Rules and Regulations
SCRC tournaments are run under the Robot Fighting League standardized rules and regulations. These are designed to make the tournaments safe, fair and exciting all at the same time.
Before you start having wild fantasies of flying robots that will breathe fire (oh wait that's a dragon), download and read these thoroughly and carefully. It's important that you know all the rules clearly to make your robot building experience as safe and enjoyable as possible.
See below for commonly asked rule questions and any rules differing from the RFL Standardized Rules.
RFL 2010 Technical Regulations
RFL Standard Match Rules
Here are some of the rules I get asked about a lot. These apply to all SCRC organized events.
• A double knockout / double pushout will restart both bots in their corners.
• There is a 1kg "kilobots" weight class run under "Sportsman" rules (no wedges or spinners).*
• Weight bonuses: Shuffler 50%, Walker 100%, Autonomous 50%. (so AutoWalker 150%)*
• No fire or explosive weapons, liquid, radio jamming. Think "bashing."
• AM or "toy radios" are only allowed for non-weaponed bots.
• Your bot must have a visible power light/LED and a main power switch or plug that you can power down quickly after a match.
• Your bot must have a visible weapon locking device, which is taken out after the bot is powered up.
• An electronic failsafe is required for all weapons.
• Internal Combustion Engines (ICE) are allowed provided you wipe down the arena walls and floor after every match.
*These weights differ from RFL Rules and may not be allowed in other events. Keep that in mind when building.
