Aggression - how much battling the robot engaged in.If none of above was achieved in combat the following criteria would be judged: Robot Wars is a knockout game and robots can be "out" when they are: So in case you want to play your BattleBots HEXBUG Robots by the combat rules, here they are. HEXBUG BattleBots is lots of fun and entertaining for kids and adults. The arena is not easily collapsible and so we end up with a rather large toy that can't be easily stored in a small UK home. In my mind the play is short lived and my kids soon moved on to other things. You could play with the Robots without the arena, but just make sure you keep an eye on small pieces which are only attached to the robots with weak magnets. It's THE toy that all the friends want to play when they come over to our house.

If your kids are big fans of Robot Wars or BattleBots TV series the HEXBUG BattleBots is a great way for them to have robot battles at home. It's an exciting toy and provides a lot of entertainment value. My kids were really excited to play with the BattleBots. Allowing kids to see inside the "big black box" lets them better understand how things work and hopefully inspire them to make and invent themselves. It makes the BattleBots more interesting as a toy, as kids can see how the motors work and in the case of Tombstone see a pulley operating the robot's weapon. HEXBUG made the housing for the "engine" of the robots see-through so you can see the motors, circuit board, and wires. The body of the robots attaches with small magnets so they can "fly" off during battle. It's great you can see "inside" the robots. But be careful of fingers and flying parts during battle! The Bronco and Bite Force robots are push activated but can also be played in the arena as they are dimensionally the same size as the remote controlled robots. These should be able to work with the other robots in the arena - you can have up to 4 remote controlled robots in the arena. Then there's the Tarantula twin pack, which includes two remote controlled robots. They are also available separately without the arena. The BattleBots arena comes with two remote controlled robots, Witch Doctor and Tombstone. It's good to know which are which and what you'll get and how they work together. Within the HEXBUG BattleBot range there are motorised robots and push-activated robots. Two remote control battle robots, Tombstone and Witch Doctor, two push pulverising hammers and the arena. HEXBUG BattleBots Arena - What's included? Like Robot Wars, BattleBots TV series have experienced a revival and returned to ABC in 2015, with 7th season in 2016 and another to be confirmed. The American version of Robot Wars, BattleBots, and screened on Comedy Central in 2000 for the first time. Robot Wars is centred around the sport of robot combat teams of roboteers fight robots against each other avoiding arena hazards and "house robots" - some household names include Shunt, Matilda and Sir Killalot. Mark Thorpe was the brainchild of Robots Wars and came up with the idea whilst trying to make a remote controlled vacuum cleaner! It was hugely successful and future series were confirmed for the next 3 years. In 2004 the series was axed, but returned to TV in 2016 with a new arena, house robots and presenters. History Robot Wars TV series started in UK first broadcast on BBC in 1998.
I took a look at the toy with my two kids aged 8 and 6.ĭisclaimer: Hexbug sent us a BattleBots Arena to review. We hope kids using this toy, however, will be inspired to build their own robots in future. The Hexbug BattleBots Arena lets kids bring that experience into their own homes without needing to build their own robots.
There seems to be something really appealing to watch robots battle it out for survival and marveling at the engineering ingenuity of the roboteers. Both TV series have experienced a revival in the last couple years and growing in popularity. Hexbug developed a set of battling robots inspired by the popular TV series BattleBots (USA), a spin-off of Robot Wars (UK).
