During the filming of the Robot Wars: Series 8 Grand Final, a number of whiteboard matches were held to fill time, entertain the audience, and obtain extra footage for the series. After five robots were hand-picked by the producers, the teams were free to organise friendly matches against each other. Of the five battles held, only two contributed footage to the televised series: clips of both Gabriel vs Behemoth and Eruption vs Infernal Contraption were used in the introduction to some episodes.
