DSL IRL 2.6
RW 2016 Arena
HW (800kg)
72 bots in total (59 plus 12 seeds and the winner of the ‘New’ Blood in Buster Wars Extreme)
Format is 12 heats of 6, following the Robot Wars Series 10 format (6 bots split into two rumbles where one bot from each rumble wins followed by redemptions, leading to the heat semi finals where one bot wins the heat to reach the semi finals).
The heat finalists are sent to two wildcards, consisting of 6 bots each who fight in 3-way rumbles except only 1 bot goes out of each and then followed by a round robin where 2 bots each come out on top
This leaves 16 bots split into two Semi Finals in a single-elim bracket for the winner.
3 bots per person, split into a lock-in, a qualifier and a reserve. Seeded entries and the ‘New’ Blood winner don’t count towards the total. The signup period will last for a month
Once signups close, certain qualifier bots may be able to skip it and go directly to the comp and some reserves may be picked for extra qualifier bots.
Qualifier format is similar to OW/MM, consisting of several single elim groups of four bots with the winner making it into the main comp
