Match format

Match rules

1
Match start

Placing robots in the arena

Both robots are placed on opposite sides of the arena. The operator stands behind their robot.

  • Robots are placed at starting positions
  • Technical inspection (weight, dimensions, ON/OFF)
  • Judge gives readiness signal
  • Operators begin control on start signal
2
During match

2-minute combat duel

Operators control robots attempting to immobilize or knock out the opponent.

  • Knockout: opponent motionless for 10 seconds — victory
  • Judge stops match if safety is threatened
  • Judges score when time expires
