. The Judges were split in selecting King B Powerworks.
Gravity, Thor	Hodaf the Bad, Hydra	Heat D, Round 1	Gravity eliminated Hydra by throwing it out of the arena, but in doing so caused Hydra to crush a wall panel as it landed, resulting in the battle being stopped for safety reasons. The Judges based the battle up to that moment, putting Gravity and Thor through to Round 2.
Tetanus Booster	Ewe 2	Heat E, Round 2	Tetanus Booster caused cosmetic damage to Ewe 2, but was otherwise pushed around for the full five minutes, almost becoming immobile. The controversial decision was awarded to Tetanus Booster, after which Craig Charles and Team Coyote admitted they could not understand why the Judges had voted this way. The Tetanus team jokingly claimed that they had bribed the Judges beforehand.
Constrictor, Killer Carrot 2	Fluffy, Scarey-Go-Round	Heat F, Round 1
Ceros, Scraptosaur	Ming Dienasty, Metalis	Heat H, Round 1	The second of two instances where a seeded robot lost a Judges' decision in the first round.
Steel Avenger, Trax	Shredder Evolution, Sub-Version 1.1	Heat I, Round 1	Described as a controversial call by Craig Charles after Shredder Evolution caused damage during the fight.
Storm 2	Trax	Heat I, Round 2
Thermidor 2	Mighty Mouse	Heat J, Final
Bulldog Breed, Mantis	Infernal Contraption, Jabber	Heat K, Round 1	Bulldog Breed flipped Infernal Contraption around, but Infernal Contraption inflicted serious internal damage to the seeded machine in return. Additionally, mesh which was suspected to be illegal became loose from inside Bulldog Breed and ended up being dragged behind the machine. The Judges' decision put Bulldog Breed through, albeit on a yellow card after Derek Foxwell investigated the mesh and found it was merely to protect the flipper valves. Meanwhile, Infernal Contraption team member Ray Thomson was very displeased about the result, as Infernal Contraption had caused significant damage to the chassis of Bulldog Breed which bent its wheels out of alignment.
Kat 3	Mantis	Heat K, Round 2	A very even performance between Kat 3 and Mantis, both managing to land numerous successful attacks on each other. The Judges' decision was so close that even Jonathan Pearce could not call it.
Bulldog Breed	Kat 3	Heat K, Heat Final	The Judges personally examined Bulldog Breed when weighing the damage criteria of Kat 3. Finding that the blows were superficial, they unanimously ruled Bulldog Breed through.
Mute	Judge Shred 3	Heat L, Heat Final	In the televised battle, Mute was flipped multiple times by Judge Shred 3, often attempting to self-right in spectacular fashion. Judge Shred 3's mobility was severely hampered towards the closing stages, which Craig Charles briefly mentioned during post-battle interviews. Adam Emmett confirmed that Mute also landed multiple attacks in return using each of its flippers, though only two of these were shown. The Judges awarded Mute the decision by one point for its stylish self-righting, which both Charles and Alan Blakeman openly disagreed with.
Tough as Nails	Panic Attack	Heat M, Round 2
Tough as Nails	Robochicken	Heat M, Final
Raging Knightmare, R.O.C.S.	Topbot, The Executioner	Heat N, Round 1
Hammerhead 2, Iron-Awe 2.1	Xenomorph, DisConstructor	Heat O, Round 1
Reptirron the Second, Ripper	Aggrobot, Zorro	Heat P, Round 1
Bulldog Breed	Tough as Nails	Semi-Final 1, Round 1
Storm 2	The Grim Reaper	Semi-Final 2, Round 1
Storm 2	Tornado	Grand Final, Eliminator	Refbot pressed the pit release button partway through, briefly trapping Tornado in place as it was pushed onto the descending pit panel by a dominant Storm 2. Tornado was quickly freed, allowing both competitors to survive to the Judges. The issue of whether Refbot's actions were discounted as part of their overall decision was not addressed on TV, nor were these actions addressed as a form of House Robot interference.
Typhoon 2	Storm 2	Grand Final, Final	Both robots were personally inspected for damage and evenly matched on the judging criteria; Storm 2 winning on control and aggression and Typhoon 2 winning on style and damage. As damage carried more weight in the Judges' scores, the decision was given to Typhoon 2, an unpopular result amongst the audience, the teams, and even the Judges themselves.
Pussycat	Kat 3	All-Stars, Semi-Final
Crushtacean	PulverizeR, Snake Bite	The Third World Championship, Heat	Leaking hydraulic fluid prevented Snake Bite from moving far from its starting position, resulting in its early elimination. However, the Swiss representative eventually regained enough traction on the arena floor to drive long after it had been counted out. Snake Bite proceeded to attack both of its opponents in spite of its elimination, grabbing hold of Crushtacean in the closing moments. The question of whether Snake Bite's attacks were disregarded in tallying Crushtacean's points was not addressed on TV.
Storm 2	Tornado, Ansgar 3	The Third World Championship, Heat
Storm 2	Supernova	The Third World Championship, Grand Final	The gyroscopic forces of Supernova's disc resulted in it getting carried towards and stranded on an entry gate. Shortly afterwards, Shunt turned Storm 2 over against an angle grinder, leaving it stranded as well before Supernova was freed by Refbot, whose counter had suffered a technical fault. Despite the battle going to the Judges, it was ruled that Supernova should have been counted out to begin with, handing Storm 2 the victory.
Mantis	Pinser, R.O.C.S.	Crusher Crunch-Up
Prince of Awe, Rip	Alpha, Kitty, Cygnus X3, G2, Mini-Maul	Featherweight Championship, Qualifier
Bernard, DTK	Alienator, Cutlet, Mammoth, Staglet, Typhoon Cadet	Featherweight Championship, Qualifier
DTK	Whipper, Bernard, Rip, Prince of Awe, Rampage 2	Featherweight Championship, Final	Despite DTK winning the battle, Craig Charles felt Whipper should have been awarded the victory.

Robot Wars: Series 8

Victor(s)	Loser(s)	Battle	Notes
Turbulence	Merlin	Pilot Episode, Head to Head	The first Judges' decision to be made by Sethu Vijayakumar and Lucy Rogers, in favour of Turbulence.
Behemoth	Nuts	Heat A, Head to Head	The first televised Judges' decision to be made by Sethu Vijayakumar and Lucy Rogers, in favour of Behemoth. Also the first Head to Head battle to award the winner two points instead of three, due to the lower value of a win via Judges' decision.
Terrorhurtz	Nuts	Heat A, Head to Head	Another example of Series 8's Head to Head format having a significant impact on competitors. Terrorhurtz's victory via the Judges put it on equal points with Behemoth (five), which was not enough to secure its place in the Heat Final as Behemoth had defeated it via knockout earlier on in the same round. By contrast, a potential knockout victory against Nuts (three points) would have guaranteed Terrorhurtz's chances of progression.
Thor	Shockwave	Heat B, Head to Head	A fast-paced, yet commanding performance from Jason Marston's machine. Thor's unrelenting axe blows were cited by Lucy Rogers post-match as the key factor in it receiving the unanimous decision.
M.R. Speed Squared	Foxic	Heat B, Head to Head	After an uneventful battle, a split decision was awarded in favour of M.R. Speed Squared. Professor Noel Sharkey remarked afterwards that this was potentially the worst battle he had ever seen in Robot Wars.
Dantomkia	Big Nipper	Heat C, Head to Head
Storm 2	Eruption	Heat D, Head to Head	A split decision, which overruled Storm 2's perceived immobility in the final twenty seconds of the battle. A single point separated the totals of all three Judges' scores.
Apollo	Storm 2	Heat D, Head to Head	Apollo flipped Storm 2 repeatedly in the opening stages, but lost drive to one side halfway through the fight and was pushed around the arena by the latter. A unanimous decision was awarded in favour of Apollo, to the surprise of roboteers in attendance.
PP3D	Eruption	Heat D, Head to Head	After both robots became semi-immobilised simultaneously, it was stated by Dara Ó Briain that the battle was judged based on the first minute alone.
Ironside3, Chompalot	Pulsar, Thermidor 2	Heat E, Group Battle	Although Pulsar was eliminated at this stage, the Judges would later reinstate it when Chompalot withdrew, due to it surviving for longer than Thermidor 2 in this battle. By filming order, this was the first main series battle to be reviewed by the new panel of Judges.
Ironside3	Gabriel	Heat E, Head to Head
Gabriel	Beast	Heat E, Head to Head	Though the full three minutes were reached and the Judges made a decision, they decided that 'Cease' should have been called earlier based on Beast's lack of mobility. As a result, Gabriel was awarded the full three points.
Pulsar	Ironside3	Heat E, Head to Head	Ironside3 was flipped early on by Pulsar's drum, spending a substantial amount of time inverted as it was unable to self-right under further pressure from Pulsar and Sir Killalot. Team Outlaw's machine was eventually re-righted by Sir Killalot, proceeding to push Pulsar into the pit before falling in itself. The Judges were consulted on how to proceed, and for the second time in this Heat decided that their decision was actually a knockout, ruling that Ironside3 had been immobile for more than ten seconds. Team Outlaw themselves were noticeably displeased with the result, as the decision directly led to their elimination. Team Ranglebots defended the decision, pointing out that Ironside3 had indeed been immobile whilst upside down.
Pulsar	Gabriel	Heat E, Heat Final
Thor	Behemoth, Dantomkia, Gabriel, Storm 2	Grand Final, Wild Card	Though no battle took place, the Judges were still required to make a decision as to which of the five Heat Finalists would receive the wild card place. Taking the performances of each robot throughout the whole series into account, they opted for Thor.
TR2	Carbide	Grand Final, Head to Head	Though victorious against Carbide, the lower score earned by TR2 via the Judges lead to it being eliminated at this stage of the competition. Despite this, Alex Brown considered this battle to be the best he had ever fought.
Apollo	Carbide	Grand Final, Final	Fifth consecutive UK Championship decided by a Judges' decision.

Robot Wars: Series 9

Victor(s)	Loser(s)	Battle	Notes
JAR	Interstellar: MML	Battle of the Stars, Episode 1, Head to Head
Soldier Ant	Dee	Battle of the Stars, Episode 2, Head to Head	Sethu Vijayakumar considered the grappling attacks of Soldier Ant - which punctured one of Dee's tyres at a late stage - to be especially significant.
Dee	Robo Savage	Battle of the Stars, Episode 2, Head to Head	A split decision that was openly disagreed with by Robo Savage's Robbie Savage and Jason Marston, despite their machine taking damage to its flipper mid-bout. After the decision, Robbie Savage not only offered a pair of glasses to the Judges, but also polled the audience of 1,000 over who deserved to win, to which Savage claimed only the two voting Judges felt that Dee won. Dee's Jordan Stephens however, disputed this.
Jellyfish	Sabretooth	Heat A, Head to Head	The first Judges' decision aired in the main Series 9 was also a split decision, with the Judges voting 2-1 in favour of the recently-reinstated Jellyfish.
Behemoth, Eruption	Cobra, Hobgoblin	Heat B, Group Battle
Cherub	PP3D	Heat B, Head to Head	Originally, the battle had to be restarted when recoil from Cherub hitting PP3D's disc caused it to slam into the arena wall, breaking a panel off. Once restarted, both robots were immobile, causing the Judges to unanimously vote for Cherub based on both halves of the battle. This decision led to much debate online, compelling Noel Sharkey to specify on Twitter that the decision incorporated no bias towards the youthful team.
Cherub	Behemoth	Heat B, Head to Head	Originally, the battle had to be restarted as Cherub became trapped underneath the Floor Flipper, whereby the ruling dictated a robot could not be immobilised in that way. After the battle reached the full three minutes and the unanimous decision was ruled in favour of Cherub, Anthony Pritchard left the control room before the interview, frustrated with his team over their decision to equip Behemoth with its untested - and ultimately ineffective - grabbing arms. Pritchard believed that Behemoth's regular lifting scoop would have secured it victory.
Concussion	M.R. Speed Squared	Heat C, Head to Head
Concussion	Thor	Heat C, Heat Final
Ironside3, Pulsar	None	Heat D, Head to Head	During the battle, Pulsar suffered drive issues which caused the immobilisation countdown to start. Because Team Ranglebots' machine was still able to move on one side, the countdown ceased as per the rules on grounds for immobilisation stating a robot could not be counted out in that fashion. However, whilst the immobilisation countdown stopped on the screen that the Judges were viewing the battle from, a glitch caused the countdown shown in Team Outlaw's control room to continue and run its course. Convinced that they had won by knockout, Team Outlaw - and Ironside3 - subsequently did not attack the still-mobile Pulsar for the remainder of the battle. Originally, the Judges' decision was unanimously awarded to Pulsar, but overturned once the countdown glitch had been reported and an investigation into the issue started. Following their investigation, with Pulsar still mobile and Team Outlaw deemed victims of a technical error, the Judges decided to award both teams two points, believing it would be unfair to either of them if they made a decision influenced by these circumstances.
Apollo	Crackers 'n' Smash	Heat E, Head to Head
Apollo	Cherub, Pulsar, Sabretooth, Thor	Grand Final, Wild Card	Though no battle took place, the Judges were still required to make a decision as to which of the five Heat Finalists would receive the wild card place. Taking the performances of each robot throughout the whole series into account, they opted for Apollo.

Robot Wars: Series 10

Victor(s)	Loser(s)	Battle	Notes
Behemoth	Sabretooth, Donald Thump	Heat A, Group Battle	The first battle under the new Group Battle format was also the first to have a Judges' decision. Since Behemoth and Sabretooth were immobilised at the same time, the Judges decided to award victory to the former based on the whole battle. Gabriel Stroud notably disagreed with the decision.
Sabretooth	The Swarm	Heat A, 3rd Place Playoff	The first 3rd Place Playoff battle acting as a qualifier for the 10 Robot Rumble. Though ending with a Judges' decision, the Judges unanimously declared that all segments of The Swarm had been immobilised, handing the battle to Sabretooth by default.
Carbide	Gabriel 2, Big Nipper	Heat B, Group Battle	An extraordinarily close, yet unanimous decision, in a melee where Gabriel 2 immobilised Big Nipper on one side and survived relentless blows from Carbide's bar spinner. One of Carbide's tyres also split apart mid-match, temporarily leaving the defending champion beached on the arena floor. Considered by Dave Moulds to be the best battle that Carbide ever had. Following this fight, Team Saint received a 'Guard of Honour' from fellow roboteers upon returning to The Pits. The only occasion where Carbide won by a Judges' decision.
Eruption	Big Nipper	Heat B, Semi-Finals
Rapid	Bucky the Robot, Track-tion	Heat C, Group Battle	Although Bucky the Robot was unable to self-right after being flipped by an arena spike, the battle still went to a Judges' decision as it had not been counted out.
Terrorhurtz	Vulture	Heat C, Semi-Finals
Iron-Awe 6	Tauron, The Kegs	Heat D, Group Battle	Although both robots were deemed immobile by the end, the Judges ruled that Iron-Awe 6 survived longer than Tauron, awarding it the victory. Team Tauron's Tom Brewster initially disagreed with the result, having managed to move Tauron off the debris which stranded it after 'Cease' had been called. Brewster claimed in an interview shown after the battle that his immobility at the end of the battle was a voluntary decision; he only became aware of Iron-Awe 6's victory once Dara Ó Briain informed both teams of the result.
Androne 4000	Tauron	Heat D, Robot Redemption	Noted as a remarkably close battle despite ultimately being a unanimous decision.
Thor	Coyote, Expulsion	Heat E, Group Battle
Expulsion	Push to Exit	Heat E, Robot Redemption	Both robots were deemed immobile after a minute, causing the Judges to unanimously vote for Expulsion based on the events leading up to the double immobilisation.
Thor	Coyote	Heat E, Semi-Finals
Nuts 2	Carbide, Behemoth	Grand Final, Group Battle	Nuts 2 became the first robot to defeat Carbide since the Series 8 Grand Final after disabling the defending champion's bar spinner.
Eruption	Behemoth	Grand Final, Semi-Finals
Eruption	Carbide	Grand Final, Final	A unanimous decision where the Judges had to repeatedly watch replays of the battle before declaring a new Robot Wars champion. Noel Sharkey reiterated on Twitter their consensus that Carbide's slices in Eruption's armour did not award it enough damage points to outscore Eruption's more sustained flips.
Apollo, Gabriel 2	Cobra, TMHWK	World Series, Episode 1, Tag Team	The first battle of the World Series ended with a Judges' decision, with the Judges voting in favour of Team UK, which had two active robots.
Cobra	Sabretooth	World Series, Episode 1, Head to Head	Considered by Gabriel Stroud to be his machine's best fight, despite Sabretooth losing out to the Belgian Rest of the World representative.
Rabid M8	Gabriel	World Series, Episode 1, Head to Head	The Rest of the World representative Rabid M8 narrowly defeated Gabriel 2 on a split decision, where Gabriel 2 was also immobile for the final five seconds of the battle. Team Saint felt they would lose the Judges' decision, but burnt out a speed controller in order to reach the end of the battle, and in turn limit the points that would be earned by Rabid M8.
Thor	Tough as Nails	World Series, Episode 2, Head to Head	Last Judges' decision and 'grudge match' in Robot Wars, this being a rematch between the pair following their Group Battle in Series 8, Heat B.

Audience Decisions

On some occasions, rather than having the Judges be consulted, the outcome of the battle was decided by the audience. In most cases, this only applied to exhibition/whiteboard battles held purely for entertainment.

Eventual Victor	Eventual Loser	Battle	Notes
Bunny Attack	Hoot	Nickelodeon Robot Wars, Vengeance	Rather than having the fight go to the Judges, Dave Aizer asked the audience to vote on which robot they felt won. Bunny Attack, having consistently tried to push and hammer Hoot, won the vote and the Vengeance match.
Behemoth, Gravity	Cassius Chrome, Growler, Mr Psycho	Robot Wars: The Seventh Wars, House Robot Rebellion	Growler, Mr. Psycho and Gravity were all immobilised by the end of the battle, with Cassius Chrome also being pitted for a substantial amount of time in the early stages. However, the nature of the battle meant that robots were not counted out or eliminated individually.
Gabriel	Behemoth	Series 8, Whiteboard match 3	Unaired. The audience was relied upon because the Judges were not in attendance. Gabriel won despite being only partially mobile for much of the battle.

Rematches

On some occasions where two robots became immobilised at the same time (usually at an early stage of a battle, with competitors not being directly immobilised by damage), the Judges would order a rematch to take place. The latter condition would require both robots to fight again - with repairs beforehand if necessary - and the outcome of the first attempt to be annulled.

These do not count as Judges' decisions, because the battles were decided by other factors.

Eventual Victor	Eventual Loser	Battle	Notes
Chaos 2	S.M.I.D.S.Y.	The Fifth Wars, Heat A, Final	Chaos 2 flipped S.M.I.D.S.Y. against the side wall, before throwing itself over and being left unable to self-right due to a damaged flipper cover. The Judges, unable to make a decision, called for a rematch, which Chaos 2 won via knockout.
Firestorm 3	Hypno-Disc	The Fifth Wars, Grand Final, Playoff	Firestorm 3 entered this battle in a heavily-damaged state, with its flipper rendered inactive following its earlier loss against Razer in the Eliminators. Despite this, it ultimately succeeded in driving underneath and pushing Hypno-Disc towards the pit, only for both robots to fall in at the same time. For the second time in this series, the Judges called for a rematch, but Hypno-Disc had suffered terminal internal damage from the double pitting and was unable to fight again. This would give Firestorm 3 the win by default; its second third-place finish in the main UK Championship.
Ninjitsu	Buzz	Extreme Warriors: Season 2, Robot Rebellion, Eliminator	Within the opening moments of the battle, Buzz hooked Ninjitsu's chassis with its flipping arm and eventually carried its opponent towards the pit. Both robots fell in at the same time, causing the Judges to immediately order a rematch. Shortly after the fight had been restarted, Buzz suddenly became immobilised, allowing Ninjitsu to win.

Trial Decisions

In the first two UK Series, the Judges were also called to decide the outcome of certain Trial events. This would usually occur in points-scoring challenges, whereby they would determine which robot would be eliminated in the event that more than one did not score at all.

Robot Wars: The First Wars

Participating Robots	Eliminated Robot	Event	Notes
Dreadnaut, WYSIWYG	WYSIWYG	Heat C, Football, Round 4	Both robots were deemed immobile before the start of this round; thus, the Judges were called to decide which one would progress based on how often they possessed the ball. Dreadnaut - itself immobilised during the second and third rounds - was chosen on this basis, with WYSIWYG being the second stock robot to be eliminated at the Trial stage.
Eubank the Mouse, Prince of Darkness, Skarab, The Blob, T.R.A.C.I.E.	Eubank the Mouse	Heat F, Snooker	The stock robot was deemed to have 'irreparably broken down' after colliding with the side rails and not moving again afterwards. Neither it, The Blob nor T.R.A.C.I.E. potted a ball, the latter after impaling itself between the railings of its own pocket.

Robot Wars: The Second Wars

Participating Robots	Eliminated Robot	Event	Notes
GroundHog, Sting, Wizard	Sting	Heat H, Football, Round 3	The chaotic third round resulted in all three of the remaining competitors failing to score a goal following attacks by the House Robots. In their ruling, the Judges deemed Sting to have been immobile for longer than its opponents.

Robot Wars: The Third Wars

Judges' decisions were also made in the Third Wars Robotic Soccer competition, particularly if none of the competing robots scored within the full allotted time. The Final - aired as part of the Grand Final episode - differed from the Heat qualifiers in featuring four robots instead of two. Robots deemed immobile mid-match are highlighted in italics.

Victor(s)	Loser(s)	Event	Notes
Evil Weevil	Gnasher, The General, Velocirippa	Robotic Soccer, Final	With no goal scored by the end of the match, the Judges were consulted and the decision was made based on the criteria of a regular battle. Velocirippa and The General experienced bouts of immobility, while Evil Weevil turned Gnasher over, despite the latter's more consistent attempts at possessing the ball earlier on. Within the aforementioned context, Evil Weevil's flip was considered the most decisive factor by Jonathan Pearce, enabling it to be declared Robotic Soccer champion.

Trivia

• Although split decisions - where two Judges voted differently to the remaining Judge - were not uncommon in Robot Wars, only twice did this occur in a competition final: Razer vs Behemoth in The First World Championship, and Slicer vs Lizzard in Dutch Series 1.
