Awkward searching up a tree, but I can't find a home for robot fighting time on here, which is odd because I know I've talked about Robot Wars before. If like me you lament the quick passing of the Robot Wars reboot a few years back and haven't seen the US version, Battlebots, the first two seasons are now on Netflix. I've never been quite sure if Battlebots aired here or not, I think it might have been on channel 5 for a bit.
Like Robot Wars, this Battlebots is a reboot of an older series but it's gone from strength to strength in America and is coming up for it's sixth season this autumn. The style riffs off wrestling shows, much moreso in later seasons where everything is a bit more streamlined, but it's a fun watch. It's been my regular Friday night watch for years.

Annual trip out to the Extreme Robots Live tour today. This being the home of the Robot Wars competitors who didn't make the step up to Battlebots in the US. The UK builders haven't really mastered the art of spinning weapons yet, but plenty of thwack bots and flippers on display. An entertaining two hours of robot combat.
