ROBOT WARS
BRIEF
In 2016, the beloved robot battling show 'Robot Wars' made its triumphant return on BBC 2. Hosted by Dara O’Brain and Angela Scanlon, the series featured amateur builders crafting their own combat robots. These creations converged in the formidable Robot Wars Arena for intense battles, vying for the title of Robot Wars Champions.
Mentorn TV, responsible for the show's revival, sought a partner to make this exciting reboot a reality. Robo Challenge eagerly accepted the opportunity to contribute to a show that had been a significant source of inspiration. Our flagship project involved designing and crafting the iconic House Robots: Sir Killalot, Matilda, Shunt, and Dead Metal. These formidable guardians of the arena received substantial upgrades, modernization, and heightened ferocity, poised to take on any challengers. In addition, Robo Challenge provided crucial consultancy services, contributing to the design of the new arena, format development, and the establishment of new rules and safety regulations for participating teams. During filming, our experienced team managed the technical aspects of the event to ensure smooth battles conducted with the highest safety standards.
