The Rules

We will be using the most current BattleBots Rule set. Please note that all High School 120 robots must have an active weapon. 

Current Rule Set:
BattleBots Building Rules (Pro / College classes)
BattleBots Building Rules (High School class)
BattleBots Tournament Rules (ALL teams)

New Active Weapon Requirement for Pro, College, and High School Class Robots
All Pro, College and High School (120) class robots are required to have an Active Weapon System. See the Building Rules for all the details.

Radios
The new Building Rules cover this in detail but BattleBots recommends using the Spektrum DX6 or DX7 controller with the BR6000 receiver (or equivalent). The DX6 or DX7 transmitter can be used only with the BR6000 receiver.

Task Oriented Rules
We’re working with VEX to determine the best rules / game for the task oriented competitions. We’ll post soonest.

Registration Details

Registration details will be posted soonest

Tickets

If the chosen location allows, we will sell tickets to this event.  Stay tuned for details.

Other Stuff

Prizes?
Yes, there will be prizes. Watch this space for further details.

Double or Single elimination?
We plan to hold double elimination tournaments for all classes.  That being said, we reserve the right to fall back on single elimination tournaments (or some hybrid) if time won't allow for double elimination.

Arena Hazards
Probably not as we will be using the BotsIQ Arena (same arena that was used at the last Miami competition).
