Robots Live

Robots Live! LTD are the UK's Largest and most successful live robot combat event organisers. For years we have been raising the bar of robotic entertainment, many have tried to copy, but none have succeeded.

We started organising live robot events in 2001, where we organised the 'Wars Bots' show in Coalville, Leicestershire. The show was attended by over 1,000 students. We then went on to host one of the most successful shows at the Snibston Discovery centre, with 30 robots and 2,000 members of the public.

In 2006 we started construction on the Robots Live arena. The arena (built during the winter) was first put to use in our home town of Whitwick for our first event of a successful 2007 tour.

During our 2007 tour, over 12,000 people saw robots in action at Robots Live! Hosted in many large UK venues such as the Excel Centre in London and the Triangle Burgess Hill, where we were voted the best family entertainment show of 2007.

For 2008 we will be attending many of the UK's Largest venues. Adding the Northgate Arena, Rivermead Complex and the NEC to our list. As well as attending some of our 2007 locations such as the Triangle, London Excel and the Telford International Centre.

As well as new locations our show improves. With new large video screens, new arena effects and the addition of the new house robot!

Our machine from TV's 'Scrapheap Challenge'.
The Robots Live! HQ, based in a top secret location in the East Midlands has also been host to many creations.
We have created robots for the special forces. The robot has been designed to travel into hazarders areas, and is operated by remote control with on board cameras, that can be controlled by two miles away!

In the summer of 2007 the Robots Live crew also created a machine for Scrapheap Challenge. Named as the 'Robot Warriors' our challenge was to build a machine that could fire broom sticks up to 50 meters away. The show will be aired in late 2008!
