ROBOTS from television’s hit show, Robot Wars, are coming to Kidderminster.

As part of their UK tour, Robots Live! will be at The Glades Arena at Wyre Forest Glades Leisure Centre.

Robots from all over Europe will be attending the event, including television favourites, such as Tornado, Bigger Brother, Behemoth and the Robot Wars World Champions, Storm 2.

Fighting alongside the 100kg heavyweight machines will be the Wildcards, who have not had success on the small screen.

The audience will also get the chance to view the Feather Weights, weighing 13Kg and featuring fights containing anything from four to 18 robots.

Keeping guard of the arena during the featherweight fights will be house robot, Battleaxe, weighing in at 130kg and complete with steel jaws and a pneumatic axe.

The Robotic Boxers will also fight it out, standing six feet tall and weighing more than 100kgs, made from solid steel.

Competing in the event will be Team Asgard from Birmingham, with their robot, Apocalypse. They have been fighting robots for nearly 10 years and were the 2006 UK Champions with their previous robot, Turbulence.

In 2006, Robots Live! built their touring arena, which weighs more than four tonnes, measures 10 by 12 metres and is more than four metres high.

It is surrounded by bullet-proof screen and contains its own arena weapons, including a floor flipper and “the dreaded pit”.

The event takes place on Saturday, October 16 at 6pm and noon and 3pm on Sunday, October 17.
