Mixxer Robotics Rumble

Welcome to Mixxer Robotics Rumble  This tournament is sponsored and hosted at Mixxer Community Makerspace.  Mixxer is a public community Makerspace that provides tools, training, and coworking space for the maker community of the Triad area.

The schedule is designed to have extra time. The event may end early.

Safety: To pass safely, your bot will need to be weighed and demonstrate that it can failsafe. For safety purposes, if a robot’s battery is exposed to its opponent, that robot will lose the fight. In the event of a lipo puncture or fire, we will have a lipo bucket with kitty litter and tongs, as well as someone nearby who can run the bucket out of the building. 

Arena: We have a 4x42 foot box with a plaskolite floor surface. Walls are double layer 1/4 inch polycarbonate with a 2x2 bottom rim.  

Rules: We will be using the standard Sparc ruleset for full-class metal antweight, plastic antweight, and fairyweight. There will be no "wiggle room" above the maximum weight (150 and 454 grams). 

Fighting Format: The tournament will use a modified double elimination bracket. If a weight class has less than 6 robots, we will do a round-robin tournament for that weight class. Our weight classes and maximum class sizes are:

Prizes: Thanks to our generous sponsors, this event will have prizes for all 3 weight classes! In full combat and plastic ant weight:

Money stuff: Builders will be charged a $20 entry fee per robot. 100% of the proceeds will go to upgrade our enclosure to a 8x8x4 Beatle Class arena, and eventually a 12x12x8 Hobby Class arena. You can pay at the event in cash, or Register on our website ahead at https://www.wsmixxer.org/events

Entry to the building: Parking is provided by Mixxer Makerspace. You are welcome to park in the grass if the parking lot is full, just be mindful to not block anyone in.
