Robot Specifications

---

We require bots to use the SPARC requirements.  We will not be requiring a powered on light, but would like the power-on sequence to be rather quick.  We will not measure rpms for weapons, but do need spin down times to be under a minute. 

We do not allow flamethrowers for this event, due to administration concerns.

We are going to allow at least 20 minutes between each event for bots to repair, since the fights will get closer together as the tournament goes on.  If more time is needed, please work with out volunteers to allow for this, but if your team takes too long or takes too many delays, you may be forced to forfeit a match.
