Hello all.

Some updates to some changes in regards to this.

I plan to reduce the number of invite spots down to 15 and open up 1 open qualifier spot to those interested.

To prevent people from entering low effort robots, I'll be running the clause of being able to deny robots for low quality. I'll be specifically looking for build techniques than looking at build styles and how they compare with your other builds, an example of what im looking for is Sickle robotics with Voodoo and Why not SK. This kinda stuff of genuine effort to improve skills and push your boundaries is what I want to see.

Any questions, please post here or direct message me on GTM or discord

"looking at build technique"
Is building your bot out of legos a technique?

I've got no serious responses to this. I'm under the assumption that people aren't wanting this. If you do be vocal please

Hello all.

With the recent discussion about tournaments and rulesets in alignment with the recent self isolation period, I've decided to kick myself into gear to see this event on. This will mean I'll be completing Apex first. I would like to sincerely apologise about the long overdue delay.

What does that mean for you guys?
Whilst I have a list of people I am looking at, it does not mean it is final. I ask that if you are truely looking to be imvited to this, you build and uploaded it for us all to see. You'll have approximately until Apex is finished up to make yourself seen and put on the list. Some people I was looking toinvite are not active, so there is some room fpr new players

In terms of rules. I'll be most likely to use a variant of the 2020 ruleset. Mainly removal of flat motors with exceptions depending on weapon types. 4/6 setup tooth limit. But I'll provide a full ruleset when the time comes.

Thank you all for your patience, in means the world.
