| - The arena consists of a square, 6mm steel surface with an area of 15x15m surrounded by high steel walls, and a gap to the "bulletproof" panels. This outer box has an area of 20x20m. The walls consist of a solid wall of slightly higher height than previous arenas, with high bulletproof panels on top of most of the walls. There are three robot entrances (one in the middle of three of the walls) and a similar section along the fourth wall holding the pit release button where the high bulletproof panels do not exist: these are theoretically the only places a robot can throw another out of the arena. Around the arena is The Trench, where robots who have been flipped out will end up, beyond this is seating for the live audience, with a capacity for 400 people . Two control booths, now referred to as Control Rooms or Viewing Towers, are located behind the front wall, each shielded with bulletproof panels. As before, teams control their robots from inside each control room, however unlike in previous series, the hosts are also able to perform interviews there instead of the now-abandoned central booth/balcony. Occasionally, the show's hosts could also be seen watching battles from inside one of the control rooms. In Series 9, the arena floor was given a minor repaint, with more black spores painted in.
