Engineered for Destuction 12

Backwoods Combat Robotics will be partnering with Middle Tennessee Robotic Arts Society to host Engineered for Destruction at the Adventure Science Center in Nashville, Tennessee. 

No entry fee required for participants and one guest to the event. If you are bringing a guest, we need to know their name to give to the Adventure Science Center. Any additional guests will need to pay admission to the Adventure Science Center

Tables and chairs will be provided, but bring extension cords if needed. Doors will be open at 7:30 am, competition will start at 9 Central time.  We do need to be out of the facility by 5, so we are limiting sign ups to two robots per person, per class.

• We will be running a swiss style competition with three or four rounds for this event. This will guarantee that everyone gets to compete at least three times. We will then take the top bots and do a single elimination from there. 

• Judges will score on two categories, damage and engagement. I have included a link with more details.

Please reach out to Jason Rogers at Backwoods Combat Robotics with any questions.

We will allow for a 50% weight bonus for shufflers. After this event we plan to change to a 25% shuffler bonus to keep consistent with other nearby clubs.

We will be using a 6x6x4 arena made from 1/2in polycarbonate and additional ½ in x12in  poly toe board with seamless steel floor for all classes. Unlimited magnets are allowed. TPU is allowed for printed ants, as well as any other conventional printed material.  No bullitt material or CNC parts allowed. No flame bots allowed.
