I just love these smaller events because things can just get more unhinged because the bots don’t cost a hundred grand to make.

      There’s weight classes like boxing, so think of it like one 150lb fighter verse a team of one 100lb and a second 50lb fighter. Both still make weigh-in, just different strats.

        Thanks. That was my guess but I wasn’t sure if there was more to it. Like they had to start connected or something

      The rules allow for people to bring minibots in with the main one and they get a little weight bonus for it.

      Actually if you look closer, there was another tiny bot rushing the flame bot at the start but it got destroyed right away, so it was 3 vs 1.

      I think it was actually individual fighters, but the one guy was just so overpowered that the other two tried to gang up on him. And failed.
