Each preliminary show in the first season of Robotica featured four robots paired off in a series of three challenges. The winners of each pairing faced each other in a sumo-style 'Fight to the Finish' to determine the winner of the show.
Total points were added for the tree events to determine a winner. In the event of a tie, the robot who won the greater number of events advanced. The winning robots from each pair then faced each other in 'The Fight to The Finish". This event took place on a 15' by 15' platform elevated high above the floor. A low guard rail surrounded the platform for the first minute, then fell away. Last robot on the platform moved on to the finals. The finals worked the same way as the preliminary shows, except there were six robots competing in three pairs. Three robots met in the 'Fight to the Finish'.
