Check in procedure:

1. Fill out the bot check in form This can be completed at anytime after your arrival.
2. Take you bot, and the bot check in form to the check in station.
3. At the check in station, the bot will be weighed, and a failsafe check performed. The bot check in form will filled out.  Bot entry fee and bot check in forms will be collected by a staff member of MACRO.

 

Tournament procedures:

1. The least dangerous robot goes in the box first. The most dangerous in the box last.
2. The most dangerous bot comes out first, if at all possible. Then the least dangerous bot.
3. If a battery becomes exposed, the match is over. This is a safety thing.
4. In the pits, keep you bots turned off, weapons safeties on and the wheels off the ground. Once more, a safety thing.
5. We will have someone call next match, and on deck match. We will also try to post the current brackets and next fight within the Discord event channel. We have 20 minutes between matches for any one bot, so towards the end, we will likely be having grudge matches to fill time.
6. No late hits. If the other bot is disabled, ask before you hit them again. Basically be polite.
7. Have fun, play safe.
