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]] |
|||
** In the event you are building a multibot, only the heaviest robot needs to be without wheels. |
|||
* There is a 2lb 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 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) |
|||
*** In order to achieve the no wheels / no tracks weight bonus only the heaviest bot needs to be without wheels |
|||
*** The heaviest robot in any multi-bot setup must have an active weapon |
|||
* 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 |
|||

|||
** Matches may be stopped if video equipment is being damaged by fire |
|||
** Competitors must demonstrate for safety the appropriate respect and precautions when working with flame or heat based weapons. |
|||
==== 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. |
