The arena
The arena is 1.2m x 1.2m with a wooden floor and a hatched pit which will open when a robot touches the in-arena release button.
The planned electronic mechanism malfuncitoned just before the May event and all fights were run with the pit open from the beginning.
We plan to install a manual pit release before June's event
The fights
The draw was made on Wednesday 27 May.
Our competitors are split into 2 groups of 10. Each robot will fight 3 others from its group in the group stage. The draw produced this schedule, which may change slightly if robots drop out.
In this group stage, if a fight makes it to 2 minutes with both robots still mobile, the referee will make a judgement on whether one robot can be called a clear winner or if it is too close to call. The arena marshall may then tilt the referee's decision if they disagree, changing the result from "too close to call" to one clear winner or vice versa, but not from one winner to a different winner.
Points are awarded as follows:
0 - did not start the fight
1 - loss by KO or tapout
2 - loss by judge's decision
3 - too close to call
4 - win by judge's decision
5 - win by KO
The 4 robots from each group with the most points contest the quarter finals. If any robots are tied for 4th place, a tiebreaker fight will take place between them. This is a 1 minute fight which begins with the pit open.
