All active kinetic weapons that are legal in the RFL ruleset are permitted, we have a fully enclosed and safe arena.
Arena has a 12" wide drop zone on one side and is fully enclosed by lexan. Floor is steel. Magnets are allowed, but if it is found that your robot can suspend its weight upside-down, it will be disqualified. Flamethrowers allowed with approval in advance.
**UNMODIFIED 12" RC TOY CLASS
Rules for this class:
No weight limit!
Must fit inside a 12 inch diameter circle (NO exceptions)
Must be completely UNMODIFIED as it is directly from the manufacturer. No adding wedges, weapons, etc.
Must be completely RC operated, any frequency, no tethers.
Any RC vehicle allowed, as long as it is completely stock. NO entries will be accepted that are originally designed as combat robots (i.e. VDD bots). If you have questions about if your toy is going to be allowed, PLEASE contact us in advance!
The only modifications allowed are paint/stickers and repairs that do not change the original functionality.
Matches are a standard three minutes, with the winner determined by push-out, knock out, or crowd decision.
Registration fee only $10 per robot (except for RC Toy class, which has half price registration @ $5), enter as many as you like.
Weigh-in starts at 9am, competition starts at 11am.
Gift Certificate Prizes will be awarded to the winners of each weight class. GCRS is now registered with Botrank.com, so the results of this event will be ranked nationally!
*if there are fewer than 3 robot entries in any one weight class, that class tournament will be canceled. Weight classes with fewer than 6 robots will be run as a round-robin tournament.
