''Robots Live'' is a touring show that was first launched in 2006. Based on the Hit TV show Robot Wars , Robots Live brings the action from the TV into a live touring show. The first Robots Live show was held in Whitwick, Leicestershire at the Hermitage leisure centre, on Feb 10th & 11th. The show was attended by 1000 members of the public and over 30 robots. THE ARENA The Robots Live arena was constructed over the winter of 2006. The arena (costing over £10,000), was specifically designed to cope with the conditions of touring and surviving the rigours of robotic combat. The entire rig and stage are completely modular to allow any combination and size, to suit any venue. The stage is constructed from 24 separate floor panels with 2 layers of wood. Its unique brick work style construction means no weak joints and, with each panel being the same it can be constructed in any order. The arena walls are built from steel box section and 5mm steel plate to contain even the most powerful of robots! The stage is surrounded by 6mm Polycarbonate sheeting; this allows clear vision into the arena but provides complete safety from flying debris or robots! This is supported by a 10x12 metre self-climbing truss capable of 4 metres in height. The truss supports the entire polycarbonate screening, roof and lighting. 2007 TOUR Robots Live have done a number of shows so far this year.
