Oh really? Our robot will enjoy turning what ever 23b is calling a
"robot" into a confetti of shredded metal and sadness. Bring it on.

Update 10.4.15

The contest has been defined.

Two robots will fight to the death. The 1" thick acrylic arena walls can stop .50 cal bullets.

Twenty pound weight limit, must fit within a milk crate

Melee-focused, electric / microwave / EMP encouraged; no projectiles, flammables, or goos.

220V 30A service for maximum mayhem fun

Be creative, push the envelope, try not to kill anyone.

DOT says flammable liquids have a flash point of less than 60.5°C.

That means Tar and feathers are ok

Their website is finicky for me. Maybe it doesn't like me :( .


If that is all the rules then some devious things could be done indeed. It's the things not said that could be interesting.


Let me know via email on a meet date I'd like to throw some ideas around and work on this.
