Yeah, so that's UK Robot Wars.

The Wiki Page says there was an American Robot Wars, that was actually the original that aired in 1994. There was three challenges each robot had to pass. Must have been what I saw.
And I don't think those early years were ever televised. Now I'm thinking you had UK Robot Wars and then something other than US Battlebots.

Ah, ah, ah! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robot_combat Has a "Robitica":
2001 - Robotica appears on The Learning Channel as a weekly series. The format features tests of power, speed and maneuverability as well as combat. The show ran in three series, ending in 2002.
So that looks suspiciously like the other thing you saw.
