Version 1 NH Antweight Rules

See RobotWars101 for the full Antweight rules and the FRA for general combat robotics rules in the UK. All of these rules/guidelines should be followed unless there is an exception below.

Weight Limit

  • The robot should weigh no more than 150g
  • If it weighs a bit more than 150g, then that's probably fine as long as you're not obviously cheating

Size Limit

  • There is no limit on the robot's dimensions (the 4" cube rule is not enforced)
  • If you are obviously trying to gain an advantage purely by making the robot gigantic, then you will need to be less obvious

Note: if you want to participate at other events around the UK, be aware that enforcement of the 4" cube varies a lot

Open Arena

  • All fights will take place without an enclosure
  • The following weapons are therefore not allowed:
    • Flywheels or other kinetic energy spinning weapons
    • Circular saws or drills
    • High-energy springs

This is not an exhaustive list and the marshal will review the safety of every robot during tech checks.

Inaugural Event - 30th of April 2022!
