The challenge will be primarily run on our Discord server so make sure to come JOIN US THERE!

Our second Engineering challenge is live NOW and ends on Saturday, July 15, 2023, 9:00 PM CET Once ended we'll have a LIVESTREAM on Monday, July 17, 2023, 7:00 PM CET where we pit your robots against one another in a Tournament.

Robots will be manually reviewed by us in our official Discord to avoid any shenanigans :)

We have a strict ruleset this time around, your robot must:

  • Be an original device

  • Be a single device no heavier than 50Kg

  • Fit within the orange area/scale (you'll find it in our world)

  • Not extend past the red area/scale

  • Not include banned components

  • Not use any stage nodes

  • Be physically stable and not use glitches

  • Robots must have transceiver interface component attached and working

(The scale is a 1.50x1.50x1.50 Meters cube with a 2M extension area) On the arena, it must

  • Only move on TRUE signal from transceiver CH1

  • Stop moving on FALSE signal on transceiver CH1

  • Not send any other signal on transceiver

  • Only touch the top part of the platform

BANNED COMPONENTS: Drone - Zero gravity - Thruster - Death ray - Plasma Cannon - Plasma Toggler - Self Destructor - Fans - Webcam & Communicator Despawner - Component Spawner- Raw Hinge - Raw Motor - Raw Servo - Joiner

You can share your Sumo Bot, directly In-Game with the Title "Sumo" followed by the robot's name.

You can also share your creation on our Discord in the #engineering-challenge channel, which will give us the chance to review it and give you some tips on how to improve it!

LET THE BATTLE BEGIN!
