Removable links (often just called links and sometimes referred to as safety links or killswitches) are small detachable power switches which are used to activate and deactivate robots competing in Robot Wars and other robot combat events. They are roughly rectangular-shaped with power sockets at one end and a wire forming a solid hoop-like extension on the other end. The design of removable links allow them to be easily attached to or detached from the robot's electrical system.

abstract	Removable links (often just called links and sometimes referred to as safety links or killswitches) are small detachable power switches which are used to activate and deactivate robots competing in Robot Wars and other robot combat events. They are roughly rectangular-shaped with power sockets at one end and a wire forming a solid hoop-like extension on the other end. The design of removable links allow them to be easily attached to or detached from the robot's electrical system. Once removed, a removable link automatically cuts off power to the robot's drivetrain and weapons, rendering it immobile and making it safe for transportation, inspection and maintenance in the Pits. It was not uncommon for them to either come loose or fall out completely mid-way through a battle, if a robot was hit in the area where the link was housed. This, in turn, would instantly immobilise the affected robot, with notable cases including Bulldog Breed 3's loss to Hypno-Disc in Series 5 and Apollo's loss to Carbide in the Head-to-Head rounds of the Series 8 Grand Final. The term failsafe - referring to a completely different component - was frequently conflated with link, even on Robot Wars itself, which led to occasional confusion.
