	'''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.

	12lb full combat robots hit much harder than 3lb bots. These robots, while still accessible by amateur and home builders, start to pack a serious punch. In this weight class you can expect to encounter lots of metal and steel. Very few plastic or 3d printed materials can handle the damage these bots can dish out.

	=== 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.
	*Weight of cameras or video-recording equipment does not count towards the weight limit.
	*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 3lb 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 heaviest robot in any multi-bot setup must have an [[active weapon]]'''
	**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 19lbs (13+6lbs)
	*The weight bonuses may be combined for a maximum weight bonus of 7lbs (19lb total weight) (assuming a wheel-less multibot)
	**yes I know this doesn't add up but there is real concern that 21lbs is just too much.

	====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 72 volts.
	====Weapons====
	*Robots must include at least one [[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:
	**Nets
	**Projectiles over 150mph
	**Liquids of any kind
	**Weapons which purposefully disrupt radio signals
	**Strobe Lights
	**Lasers
	===Team Size===
	*4 People Max
	==Example Bots==
	You can learn a ton more by studying past and present competitors at NHRL. Below is the 12lb bot category with information on individual bots.

	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.

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.

 ====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.
