UK Finalists

This page lists every robot which has reached the Series Semi-Final (Series 2-7 only) and/or Grand Final stages of the UK version of Robot Wars.

To avoid confusion regarding the performance ratio of robots that only entered one series, this page is split into two halves. This first half is for robots that made multiple attempts at the title. The second half of this article is for robots that made one single attempt at the title before retirement or, in many cases, the show's hiatus.

Multiple Appearances

Notes

• Competitors are listed by teams if they have entered multiple robots into the main UK Championship competition.
  • Robots from side events and other weight categories are excluded.
  • Robots from a team who reached the Semi-Finals and/or Grand Final are listed in bold if they have reached those respective stages themselves at some point.
• Competitors are listed alphabetically where the ratio is the same from the same numerator and denominator (i.e. Bulldog Breed, Dartford Girls Grammar, Plunderbird, Team 101).
• The success rate is determined by the following equation:

Success rate = Heats won/No. of appearances x 100

One Appearance

Notes:

• As all robots included here have a 100% success rate, they are simply listed by the stage they reached in their single appearance.
  • For Series 1, reaching the Grand Final is deemed to be the same as finishing fourth in Series 2-9.
  • For Series 2, being eliminated in the Semi-Final Gauntlet or Trial is deemed to be the same as losing in the first round of the Semi-Finals. Being eliminated in the Semi-Final Arena stage is deemed the same as losing in the second round of the Semi-Finals.
  • For Series 8-9, being eliminated in the Grand Final Group Battles is deemed to be below fourth place, but above the second stage of the Semi-Finals.
  • For Series 10, being eliminated in the Grand Final Group Battles and Robot Redemption rounds is deemed to be below fourth place, but above the second stage of the Semi-Finals.
• In the case of an equal placement, robots are listed alphabetically.
