Competitors are encouraged to bring various junk/recycled materials to the event to be added to the pool of materials builders can use on the day. Please refer to the ruleset and the below general guidance for what materials are permitted.
Scrapbots material guidance: Robot chassis are to be built during the event from plastic and household junk supplied by the competitors, which is dumped into a communal pile before the start. Competitors are allowed to bring any materials they think fit this brief, including metal if it can be considered standard household junk (for example, aluminium cans are fine, a sheet of 10mm 6061 aluminium is not).
