Tournament Rules:

• All brackets will follow SPARC guidelines v1.5. Judges will use the "Damage, Aggression, & Control" criteria 
• Brackets with 7+ players will be double elimination. Brackets with 6 or less will be round-robin brackets

Additional Rules:

• All batteries MUST be charged in a fireproof bag or container. Participants who break this rule may be asked to leave.
• Each robot must be able to fit in a 1ft cube (in any orientation). This is done to ensure that if a bot is on fire it can fit in the metal bucket. Flexible parts that can easily be flexed to fit are allowed. (Robots which don't fit must establish a fire plan with the EO)
• Magnets for downforce are allowed (except for Plastic Antweight). The robot cannot have enough magnetic force to hang upside down from a steel plate
• Each bot is guaranteed 20 min of repair time between fights. Bots who need more repair time will be given an additional 20 minutes (Limit once per bot)

***NOTE: In the past, there has been leniency with check-ins. From now on, if your bot is not checked in on time, you will not be placed in the bracket!

Arena Details:

• Arena is 8 x 8 x 4ft in size
• Floor material is steel

We ask that every participant include a photo of their robot in the robot's online profile.
