Although it doesn’t have any motion detection/sensor on the blade, the blade is not sharp and is quite chunky. Each robot has their own ultimate secret weapon! Tombstone has a rotating blade that will definitely thrash his opponent! If your child accidentally touches the blade while it rotates, it shouldn’t do much harm to their little fingers. The robots are very well made and each comes with three detachable magnetic pieces that are easy to snap back on. Batteries are included for both the robots and controllers. This set also comes with two infrared (IR) robots (Tombstone and Witch Doctor) and two mini IR remote controls. This is a great size and it fits nicely onto our Ikea coffee table! Fully assemble, it measures 51cm by 51cm by 11cm. The board features authentic graphics just like the television programme. It is straightforward but it does required some strength to slot in all the walls and panels. It did take me some time to put it all together. Setting up the arena will likely require an adult to do it as assembly of the walls onto the fold-out game board and plastic panels is not very easy.

This awesome looking Battlebots Arena includes four side walls, two regular corners, and two corners equipped with push activated pulverizing hammers! Smash your opponent with that hammer! This action packed arena is the perfect place to pit the world’s most notorious robots against one another! It is suitable for aged eight and above. Hexbug Battlebots Arena recreates television’s favourite metallic war-zone, BattleBox.
