Did the author really mean to say that they show a dubbed version in Ireland? This sounds like bad vaudeville/music hall humor of 120 years ago. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Italo Svevo ( talk • contribs)
There are so many individual robot pages here that are unwikified. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 213.249.243.169 ( talk • contribs)
Can someone who knows please write why the show was cancelled? I miss the show I would like to know why it stopped. EchetusXe ( talk) 14:07, 11 July 2008 (UTC)
Heavyweight: Up to 100 kg or 100 lb? Both are used in the article. Can't both be right. 132.229.116.79 13:51, 11 January 2007 (UTC)
someone is changing series 4 finalists. It should be chaos 2 winner, then pussycat runner up, tornado 3rd and dominator 2 4th, hypnodisc and stinger never even made the quaterfinals, check live videos if you dont believe me. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.7.22.33 ( talk) 18:45, 10 August 2008 (UTC)
No mention of Jamie Hyneman and Adam Savage's winning design with Blendo? -- 68.45.218.70 ( talk) 01:41, 5 January 2010 (UTC)
IIRC they competed in the American competition which was not shown in the UK. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.30.239.102 ( talk) 22:08, 27 December 2015 (UTC)
Where do all the broadcast dates on this page come from? Some of them appear on external sites, but I've been trying to find the others for years and now they suddenly appear here. Is there any verification to confirm the dates? Christophee ( talk) 01:54, 21 January 2011 (UTC)
Well, you can look on Robot Wars wiki but the broadcast dates are missing for the Third Wars.-- The Master of Mayhem 11:40, 20 March 2011 (UTC)
Why there are the US rules in the section "Format", but still in the header is stated that Robot Wars was a British game show. Seems somehow odd. 82.141.119.188 ( talk) 17:35, 6 October 2011 (UTC)
controled by human or computer ( AI)? Are there any rules regarding the action of house robots? When can they fight against the contestants? I saw from videos that house robots often stay still at the beginning of the match and later they begin to move.-- Gqqnb ( talk) 06:53, 13 April 2013 (UTC)

This page contains a lot of intricate detail, for example on the House Robots and Arena. Granted, it was a very detailed and evolving show, but we mustn't let our nostalgia crowd the rules of WP. However, I would reccomend the fantastic Robot Wars Wiki for limitless knowledge on the series. Chausssettte ( talk) 22:21, 30 January 2014 (UTC)
Is it worth puttng up a mention of repeats. Challenge have aired repeats of series 2 and most recently have started to air repeats of series 5... Visokor ( talk) 22:09, 9 November 2015 (UTC)
No other TV shows have a section on reruns, so no. 86.30.239.102 ( talk) 22:12, 27 December 2015 (UTC)
Was this an actual house robot? No info in the table and i don't remember him. 82.47.31.154 ( talk) 15:40, 30 January 2016 (UTC)
He was used in the Roaming Robots and Robot Wars live tours. 80.111.246.131 ( talk) 00:24, 22 February 2016 (UTC)
PP3D is a wide, convertible heavyweight robot, armed with a bottom-mounted flywheel, that competed in the 2016 series of Robot Wars, who's fly wheel nearly sheared off after destroying the scoop on Shunt, despite of a loss of C02. 79.77.200.119 ( talk) 20:13, 14 August 2016 (UTC)
I've noticed this has been changed, and I'm not sure about it. So far, it's been referred to as the 2016 series, in the article as opposed to the 8th Wars or Series 8., and I have to admit that I probably favour it I've not seen anything from the BBC refer to the show as "The Eighth Wars" or Series 8 (there are only very small references to the previous series on screen). As much as I would prefer there to be a clear lineage between S1 and the new one, that has not been referred to either on screen or in publicity to a sufficient extent: as there is no sign yet from anybody (as far as I'm aware) that it is officially known as the 8th Wars or Series 8, I would back returning the article to "2016 Series" or "2016 revival". What do we think? 86.170.252.98 ( talk) 12:14, 10 August 2016 (UTC)
Official teaser put out by BBC Two indicated that the upcoming series is series 9: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Mv_CRw2MfU JCW555 ( talk) 20:36, 10 February 2017 (UTC)
Shouldn't the house robot weights include both their weights from the original series and their weights from the revival (I mean Killalot nowadays is 741 kilos) Visokor ( talk) 13:00, 23 October 2016 (UTC)

I'm curious, what caused the show to be cancelled a second time?: were the spinner weapons now too powerful for the arena to contain (I remember Aftershock's blade breaking halfway out of the wall while fighting Carbide), or was it the controversy sparked when it was found out Craig Charles wouldn't be hosting again? 2600:1700:6841:4980:106A:488A:4E88:E6C4 ( talk) 06:02, 12 March 2023 (UTC)
