Hot Bot Summer
Welcome to our August 12 event, Hot Bot Summer!
Competitors can register here.
Here is the list of registered bots.
Learn more about our competitors here.
As in June, multiple registrations from the same builder are allowed; however, if we get to 160 registrations in 3lb, we will remove multiple entries from the same captain. We will have a hard limit of 160 registrations in 3lb from unique captains.
There are no registration limits for 12lb and 30lb bots at this time, but we are keeping an eye on it, and will announce any changes as soon as we can.
Registration will be open until Saturday, July 29 at 11:59 pm EDT. There is a $25 per bot registration deposit, which will be refunded after the event, as long as you check in at the event with your bot.
Weapon Restrictions
Flamethrowers will be allowed at this event. Fireworks and rocket motors will not be allowed at this event.
Brackets
Here are Round 1 Qualifiers matchups for all weight classes.
Brackets coming soon!
We are using True Finals, our new bracket platform, to run this event. The bracket will start the day showing placeholders. We will start populating each bracket after that weight class' Boss round is complete, and it will periodically update.
In addition to showing the bracket, True Finals will let you see which bot is in which cage, and you will be able to see all fights, including qualifiers and grudges.
You can see all non-bracket fights in the "Exhibition" page. Despite the name, this is where Qualifier fights will show up.
The "Players" page shows a list of bots, plus the placeholders for the day. If a bot is listed as "not participating," that simply means it hasn't made the bracket yet. This will be updated during the Qualifier rounds.
Predictions
Our predictions challenge is open! Try to predict the top 4 bots of each weight class.
Here is how our fans have voted so far.

Another area is the Titanium Stage, which contains Cages 5, 6, 7, and 8 both for 3lb bots.
