Organiser: Team 13 - John Denny (snr)

Arena: Ant Freeze Arena

Up to 4 robots per team/entrant as per AWS rules, fourth robot must be a walker or cluster.
NO ACTIVE WEAPON RULE THIS YEAR (due to popular demand!)

Separate robots may be entered into Nuts/any other games etc. and are not included in your tournament team numbers.

Usual 150g weight limit and 4 inch cube size limit.

Important bit!.... I will be asking for £2 per robot, this goes towards venue hire and insurance.
for each £2 paid you will get a raffle ticket for a draw at the end.
You may of course donate extra towards the event and get more tickets!
(I havn`t sorted anything for a prize/s yet so I don`t know if it will be robot related)

Means that active weapons are not mandatory. You can bring a wedge/pusher.

Yes that is correct, robots do not need to be armed to enter.
