Rules:

 

[https://sparc.tools/SPARC_Robot_Construction_Specifications_v1.4.pdf](https://sparc.tools/SPARC_Robot_Construction_Specifications_v1.4.pdf)

Due to this event still being qualified for points, we will follow the current season rules even if V1.5 comes out

 

- No heat, fire, smoke, entanglement, or other weapons that do not fit the spirit of the rules.

- Weapon lock must be clearly identifiable. Ex. neon paint, brightly colored tab, remove before flight tab.

- Bots will have approximately 20 minutes between fights for repairs. This 20 minutes is per bot not per competitor, so if you bring multiple bots you might use up repair time while fighting with the others. Depending on how many show up we might be more lenient on this rule. 

- If your battery is exposed or outside your robot, the fight will be ended immediately in a technical knockout (TKO) with the bot with the battery ejected losing.

- Googly eye weight bonus!

    - You are allowed extra weight to add googly eyes that do not affect the structure or impact the defense/attack abilities of your bot. If your bot already meets the weight limit and adding Googly eyes exceeds the weight limit you are allowed to add them if they meet the previous constraints.

 

Plastic antweight-specific rules:

 

- Approved materials are 3D-printed PET, PETG, ABS, ASA, PLA, and PLA+. TPU and other flexible filament parts are illegal to be used as part of your chassis, armor, or weapons. If you have questions about a specific material’s legality, then please contact the EO.

- No excessive paint allowed for PLAnts due to it increasing strength

 

Format: 

 

- Double Elimination

    - Lose twice and your out 

- 3-minute matches.

- Winners will be determined by judges If the match goes the full 3 minutes  criteria will be 5-6-6 for aggression, control, and damage (Standard SPARC Criteria)

 

Safety:

 

- Safety is the #1 priority for our events. 

- Batteries are recommended to be charged in a LIPO bag. 

- If you are using any power tools, drills, saws, etc.. Please use them outside.

- Anyone violating safety procedures will be removed.
