About This Event
The Crimson Bot Brawl, hosted by Crimson Robotics at Washington State University, is WSU's bi-annual combat robotics competition. Over the past semester, Crimson Robotics members have been hard at work learning to design, build, and test their own combat robots, and Crimson Bot Brawl is an opportunity to put the results of their hard work to the test against bots built by members of the combat robotics community.
The event will be held on April 25th,** in the SPARK Building on the WSU campus**. Doors will open for competitors at 8am, and to the general public at 10am.
Arena/Rules
We will be using an 8'x8' arena for all matches, and adhering to the standard SPARC ruleset, found here.
The tournament across all weight classes will follow a double elimination style. Each weight class will contain two brackets. The winner of each match will advance in the same bracket while the loser moves to the other. Losing two matches will eliminate the robot from the competition. Finals will consist of the winners of each bracket within the respective weight class.
Suggested Donation
Registration is completely free for all competitors, but we suggest a tax-deductible $25 donation at the link below, which will go towards supporting Crimson Robotics's efforts to open access to combat robotics!
