Re: BattleBots Return - And They're Powered by VEXpro!

After reading quite a bit about battlebot design here, I'm curious what limitations there are on Battlebot action during their 3 minute matches.
  • Can robots climb or entangle with the field or field elements?
  • Could a battlebot be totally defensive? Or would that be a poor design choice due to one of the tiebreakers being "aggression"?
  • How large can these battlebots be when they start the match? How large can these battlebots be during the match?
  • How much of the robot can I change between matches? It seems that modularity is allowed, but when does removing a module become removing what mkes the robot itself?
  • Do the Battlebots participants get free corndogs?
If the last answer is yes, goodye FRC, hello BATTLEBOTS!
