What to expect

We have had a lot of questions about the shows and some misconceptions too, hopefully we can clear both up here:
Each show is at least 2 hours long and will contain at least 8 battles, these can be one on one or melee's.
Both heavyweight and featherweight will battle it out for a place in Sundays Grand final.
Sunday will have semi finals and the Grand final battles for both.
At the end of Sundays Final there is usually time for the grand free for all in the arena where every robot, still able, fights to the last one standing! Sometimes there are even 2 of these one for the heavyweights one for the feathers, we cannot predict each show exactly as each show is different.
Between battles while the arena is cleared and checked and the roboteers get ready for the next battle you can expect entertainment, this again varies show by show, this year we have Hollywood heroes joining us and Stormtroopers to ensure good behaviour. There are also rumours of a Dalek being seen around Brentwood so I hope any badly behaved children do not get 'exterminated'
We have remote controlled chairs and wheelybins and many other interactive entertainments for you between battles.
This is also a good time to approach the barrier and watch the roboteers at work in the pits - but please remember not to cross the barrier this is there for your own safety, you can collect autographs in the souvenir program too.
Don't forget to say hi to the team if you see us about!
This year for the first time we have a professional photographer on site who will take a picture of you with a static display,which will be given to you in a souvenir presentation frame the cost for this will be approximately £3.50
Merchandising tables and refreshments will also be available at any time during the show.
Feel free to take photographs of your child or of the robots, video cameras are also permitted.
Please DO expect loud bangs and crashes - these robots are huge - and even without the pyrotechnics we also use can be very loud indeed!
The best way to get an idea of the shows is to press play on the movie on the front page or look through the stills on the PICTURES page.
