	'''UPDATE: ''' [[Bot Design Rules\|We have a new ruleset for bot design]], starting with our May 2022 event. All bot design rules below will apply until then. Note that starting in May 2022, all Sportsmen must have an active weapon.

	12 Lb Sportsman class robots are bots the focus heavily on speed, and design, and drivability. '''No exposed spinning weapon is allowed'''. The fights tend to focus on driving skill and the ability to operate robot showing aggression.

	=== Safety ===
	* All robots must have a [[weapon lock]] that prevents any weapons from moving outside of the cage.
	* All robots must have a way to turn off power without disassembling the robot.
	* All robots must pass a [[radio fail safe]] test.

	== Physical Rules ==
	==== Weight ====
	* 12lbs in a fight ready condition. All robots will be weighed prior to their first match.
	* Any camera of video equipment weight can be excluded should you have a camera mounted to the robot
	* There is a 6lb weight bonus for robots that [[Non-wheeled bots\|do not use wheels or tracks for motion]]
	** For a multibot, only the heaviest bot is required not to have wheels to qualify for this weight bonus.
	* There is a 2lb bonus for competitors made up for more than 1 robot.
	** The robot will be considered disabled when 51% or more of the total weight of the bot is no longer moving.
	** The maximum weight of any one bot is 110% the weight class limit (for 12lbs this is 13.2lbs.)
	*** If that bot happened to not use wheels or tracks it it's maximum weight would be 18lbs (12+6lbs)
	* The weight bonuses may be combined for a maximum weight bonus of 6lbs (assuming a wheel-less multibot)

	==== Size ====
	* Robots must be able to fit in a 30"x30"x24" Box in a fight ready condition. The robots may expand or contract during the match
	==== Electrical ====
	* Robots must use electrical systems that operate at less than 60 volts.
	==== Weapons ====
	*
	* Robots in the sportsman class are '''NOT''' required to have an active weapon
	* Weapons which use fire or heat must be able to self light, and self extinguish. See Safety for more information on flame-based weapons.
	* The following weapon types are prohibited
	**'''Spinning Weapons'''
	** Nets
	** Projectiles over 150mph
	** Liquids of any kind
	** Weapons which purposefully disrupt radio signals
	** Strobe Lights
	** Lasers
	=== Team Size ===
	* 4 People Max

	==== Spare Robots ====		==== Spare Robots ====
	Bringing exact duplicate copies of your robot is allowed. In order to count as the same robot spares must be as close to exact copies as possible. This is a common way many competitors speed up repairs. All copies must pass safety before competing. If you are bringing multiple robots in a modular configuration you should be able to demonstrate the modules could be swapped between robots at any time. If you can't, then ~~you~~ ~~can~~'t qualify as a ~~modular~~ robot.		Bringing exact duplicate copies of your robot is allowed.

	Modular bots are robots that can change offensive or defensive features depending on who they up against in the tournament. Repairs and replacing broken components of your robot don't count as a modular robot.		Modular bots are robots that can change offensive or defensive features depending on who they up against in the tournament. Repairs and replacing broken components of your robot don't count as a modular robot. If you are changing less than 10% of your robot weight and none of it is powered, it’s not considered a modular robot! Like all other bots you still need to bring it to the green room in its final ready state.

	* If you are changing less than 10% of your robot weight it’s not considered a modular robot! You do not need to report it to safety on running an additional safety check for any new configuration as long as no powered parts are changed. You must bring your robot in its final configuration to the green room, you cannot change that configuration in the green room.

	* '''No more than 50% of the entry weight (this includes all weight bonuses) budget can change.'''		* '''No more than 50% of the entry weight (this includes all weight bonuses) budget can change.'''

 ==== Spare Batteries ====
 Bringing Spare Batteries is HIGHLY encouraged. Bot's get a minimum of 20 minutes in between matches for repair and recharge. Rarely is this enough time to recharge a fully dead battery. Bringing spare batteries is highly recomended!! If you let the organizers know your battery size and connector type one week in advance (contact@50day.io), we will glady provide you with a spare battery for your bot for free. NHRL has a strong prefrence for XT style connectors XT90/60/30.
