Battle Rules

[Judge Ethan] The battle rules are designed to make sure the robot with the most exciting recycling performance is the winner. 💥

How to Win

1. Eject the other pilot, OR

2. Knock out the other robot, OR

3. Finish the battle with the most recycling points

Ejection

1. A pilot has ejected if they are no longer connected (directly or indirectly) to their robot's hub.

Knockout

1. A robot is knocked out if the player has lost control over its movement.

2. If a robot looks like it is no longer under the player's control, the battle is paused and the player must show control by driving their robot to a particular area of the arena.

Recycling Points

1. If a battle reaches the 2 minute mark, the robot with the most recycling points wins.

2. Recycling points reward a robot for having decorations that break apart in battle.

   1. If your robot causes the crash, you get points for all decorations that break off— even your own.

   2. If both robots cause the crash, each player gets points for decorations that break off their own robot.

   3. The more awesome the crash looks, the more points it's worth.

Unsticking

1. If both robots get stuck for 10 seconds, battle is paused and the robots may be separated.
