This document outlines the requirements for any Team that intends to build and compete in the LethalBots Tournament organized by SLTC campus. The following rules have been constructed to be as unrestrictive to the design process as possible while balancing fairness to other competitors, arena damage, event-scheduling issues, and the safety of all competitors, crew, and audience members. Lethalbots organizers must approve and accept your bot’s design for the Tournament. If your bot was accepted, then it will be accepted for use in the arena. If the design of your bot is accepted and you proceed for further consideration, you will receive additional instructions and/or documentation. Regardless of how you may interpret these rules, LethalBots officials have the final authority of whether your bot design will be allowed to be entered. If you have any questions about the legality of any bot you are planning to build, contact the organizers with detailed explanations and/or drawings prior to starting construction.
