Robert Grimm, a 43-year-old data analyst, said: 'We were inspired by the original Robot Wars, which we used to watch together. I used to say to me dad that we would be able to build better ones, so we thought we'd have a go.'

Gilbert Grimm said; 'Filming was a very enjoyable experience, however we also greatly enjoy taking part in live shows and competitions across they country. The two aspects are dependent on one another - one could not exist without the other.

'I can't say too much about how we got on, but over the years Matilda is the house robot that has caused us the most problems. Sir Killalot is a pussycat!'

To date the pair have made around 10 robots together, with previous model - Iron Awe Five - bringing home the UK Championships in 2008.

Iron Awe Six weighs almost 110kg and built from a hard grade of steel, attacking competitors with a heavy duty flipper, powered by a carbon dioxide cylinder.

Robert Grimm said: 'The biggest challenge is reliability and keeping the robots in working order - they certainly take more than their fair share of punishment in the arena.'

Gilbert Grimm added: 'It's definitely not a cheap hobby and we are always on the lookout for sponsors.'

The episode is on at 8pm on BBC Two on Sunday, November 12.
