Midwest Robot Combat Association Finals 2023

It has all led up to this! The MRCA Finals are once again happening in Oconomowoc, Wisconsin. This is an invite-only event for antweight (1lb) combat robots, but we'll also be running a bracket for beetleweight (3lb) combat robots that anyone can sign up for.

---

All antweights must comply with the MRCA Ruleset.

Antweights will run a double-elimation format seeded based on their MRCA ranking.

All beetleweights must comply with the Betz Botz Ruleset.

Beetleweights are running a Modified Swiss format. The top 4 robots at the end of three qualifying rounds will be sent over to a single elimination tournament to determine the winner.
