In the second heat of the new series, Eruption, Aftershock, Crackers N Smash, Gabriel 2, Big Nipper and Carbide all take to the arena in pursuit of Robot Wars glory. The robots will have to fight through brutal group battles and knockout rounds to guarantee themselves a place in the Grand Final.

Reigning champions Carbide are back to try and retain their title but will have to knock out some of the toughest machines in the competition to do so.

Dara Ó Briain and Angela Scanlon present the action from the Robot Wars arena in Glasgow, with commentary from Jonathan Pearce.
