Time to start thinking about robot designs...

Published 13th Jan 2016

It's time to get down your shed and start designing your robot - much loved game show Robot Wars is returning to our screens!

The BBC confirmed that six brand new hour-long specials will be made, featuring a new structure with more robots, more battles and more science than ever before! The show will be recorded in a new purpose-built fighting arena in Glasgow, allowing spectators and viewers at home to be close to the action.

The first show aired over a decade ago presented by Craig Charles and technology has definitely advanced since then. Viewers can expect to see more innovative fighting as teams of amateur robot designers battle it out.

An air date hasn't been announced yet, whilst we wait have a look at the best moments here...
