Robot Wars was a British TV show, where people control their robots to fight against one another. The competing robots came in different shapes and sizes, but their weight could exceed 100 kilograms. They all tried to throw other robots out of the arena where the competition took place. If your robot is the last one in the arena, you will win. The competition wasn’t an educational programme but many viewers found it very informative and entertaining. During the height of its success, millions of people watched the show. In 2004, the show ended because of the declining number of viewers. However, thanks to fans’ demands, the show might make a comeback.
