Event Format
Western Allied Robotics events use a modified double-elimination format. The final is decided with a single final match. If there are 5 or fewer bots in a weight class they will use a round-robin format. Please read the Rules to make sure your bot qualifies to compete. Plastic Class and Sportsman class rules can be found on the SPARC.tools website.
Registration
We are going to cap registration at 3-bots per driver. If you want to bring more than 3 bots please put your additional bot on the robot-class wait-list. We are doing this to try and accommodate as many builders/teams as we can. If registration doesn't hit capacity then bots will be moved off of the wait list.
Wait Lists
We typically have some churn before the event so put your bot on the wait-list. Wait-lists will be first-come-first-serve. Based on past events there is a good chance that the first few bots on the wait-lists for each class will get to compete.
Pit Tables
Pit table space may be limited so plan accordingly.
