Seeding

==[[Robot Wars: The Sixth Wars]]==
The Sixth Wars featured seeded robots based on performance in the previous series. The UK Championship format remained the same, but the Heats changed their format. Now only one seed was placed in each heat, and the other heat finalist was often up to the luck of the bracket (for example, both [[S.M.I.D.S.Y.]] and [[Bulldog Breed]], which could potentially have been seeded had there been 24 seeds, ended up facing the seeded robot of their respective heats in Round 2).

===Selection===
The twelve seeded places were intended for the twelve Semi-Finalists from Series 5, with the four Grand Finalists getting the first four places. This series marked the only time this occurred in series history, due to Razer finally being seeded for its UK Championship performance alone. However, as [[Pussycat]] and [[Wheely Big Cheese]] did not compete in Series 6, the final two seedings were given to Stinger and Tornado instead. This was most likely due to their performance in the Fourth Wars, having finished in the top eight.

===Success rate===
*Nine seeds would reach the Top 12, though all would make the top 24 by reaching heat final status. This made The Sixth Wars the only series where none of the seeds fell in the first or second round.
**Six seeds made the Top 8.
**Three seeds made the top 4 (Seeds 1, 3 and 12).
*Five robots finished in their expected positions.
**Firestorm 4 became the third robot after Killertron and Chaos 2 to finish in its exact numbered position, by placing third on a third projected finish.
**Dominator 2 and S3 reached the Top 8 on a 6th and 7th projected finish respectively, and Wild Thing and Spawn Again reached the Top 12 on 9th and 10th projected finishes.
*Only a single seed exceeded expectations in The Sixth Wars, that being eventual champion Tornado.
**It also had the largest gap between its seeding (12th) and its finished position (1st).
*The remaining six seeds all performed below expectations, ranging from [[Razer]] (first projected, second actual) to [[Chaos 2]], [[Panic Attack]] and [[Stinger]] falling in the heat final.
*Chaos 2 had the biggest gap between projected finish and actual finish, finishing in the heat final stage (equivalent to top 24) from a projected top 8 place. This is the same result that 3 Stegs 2 Heaven delivered in the previous year.
