The arena is composed of a 2.5 ft raised square containing two starting squares at opposite corners and two obstacles.
For the first iteration these obstacles will be two ramps designed to help robots push each other out of the arena. Future obstacles may include the following:
- a sweeper arm
- fallout ramp
- high-center wedges.
Battles last 3 minutes unless one bot suffers a mechanical failure (ie- stops moving, control of the bot is lost, etc...), or if one of the "Winning" conditions below is met.
Players win a battle by defeating their opponent in one of the following ways:
1- Flip: They have flipped their opponent over.
2- Pin: They have placed their opponent in a position where they cannot move.
3- Push: They have pushed their opponent completely out of the arena.
If none of the above conditions are met, the robot who exhibited the most control of the match will be awarded the win by a judge or panel selected prior to the battle.
