The BDB will show you all of the upcoming events in North America and keeps track of bots that have competed at those events. It is free for builders and is also a useful tool for searching robot names to make sure you don't use someone else's.

Nearly all of the registration fees are put right back into the prize pools for each weight class. Prizes are often as high as $200 for 1st place, $100 for 2nd place and $50 for 3rd place.

For builders wanting to compete at an SCRC event, there are some new policies in affect:
• Fees must be in two weeks before the event. After that there is a $15 penalty.
• No entries will be accepted one week leading up to the event.
• Entries retracted in that week will lose $15 of the total fees being returned.
