We reserve the right to refuse a bot entry to the competition if we feel it is unsafe however we will do our best to work with you to make it safe and able to compete

​

Match Rules:

• Matches last for a maximum of 3 minutes, if there is no winner then our judge will determine the winner based on the fight and tactics used

• To win, you must either disable the other robot, or knock your opponent out of the arena (touching the outer wall of the polycarbonate arena within the knockout area counts as a knockout)

• Each driver can have 1 unstick or power cycle per match

• If a battery becomes exposed, the match will stop, this will count as the drivers unstick

• Bots can be repaired between matches using equipment on hand to you, however the overall bot must not change

• Simple changes can be made to your bot between fights, for example a change of weapon or armour configuration however drastic changes may be asked to be un-done

• Cluster bots are allowed and 66% of the bots must be knocked out of the arena/immobilised for the other bot to win

• It is permissible to have multiple drivers

• Where possible we will space matches so that each driver and bot gets a break for repairs, in the event this can not be done, the driver will have a maximum of 7 minutes to repair their bot or to make modifications, this may be increased on the day based on the match layout
