How does the battle work?

The arena where the battle takes place is 8x8 meters in size. The arena consists of different obstacles which make the competition more gripping.

​

The length of one fight is two minutes during which the robots must give their best to defeat their opponent. The fight is won when the opponent has been incapacitated for 20 seconds. If both the robots survive the two minutes then the fight will be called even and the jury has to appoint bonus points between the competitors. Bonus points are given for aggression, control and damage made to the robot.

​

The competition format is similar to many robot competitions known around the globe such as BattleBots and Robot Wars.
