Circular Saws were a type of small rotating weapon and among the earliest kinds of weapons used in Robot Wars. They were designed purely to slice and grind through opponents’ armour, electronics and wheels/tracks in a designated path, with the intention of causing serious or terminal damage. Very few competitor robots were actually given true circular saws, despite some roboteers and Robot Wars staff members referring to various other rotating disc weapons as such.

  • Circular Saws were a type of small rotating weapon and among the earliest kinds of weapons used in Robot Wars. They were designed purely to slice and grind through opponents’ armour, electronics and wheels/tracks in a designated path, with the intention of causing serious or terminal damage. The first robots to use circular saws were House Robots Dead Metal and Sergeant Bash, while Series 1 champion Roadblock used its rear-mounted saw to good effect as the first competitor to feature one. Roadblock's successor, Beast of Bodmin, and two-time Dutch Series Grand Finalist Lizzard were also able to use saws with considerable success, the latter in Dutch Series 2 only. Very few competitor robots were actually given true circular saws, despite some roboteers and Robot Wars staff members referring to various other rotating disc weapons as such.
