# Rules
**\[Judge Ethan]** *No, no, plastics go on the left. Careful now. I've got a whistle and I'm not afraid to use it. We can't have a repeat of the Great Sorting Mishap of '24.*
Oh, hello there. I don't remember seeing you around Stardust Springs before. You must be new. Let me confirm that with my logbook. *\*FWEEET\** πΊπ¨ *Call confirmed!*
I'm Ethan Hill, the judge of RoboBatt-- *Hey, turn that machine down! What did I tell you about flying scrap?!* Sorry, we're gathering up all of the scrap from the last match to send off for recycling. Keep your head on a swivel. You don't want to end up in the flight path of Scrap Airlines. βοΈ The scrap in those blue buckets is on itsw way back to Zoe Foxlin's garage to be reused in new robots. β»οΈπ
Oh, you've talked to Zoe? Does that mean you're here to learn the rules of RoboBattles? *\*FWEEET\** πΊπ¨ *5 minute time out for rules initiation!*
The first rule of RoboBattles: there are no rules. *\*FWEEET\** πΊπ¨ *Foul, me!* Nah there actually are rules. I've just always wanted to use that line.
***Next:** Learn the rules of robot crafting β*

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:
```
GET https://play.robobattles.com/battle/rules.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
