Welcome to the Robot Wars Wiki
the Robot Wars encyclopedia that anyone can edit. We are currently working on 2,312 articles.

These articles cover both runs of the UK TV game show Robot Wars, including competitor and House Robots; presenters; battles; episodes and teams, alongside their Dutch, American and German counterparts. The Wiki also contains pages with information relevant to the terminology and sport of robot combat.

This wiki only covers Robot Wars, and as such does not provide detailed information from MechMania, Techno Games, BattleBots, Robotica or other similar competitions. Appearances in these competitions by Robot Wars teams is briefly highlighted where applicable. Robot Wars Live Events are summarised on relevant pages, though articles specific to the 2013 to 2016 events of that name are not covered.

Robot Wars Wiki is also associated with King of Bots Wiki - please visit this site for information on the Chinese shows King of Bots and This is Fighting Robots.

Robot Wars Revealed

Robot Wars Revealed was a spin-off of the original UK Robot Wars series, first airing exclusively on BBC Choice between 1998 and 1999.

Presented by Philippa Forrester, the fifteen-part series provided behind-the-scenes insights into The Second Wars, including exclusive footage, additional interviews and video diaries of selected teams preparing for their appearances in the series. Brief recaps of Gauntlet, Trial and Arena events from the main Series 2 were also included, as were additional segments focused on production elements, various Robot Wars crewmembers and the creation of The Sentinel. Competitors reaching the Heat Final stage and beyond would also receive concise design insights from series Technical Consultant Mat Irvine.

On the evening of 6 May 2022, Mech+ streamed Robot Wars Revealed in its entirety, with all remastered episodes being available to stream on demand the following day. Prior to this, only two episodes (Episodes 7 and 9) had full recordings publicly available online following the series' original airings.
