Robots Live

Robots Live

"Robots Live" is a robot combat touring show. The first show was held in Whitwick, Leicestershire at the Hermitage leisure centre, on Feb 10th & 11th, 2007.

The Arena

The arena was designed to cope with the conditions of touring and the rigours of robotic combat. The stage is constructed from 24 separate floor panels with 2 layers of wood. The arena walls are built from steel box section and 5mm steel plate to contain the most powerful robots. The rig and stage are modular to allow a variety of size combinations.

The stage is surrounded by 6mm Polycarbonate sheeting, allowing clear vision into the arena while sheltering the audience from flying debris. This is supported by a 10x12 metre self-climbing truss capable of 4 metres in height. The truss supports the polycarbonate screening, roof and lighting.
