__NOTOC__ |
|||
3lb Robots sometimes known as Beatleweight are the most competitive and most populate weight class at Norwalk Havoc. This weight class is approachable and almost anyone can build an affordable robot in this weight class. Building a winning robot is hard. The best performers in the class are from competitors who have years of experience. The following are the rules for competing at the 3lb Level at NHRL |
|||
=== Saftey === |
|||
* All robots must have a [[weapon lock]] that prevents any spinning 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 ==== |
|||
* 3lbs 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 2lb weight bonus for robots that do not use wheels for motion |
|||
* There is a 1lb bonus for competitors made up for more than 1 robot. |
|||
** If more than half of the total weight of the robots is disabled the whole robot is considered disabled |
|||
* The weight bonuses may be combined for a maximum weight weight of 6lbs (assuming a wheelless 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 |

|||

|||
==== 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. |

|||

We actively encourage competitors to think creatively and imagine new robot designs. The following are examples of things are are perfectly legal within the NHRL rules |

|||
