People are freaking out at the news that Robot Wars will return to BBC this year

This is the biggest news in the history of the robotics industry - Robot Wars is back.

It's been more than a decade since the BBC last put taxpayer money into making robots attempt to brutally murder each other for our viewing pleasure, but finally the national broadcaster has seen sense as they have decided to reboot the series. A six-episode series has been commissioned for BBC2 to run this year and will be filmed in a "literally bullet-proof" arena in Glasgow, according to BBC's acting controller of entertainment Alan Tyler. Details like who will host it or how to enter have not yet been released, but we'll be sure to update you when we know. In the meantime, people are obviously getting very excited at the news... https://twitter.com/liquidmatt/status/687238532365172736 https://twitter.com/Becca_DP/status/687232387894407168 https://twitter.com/alex_jrobertson/status/687242252079489024 https://twitter.com/adamlivvo/status/687242178301706245 https://twitter.com/McKelvie/status/687241852618162176
